jack,

I haven’t tried Ubuntu yet myself, but generally I’m turned off by some decisions Canonical makes, especially the whole Snap thing adding complexity, slow app startup and proprietary store. Not very trustworthy.

But you are right, Ubuntu is the most popular and things like eduroam will likely work.

jack,

Fair enough.

jack,

Good ideas, I will consider that.

It’s his laptop after all, so I believe your appreciations on the beauty of desktop environments are secondary.

You are right. I was thinking that the Fedora workflow might give him some Linux-exclusive benefits over Windows so he might consider switching his main laptop too. Mint is rather a drop-in replacement for Windows so the advantages of Linux are not very visible/important for a newcomer. At least compared to a DE like GNOME.

That is factually wrong: fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/38/ChangeSet#Unfi…

Okay, after removing all the preinstalled media players plus firefox and reinstalling them through Flathub it might be possible to skip the official tutorial.

Fedora should just preinstall everything as flathub flatpaks.

the problem will only be delayed on Mint because Mint’s underlying Ubuntu core is just older. Once a newer security policy comes to Mint, it will have exactly the same problem.

That is a valid point. Although I can imagine that Mint devs would rather leave legacy TLS enabled to be more user-friendly.

In the meantime, according to fedoraproject.org/wiki/…/StrongCryptoSettings2#Up… the security defaults of Fedora can be rolled back to an earlier level quite easily.

Thanks for the link, I will try this.

jack,

Thanks for your input.

jack,

LMDE is the future of Mint, hopefully with a Flatpak-first approach.
