I'm really surprised more people are not using Codeberg for there Git repo.

I am not really a coder and only recently started using Codeberg pages to host my static blog site.

But even I found it easy to use Codeberg, I even became an active financial member so I can support the project.

Why did more projects not look for alternatives when Microsoft bought Github ?

@ncopa Hi Natanael, thanks for such an excellent Distro, I use it as a desktop OS with XFCE which is perfect. I have a quick question , do you think the project could setup a discourse forum in place and/or as well as IRC as a source of help ? A lot of distros rely on the community helping each other with small issues via forums instead of the project developer having to. I know its a small team , so it may not be possible to maintain.

I'm interested to change my default Firefox browser for another of its forks which one do you use?

Currently I use Firefox with extensions like Ublock origin etc on my laptop and fennec on my GrapheneOS phone. But I would be open to suggestions for android as well.

@mullvadnet

I have been using your VPN for almost a year now. It's been amazing!!

I currently I have it running through the Mullvad client on my Debian machine and through the Wireguard client on my latest Alpine Linux install.

Do you think you might support APK packages ? I know your a small team, so It might not be an option.

I installed Alpine Linux today on a spare laptop , it took all of 30 minutes and installed without a single issue. I always thought, Alpine was more for containers and servers , but with plasma installed as the DE, it works beautifully as a Desktop.

I've always been intrigued by Alpine Linux and now Openwrt has started using Alpine's package manager , maybe I'll trial it for longer and see how it goes.

Still on the fence whether I should switch to Sid, everything works so well on stable with flatpaks I'm not sure I need it , especially with an XFCE DE, that doesn't change much. Maybe I'll switch when cosmic is in the Debian repo 🤔

So I'm back on Debian as my laptop OS and it feels a little like coming home , my first ever Linux distro was Debian and I can't believe how far its come.

Rocking XFCE again also, as cosmic DE was still a little too buggy for daily use, although it was pretty good for an alpha release.

I'm also considering switching my server back to Debian also , but that's a job for another day!
