Obsfucation can help stimey scripts. I saw using a non-standard port mentioned.

You can also setup a reverse proxy to deliver a different, empty site to a different dns entry by default. Use either a completely separate (as opposed to multidomain) cert for each, or a wildcard cert.

Jellyfin also supports using a custom path, instead of delivering at the root. Your reverse proxy would need to be configured accordingly.

I came here to make a similar comment. In KDE just use.. I could swear it was ctrl+alt+arrow key but a quick search tells me it's meta+arrow key (currently on my phone) to tile windows if I want. Quarter or half sceen tiling works for me so I'm content with that. OP didn't specifically say dynamic tiling so perhaps one of these methods will be sufficient for OP?

I'll check out that tiling feature mentioned above, I wasn't aware of it and am curious!

most people are against you (them)

That has not been my experience, but it's subjective right? I live in a conservative area. So also generally pro our current law enforcement system.

You are. Reformat and install the first hardware compatible distro you find on https://distro.moe/ right now. Don't think too much about it, just do it! /s, probably?

If checking out a different distro sounds interesting and/or fun then you should. If not, then don't. Whatever way you Linux is the correct way for you.

That's fair. It's good to educate on these things.

I knew about Redhat's recent bad behavior, I somehow missed that IBM owns Redhat. So TIL.

I dropped Fedora in light of recent news but I'm not OP. They can decide for themselves on that. If OP or anyone is interested in learning more, a search for RHEL source paywall will get you there.

Stick with your distro and try Gnome. Fedora is pretty high up there on the "just works" category.

TL;DR: Ubuntu. Because I want choices.

Ubuntu. And I've felt that way for a long time, so it's not something recentish like snaps.

I don't want my distro to decide what DE and software I'm using for me. They used to have a minimal iso which gave you, as the name suggests, a very minimal install. But now their minimal image is meant for containerized stuff and if memory serves comes with some extra cruft for that purpose.

I got annoyed and I left. And every distro I've tried since, even if I didn't stick with it, I liked better.

To add some constructiveness, as that's just complaining. That can be a good thing, just depends on the user. If they want the crafted experience Ubuntu provides, then it's a good pick. It's just not for me.

I wonder if it is notorious?

Do most Linux users (in this context we'll say people who specifically choose to use Linux and by extension chose a specific distribution) look unfavorably on proprietary software being excluded by default?

For me, I prefer it so I don't see it that way. But it is also an extra step and an annoyance if you want things to "just work". Which is an understandable position.

Food for thought, I guess.

LFS feels like the next logical step in that progression.

X11 is like a big dilapidated house. It doesn't work very well anymore and is difficult to maintain.

Wayland is new modern house. Smaller and more efficient, but missing some amenities that the old house had that some people still want, like a wood burning stove.

I've ended up with NixOS, because I still like getting punished by my software.

Suck it, nix users. You know it to be true.

.... true.
