The original developer is trying to do things slowly and stay with older versions of the dependencies, while the author of the fork is of the opinion that the dependencies should be updated to the latest versions and take advantage of their capabilities (such as performance improvements) which does not necessarily please the original author.
In addition, new features are implemented in the fork that are not present in the original project, because the author of the fork is pushing for rapid development (which doesn't mean it's a bad thing)
The author of the fork declares 100 percent compatibility with the original project's database. As you move, the database structure will be changed (new fields will be added) to be compatible with the fork, but it will still also be compatible with the original project (which simply will not use these new fields).
I used conduwuit for a long time and it seemed very stable. Now I don't host my server anymore because my friend hosts his own server and lets me use it, so I have an account on his server.
It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...
Windows Recall, part of Microsoft's new Copilot+ PC initiative, has sparked major privacy and security concerns.
The feature uses AI to capture and store screen data locally, allowing users to search for past activities using natural language.
Despite assurances that data is not uploaded to the cloud or used by Microsoft, user trust is lacking.
Microsoft has a history of practices that have eroded user trust, including obtrusive ads, ignoring user preferences, and requiring Microsoft Accounts.
Users are skeptical, fearing future misuse of the collected data for advertising or AI training.
Windows Recall reportedly stores data unencrypted, making it vulnerable to access by third-party apps and potential malware.
The open nature of Windows amplifies these risks, unlike more secure systems like iOS and Android.
Users have compared Windows Recall to spyware, with many threatening to switch to other operating systems like Linux or Mac.
Microsoft's attempts to keep the development of Windows Recall secret did not help build trust.
Windows Recall will only be available on new Copilot+ PCs, requiring specific hardware not present in existing PCs.
Users will have the option to disable the feature, but there are concerns about it being enabled by default.
Despite security issues, the feature is effective in helping users find lost or forgotten data.
It could improve productivity if trust and security concerns are resolved.
Users have the right to choose the Linux distribution that best suits their needs. Different Linux distributions offer different features and user experiences. To downplay these differences and claim that all distributions are the same is ignorant. Anyone who wants to get the most out of Linux should be aware of the wealth of options available.
It's like buying shoes - if someone says they're too tight, you can say, “You picked the wrong size, lol.” Each pair of shoes is different in many ways.
So, if you can't understand that different Linux distributions provide different experiences, it's better for you to stick with Windows, which offers a uniform experience, and not argue about it.
In all honesty, you should decide between Debian and Fedora. If you're new to this, stay away from Arch Linux, Gentoo, or Manjaro. Simplicity is key. The two systems I mentioned are known for their reliability, so you should be fine with either one.
Indeed, I use VSCodium on my Fedora system every day, but since the question was about VSCode, I provided information specifically related to VSCode.
Debian rigorously tests its packages over an extended period before they are released in the official version, ensuring a very stable system. This approach means the software is generally older, but it's been thoroughly vetted. Fedora, on the other hand, provides newer software while still maintaining a good level of stability.
On the other hand, Arch Linux — and its sub-distributions like Manjaro and Gentoo — releases software much more quickly, sometimes almost immediately which can kill your system during updates. I'd go so far as to say that Arch Linux is less stable than Windows.
TL;DR: If you don't want to find out five minutes before an online meeting that your system won't boot — avoid Arch Linux.
