Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,

I’m still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I’m pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

Thx! 🤍

    Sounds like there was a packaging error which is not the fault of the flatpak mechanism.complain to the packager, not the messenger.

      Limitations surrounding theming (no way to force a theme and flatpak basically just doing a best effort to use the right one, theme needs to be specifically repackaged for the platform, etc) has nothing to do with the packager and everything to do with Flatpak’s sandbox. Same for permissions: running something like an IDE or anything that integrates with other software over Flatpak is just a pain in the ass due to the sandboxed nature.
