    Kubuntu is ok for a new person on linux?

    Yes

    I want to install apps/programms via flatpak, since this looks more easily for a newbie as me and because of the sandbox, which seems is good (?).

    you can do that on any distro. Should be easy to install.

    Other question I have, is about some apps i want to install if i dont find it or just find it on github or something similar. I find an app that really like but this app dont appear in any store, and this app is only available on github via flatpak and .deb . In this case, since the app is not available on flathub or diskover, or via command lines

    Thats why after 3years of debian/kubuntu I switched to arch. But that doesn’t mean anything. Just do kubuntu for now and if you have troube installing something ask the community and they will help you get it installed.

    And, btw, if you can give me some tips and advice as linux/kubuntu newbie, it would be amazing for my journey.

    The best tip for me was to read: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian (Since Kubuntu is Debian based, this still applies)





  • I see plenty of posts here, on the kde matrix, on the kde forums, on the bugtracker asking for non existing features.

    I have no clue about the exact percentages, their motivations or feelings, so it’s hard to conclude anything.

    Personally, I more often ask for nonexistent features (and i feel no barriers there) than turning off something that is on by default - which is a good sign I guess?




    • People buy njalla domain.
    • Start to do illegal stuff on domain.
    • Njalla gets legal complaint.
    • Since njalla doesnt know your personal info, all they can do is shut down the domain
    • People cry that they were “scammed” by njalla for “no reason”
    • Sometimes in these kind of posts, when you pry long enough they admit to doing something illegal (which they think is fine, like pirated media sharing).

    I have my personal website domain and some selfhosted stuff on subdomains on a njalla for over 5 years. Never had any issues cause none of what I do is illegal.

    On the budget side there is:

    raspberry pi + usb RAID enclosure that can spin down the harddrive (I used icybox in the past)

    Instead of a pi, it is also interesting to look at mini PCs like N97 or N100 which are super cheap nowadays, about the same as a rpi5 if you consider whats included / what addons you’d have to buy for the pi. Mini PC have more RAM, a build in nvme, a way beefier CPU. But their power efficiency is way worse.

    Depends on how much horsepower you need or how energy efficient you want to be.
