They should have also mentioned GrapheneOS

Definitely check out The Linux Experiment on YouTube. DistroTube and Mental Outlaw also make great videos about Linux, some of them are more advanced though. If you need to learn how to use the Terminal, check out Learn Linux TV, as well as some other recommendations from these threads: https://lemdro.id/post/8480193 and https://lemmy.ml/post/15455439
You don't need to, but the entire framework has been specifically designed around this GNOME development philosophy, making it basically unusable for anything else. There are much better frameworks like Qt (C++/QML, but has bindings for almost every language), Iced (Rust), Avalonia (if you use C#) and many others
Stay away from proprietary crap like Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. There are enough FOSS alternatives out there:
- You just want to message a friend/family member?
- Signal is the way to go
- You need strong privacy/security/anonymity?
- SimpleX
- Session
- Briar
- I can't really tell you which one is the best, since I never used any of these (except for Session) for an extended period of time. Briar seems to be the best for anonymity, because it routes everything through the Tor network. SimpleX allows you to host your own node, which is pretty cool.
- You want to host an online chatroom/community?
- You need to message your team at work?
- You want a Zoom alternative?
I'm very happy with Syncthing, you can configure how you want the sync to work (e.g. one-way sync, two-way sync, etc.), the web GUI is pretty good and it's not that hard to set up. I got the idea from this video back when I initially set up my seedbox, have been using this solution ever since and encountered any issues.
Sounds good, I would be interested as I'm currently playing around with Nix myself
Not libadwaita, but GNOME. GNOME apps are meant to be simple, and only do one single thing.
https://developer.gnome.org/hig/principles.html
The best apps do one thing and do it well.
Resist the pull to try and make an app that suits all people in all situations. Focus on one situation, one type of experience.
It's also a bad idea if you want to build anything that's more complex than GNOME's single-purpose apps that lack all kinds of features. Building something as complex as a DAW would be a nightmare with libadwaita.
Libadwaita has been specifically designed for simple GNOME-style applications that only have one purpose and don't include many features. I wouldn't recommend it for complex project like a DAW.
It's not packaged for Fedora, as simple as that.
Unfortunately there's no Flatpak either. You can try asking in the Matrix channel: #alpaka:kde.org
Bad idea. Very bad idea, especially for more complex projects.
Still glad they mentioned this topic at all. I wouldn't have expected it from LTT.
