    I know what you mean, just beware: in lots of cases it’s not as universal (as in distro-independent) as some still think it is.

    For people who want to get things done with their PC that isn’t inherently IT-related (like, doing office work or music production or anything else) and just need to do the occasional light sysadmin thing like setting up new drives to be auto-mounted somewhere, pointing to GUI tools is just so much better. And in many cases it is also safer (making your system fail on boot with a small typo in the fstab is painfully easy).



  • Of course not, /e/OS itself isn’t optimally safe either (they aim for maximum compatibility, so most phones can’t even relock the bootloader). But it’s way, WAY better than a completely unpatched phone from years ago. Not to mention /e/OS gets rid of all the Google spyware in a user-friendly way, and the newer Android makes sure you don’t run into compatibility issues.

    Then you heard wrong, those are arguably outdated information (how finicky permissions are is rather subjective). And it’s only bloat if you ignore the advantages things like version-pinning offers.

    You might confused the speed argument with Snap. Those are noticeably slow.
