I don’t plan to use it personally (Silverblue enjoyer here), but I can definitely see it as a more future-oriented alternative to Mint, especially for beginners.
It seems to have a similar philosophy (user friendly and stable), with the difference that it might be more suited for younger users that aren’t spoiled by traditional desktop workflows (Windows, KDE, etc.) yet.
My generation (those younger than 25) grew up using phones and tablets and will appreciate a simple, immutable system with Gnome way more than those who are older.
I use timeshift on my arch, debian and fedora systems. First backup mirrors your whole drive, every new backup kinda does it like docker, files which stayed the same are being symlinked to the og backup and for file changes it puts the newer file into the next backup, file deletions just don’t get links, so you have versioning. U can set how often backups will happen daily/weekly/monthly and how many are kept, doing backups manually is an option too. also you can set what folders to include, exclude and all that good stuff.
Out of all the possible Git choices, they chose one of the worst options. I am very curious about the reasoning for that. Could have been a Mozilla-hosted Gitlab instance, or something else like Gitea
Especially lately, incredibly poor performance, and constant outages. Plus if you’re an owner of a private repository, I don’t want them to train their asshole AI based on my code, without my knowledge
At least when it comes to Git I'm not too concerned. What could MS possibly do to you? Maybe vendor lock in via the issue tracker? They aren't using it and it's not exactly that hard to migrate off of it in the first place.
I used GNOME with no extensions for about 5 years. Recently I started using a window tiling extension but that’s only for for convenience, I wouldn’t say it’s fixing anything that is broken.
