Excellent find.
I also noticed this, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt as Arch is a community-driven distro and perhaps they were trying to allude to that fact.
Curiously, the cream of the crop in terms of security-focused Linux (i.e. Kicksecure and secureblue) leverage systemd to their benefit.
I have to agree with the positivism surrounding Kate. It has been the only one (together with KDevelop) out of the 5 text editors I've installed and tested since yesterday that actually did what I desired from it. Props to the devs! Let's see if it can dethrone Emacs 😜.
Thank you!
I tested Notepad Next, which seems to be Notepad++' cross-platform alternative. However, I wasn't able to get the folding functionality on a Markdown file. Am I doing something wrong?
I've tried Kate since yesterday, it has been one of the better ones for now.
JetBrains Fleet seems like a cool project. But I'll probably wait until it's open sourced. Thanks anyways!
I am starting to attest this. I've tested a couple of text editors since yesterday and -surprisingly- only Kate (and KDevelop) have (so far) been able to pull this off.
Hopefully it will receive it soon*; my Helix-installation has been collecting dust ever since the folding-workflow has been growing on me.
i did have to roll back there
I think this is pivotal!
Updates can come with breaking changes. Therefore, the way a distro handles its updates is perhaps more important than its update cadence:
- Some choose to outright freeze packages and only come with security updates
- Others have (almost) excessive testing to prevent breakage
- Yet others employ rollbacks to ensure that the (eventual/inevitable) breakage can easily be deflected
- Finally, there are distros that fall on a spectrum in regards to their more radical state management in hopes of minimizing breakage
- (Though, I'm sure I've forgotten some other methods...)
- And, of course, we find combinations of the above employed on the very same distro/system
Sorry for my ramblings, but with M$ sunsetting W10, I feel there's a great opportunity for Linux to capitalize on this event. Yet, as your own experience clearly shows, the 'default' to recommend Mint/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS (or your average Ubuntu-based distro) isn't always a guarantee for success. And were it not for your insistence on trying out different distros, we might have 'lost' you 😭. Hopefully we will ever-adapt as a community to better accommodate the needs of to-be M$-refugees.
But how is it a security nightmare? Or did you mean "distraction", but chose to use "nightmare" for -I suppose- exaggeration (or similar/related reasons)?
doesn’t matter if you downloaded malicious code
Hmm..., please help me understand: say, I installed a flatpak that included malicious code. But, it required some permission to enact upon its maliciousness. Which, it never received. And thus, if my understanding is correct, it couldn't enact upon its maliciousness. How didn't Flatpak's security model not matter in this case? Apologies if I sound obnoxious (or whatsoever)*, but I'm genuinely trying to understand your case.
I suppose you're referring to the following resources. Am I right?
To me, what matters is what guarantees they offer and/or plan to offer,
Let's indeed hope that they back it up with action. Better late than never. Though, I wonder what "guarantee" you're referring to.
FWIW, slightly over a month ago, someone started working on a solution. ~~The conspiracy theorist inside of me would like to think this is related to the return of Ventoy's maintainer. But I digress...~~

Would you be so kind to substantiate the above claim beyond what's found below?
