DNF can be kinda slow
Fedora is owned by Red Hat, which is owned by IBM, which is American and also assisted the Axis powers during WWII.
SELinux was created by the NSA. I know it's FOSS, but I don't feel I can trust any three-letter agency.

I never really got on with Slackware, but I might give it another shot...

[Solved] Suggestions for my next distro (self.linux)

I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I'm having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.

However, the reason I'm asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it's connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.

I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?

EDIT: I went for Debian, as well as running fwupd, and it's all working now. Thanks!

MSN doesn't work in IronFox whatsoever in c/[email protected]

In case you're wondering, no I don't use MSN. I was linked to that page from a Lemmy post.

Alternatives for each of Proton's tools? in c/privacy

I stopped using Bitwarden. Unless I'm mistaken, they were about to start doing some closed-source stuff.

There's every possibility that IronFox's hardening is to blame for this, but that fact that the site doesn't work at all is disgraceful.

If you must:

Proton Mail/Calendar ➡️ Posteo, Tutanota, Mailbox.org
Proton Drive ➡️ Tresorit, Nextcloud, Filen, Syncthing, MEGA
Proton Pass ➡️ KeePass
Proton VPN ➡️ Mullvad VPN, IVPN, Windscribe
Proton Wallet ➡️ Cake Wallet, Electrum

Some of these don't have first-party mobile or desktop clients, so here are some apps to use them with:

Posteo & Mailbox.org - Thunderbird (desktop, Android), FairEmail (Android), Evolution (Unix-like), Geary (Unix-like), Claws Mail (desktop), Fossify Calendar + DAVx^5^ (Android)
KeePass: KeePassXC (desktop), KeePassDX (Android), KeePassium (iOS)
