  • When installing gnome using apt it should prompt you at some point which display manager (aka login screen) you want to use. Just choose the one that’s not gdm and your login screen wont change. Generally its easy to install a new desktop. Just do “sudo apt install the_desktop_environment” and change the chosen desktop environment on your login screen when logging in (there should be some slider or button for that).












  • -> Nestlé (obviously)

    -> Nintendo, despite their friendly appearance and their quality games they are one of the worst game companies of all time. They openly spit in the face of their fans and persecute anyone trying to make something good out of their creations (Melee, Pokemon uranium) or breaking their DRM filled proprietary walled garden (looking at gary bowser). Im a huge pokemon fan but i only play on emulators or foss projects like showdown so as to carefully not give them anything.

    -> Amazon literally the devil and symbol of exploitation/over consumerism, never forgetting the working conditions of their employees in my country and everywhere else.

    -> Tencent, Lenovo, Oneplus, Huawei, and all the others. Obvious.




  • That’s exactly the problem with blink (chromiums rendering engine) based browsers. They help google build a monopoly and slowly take over the whole browser market which allows them to do stunts such as their recent web integrity API. We are at a point where a crushing majority of browsers (even libre/privacy ones) and users use it and websites only care about blink/chromium compatibility and there is little room for engines like gecko or even webkit.
