Wer hat uns verraten?

The most famous one is probably PayPal. But I assume for people who are privacy focused, that would be not the first choice.

There is Curve Pay, but I know nothing about it besides the fact that it exists.

Samsung Pay exists, but it only works on Samsung devices and therefore is not really an alternative in this case.

And then there are some regional options. Here in Germany are same banks that offer their own payment apps, most famously the Sparkassen. I heard there are also some Indian and east Asian payment apps, but I don’t know much about them.

Contactless payments does not need to be Google Pay. There are alternatives.

My guess is, that they will offer a new Thinkphone model with GraphenOS to target business customers.

But of course I don’t know it, just guessing.

This is the way.

Clem, the lead dev of the Cinnamon project, wrote in the last blog post, that they only need to migrate the cinnamon screensaver from X11 to Wayland and that this is the last piece for full Wayland support. See https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4991

Seems like the upcoming Mint release will fully support Cinnamon with Wayland, even if X11 might still be the default.

I had issues with Solaar detecting my devices when plugging the dongle in a USB hub in the past, even when the connected devices worked. Maybe you can try to connect the dongle to another port, in best case directly on the Notebook or PC mainboard, just to make sure that this is not the issue.

This being said, it works for me on even with a USB hub on a freshly installed Fedora on a new PC.

Super important. I do also choose a DE first and look for a distro that supports it out of the box second.

This being said, while I think Gnome looks amazing, it’s whole UX is killing me. I tried it over and over again, because it looks so beautyful. But it always starts to frustrate and annoy me.

I was ling term Cinnamon user and recently switched to KDE Plasma. Luckily, as Linux users we have a choice.

Yeah, but this sub is called buyeuropean, not boycottUSA.

How is Roborock european?

It’s a more than 4 years old blog post.

I can’t tell much about the things that the writer complains about. But concerning Cosmic: I think a new additional DE is a win. People who like it can use it, others can skip it. More variation means more choice.

Personally: I find Cosmic still a bit barebone. It is very fast. It think it looks quite good (besides their wallpapers). It’s not yet there, where it needs to be for me to use it as a daily driver, but I find it impressive what System 76 released in their first final version.

Gnome is the most beautyful DE in my opinion, but I find it’s UX absolut horrible. I hate usining it without quite some extensions and I do absolutely not use it. Look at it, yeah. But using it is not intuitive at all for me.

Luckily, there are other DE’s I like. That’s the beauty about Linux.
