Which distro? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Funny, flatpak works on MX, but it kills performance. I launch any flatpak program and it's literally up to five minutes to launch. After re-imaging and using AppImages instead, it's blazing fast. There must be something about the way MX implements flatpaks that screws the pooch.

I've bounced around alot, have numerous distributions on my Proxmox Hypervisor, but my favorite daily driver, for a really old computer, is ( MX Linux ) I've twice tried other distros to see if I could improve upon the stability and performance, as well as the very convenient availability of a feature rich KDE Desktop environment, and I came back to MX twice now. When I get a new fast computer, I'll switch to Qubes OS, for it's built-in hypervisor and security/privacy and isolation features, but until then, I'll stick with MX.

IMHO, there are excellent reasons why MX ranks highest. I think it's original roots in AntiX with the elimination of systemd has afforded it a substantial advantage over stock-standard Debian, my last daily driver which always had performance issues. With MX, on same hardware, system lock ups are far less frequent when the system is overtaxed.

Bastyon: First Fully Decentralized Social Network on Blockchain (bastyon.com)

Guys/Gals,

First off, thanks so much for all that everyone at MoneroTalk does to support liberty.

Telegram, X and other centralized social media platforms are NSA/CIA/FBI Honeypots, so those platforms aren't good for those seeking maximum anonymity. They also have another Achilles heel in common, they all operate using DNS, therefore can be turned off easily by central authorities. I am pleased with the vetting process of this forum, which led me to post this email.

Being crypto-currency enthusiasts with a healthy disdain for centralized authority fits me like a glove, so once I found you guys, it was like coming home. With all of the concerns of what is to come with society, what plans have you made to maintain more secure communications with the Monero Community? I learned about Monero thru Mike Adams channel on Decentralized TV, where I also learned about a new social media platform (Bastyon) conducted entirely on the block-chain, which, once installed, would continue to work after a DNS-driven internet kill switch (IKS) was to take place by those that rule much of the internet. This same IKS would make monero.town impossible to contact, while we'd all be unaffected on Bastyon.

I can appreciate the tendency to avoid other block chains and just wait for the Monero dev community to grow and address this issue, but I don't think this will bubble up as a priority in time for when we might need such a forum, so I was hoping to spark interest in adopting Bastyon or similar projects like Qortal, for all of us to communicate more freely.

Adoption of something like Bastyon, might ease the flow of information for those more sensitive about anonymity.

I'd like you to discuss this topic on an upcoming MoneroTalk.

I'd also appreciate some instruction on how I might join in the live chat so that I could join in on the episode where something like Bastyon is discussed.

Sincerely,
