I'm still in the fase of exploration. When using Windows, you just have 1 choice. I just want to discover what suits me best. So nothing against Linux Mint. It's great, but maybe OpenSuse is better for me? I don't know.

THANK YOU ALL for your replies. I'll do a clean install and made a backup of my files (was not difficult bc most stuff I have in the cloud). I'm moving indeed from Mint to OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I don't know exactely why, but it seems to me an interesting thing to do. Still figuring out what distro fits me best.

If we want to achieve adoption by the "main stream" consumer market we have to make sure that the Linux distro is absolutely idiot-proof. In the mind of many people, Linux is for IT-nerds and it's difficult to change a way of thinking. You'll have to prove it with: 1. Reliability (f.e. support of the EU); 2. Influencers who say that Linux is OK; 3. A Linux distro that is effectively proving that it can work idiot proof. Otherwise Linux is dead on arrival to become mainstream.

In the past, Tesla lawyers even initiated lawsuits against customers who dared to criticize the quality of their cars or services. Such cases are documented and therefore not fake news. Last week, moreover, DOGE dismantled the department responsible for safety control and approval of new cars entering the market. Tesla experienced too many problems with this department in the past and now, through DOGE, took the opportunity to simply dismantle it. Moral of the story... buy a Tesla, a “safe” decision.

Is Bluesky the next X ??? Kissing the ring of authoritarian leaders?

The title is misleading. "Some Swiss companies are using the Europe label." Yes, Switzerland is part of Europe, but not part of the EU. But... you're welcome to join the EU as a full member.

It's hypocrit. They don't want to be in the EU because they are "so called neutral", but now the suddenly are using the EU logo because it suits them. Don't get me wrong: I would like to have SUI into the EU, but then they have to go for the full package and not illegaly clame they are EU, while the're not.

That's OK. You don't have to say something about my post. I just wanted to inform you all that on Lemmy there are also haters, keyboard warriors or people that are so depressed that they can't see anything positive in a post, a question or a reply.

Well @Leraje, that's exactely what has happend to me. I asked a simple question in another community and get bashed by some people just like you would expect on some other social. Then I said: "I'm out of here" and I unsubscribed and blocked the community. Just to say that there are dipheads here too.

How are things going in the UK right now?

OK. I'm out of this conversation. Nothing can be a positive outcome of this conversation. So I admit: The European Union is working on the behalf of China, with a hidden authoritarian agenda who wants to make all EU citizens helpless peasants. All actions the EU are taking are not real. They just want to screw us up. I'm moving to the US. Maybe I'll be better off. (note: sarcasm)
