Not sure I believe that for a minute. There's definitely a group there, nobody can deny that, but Norse mythology is incredibly popular among leftists too - I say this as somewhat of a Norse mythology leftist, whose favorite viking/odinist/pagan band preaches unity and kindness among all people and is fronted by a polyamorous bisexual - there's a lot to love in the mythos and the factual history, and it appeals to a wide variety of people for a wide variety of reasons.

Wait, is just using a Valknut considered a hate symbol? I was under the impression that it was a pretty common "I like Vikings/Odin/Paganism" type symbol... Same with Tyr tbh.

And even then with nixos-rebuild switch you won't really notice that you're "rebuilding" anything

I don't see any racist comments at all... A bit confused tbh, there's just you and the other person explaining that LibreSSL seems abandoned.

Edit: The comments on Phoronix, now I get it

That group description reeks of "Russian plants placed to make the pro-Palestine crowd look bad" not gonna lie - especially since a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group would have a sum total of 0 reasons to target IA (and be cocky dicks about it)

This may be an unpopular opinion, but NixOS. It has package up-to-dateness comparable to (and sometimes better than) Arch, but between being declarative (and reproducible) and allowing rollbacks, it's much harder to break. The cost is, of course, having to learn how to use NixOS, as it's a fair bit different to using a "normal" Linux distro.

Look up "Commonality"/"Commonality Sol" (theme), "Reactionary" (theme), and "GNUStep" (icons) on the Plasma theme library, I think you'll find some stuff you like. Also, in Plasma Settings' "Window Style", select "MS Windows 9x".

My laptop looks very similar to this, running KDE Plasma 6.1, so yes, yes it is.

Not to be all "it works on my machine" but like,, it does. I've never seen or heard of any of these issues on a framework on Linux - using Plasma in NixOS in my case, and frequently using Picard, Spotify, and Firefox. Given they have official support for both Ubuntu and Fedora (Big Gnome moment), and have done in-house testing on both distros, as well as having Arch(?) and NixOS users on the engineering team, I think you might be looking at a problem in your own config rather than something innate to Framework?

Was ready to downvote but this is actually a really good guide, well done OP! The one issue I will raise, though, because I faced it myself, is that as long as you're still using Windows, it is way too easy to just go back to using the Windows programs not the open source ones. Only through switching to Linux can you really "throw yourself into the deep end" and force yourself to learn these new things. Microsoft has made themselves the "path of least resistance" (or at least that of "most momentum" for a reason) and if you've been using a computer for a while, it's a lot easier to break the habits and realise the benefits by giving yourself no other option than it is by trying to discipline yourself into using the new options.
