Drito

Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

I did so many shit on my PC, I don't remember an interesting one. Generally that was during a distro install.

Maybe because Suse company wants to make business in USA.

UEFI looks like another over-complicated proprietary shit that make PC more and more locked.

I installed Arch on a disk without erasing the /home partition that cames from a previous distro. It saves me some config work, and a bit of disk life expectancy I guess.

My OS, shipped with the PC, became slow.

Arch because the packages are recent. Arch has no shiny innovation and even the performance is not that fast, but I always find a way to make everything working. It is the only distro like that for me.

Sorry I edited my post, I was wrong.

.config stores many apps settings. But unfortunately some apps stores that directly in ~ as hidden files and directories. Personnally I make a backup of my whole home.

There is a pacman command that prints the list of all packages installed by users. I don't remenber the command sorry but you'll find that here:

Its probably "pacman -Qe".

Then it should be easy to create a script that install all that automaticcally. If your are cautious you should have a backup of your home anyway on some storage device .

These tentacular megacorporations are a problem. Amazon is OK as a merchant, MS as an OS developer, Google as a search engine... If they do vertical integration the market is corrupted.

This is useful for proprietary software.

Its frustrating because Alpine gave me the fastest desktop. I dropped Alpine because some apps requires Glibc extensions !
