Twister OS was recommended to us to solve DRM issues. It comes with a selection of Windows and Mac themes, as well as their default XFCE / Gnome hybrid layout.
Twister OS was well packed with a variety of Games, as well as Chromium, Kodi, LibreOffice and custom Raspberry Pi utilities.
Unfortunately, performance wasn’t as good as Lubuntu or Ubuntu MATE.
A lot of reboots were required during the initial configuration.

Three years ago Admiral submitted a DMCA takedown request against EasyList when they included one of their domains.
I’ve found 360 of Admiral tracking domains and I’m puzzling over whether to include it in NoTrack based on Admiral’s previous agression.
Or should I walk away and pretend I never saw anything?

Looking at a news story from ZDNet talking about how many security stories about Linux are blown completely out of proportion. Many recent vulnerabilities only affect very niche insecure setups or years old software.

Not really an ugly duckling, but the first officially supported MX/antiX release with KDE Plasma Desktop.
Comes without Systemd enabled.
MX Linux includes MX Tools for easily tweaking the system and installing some basic applications, along with proprietary codecs.
The addition of a welcome screen, along with a perhaps bulkier selection of pre-installed applications makes this a good KDE distribution for new users.

The Raspberry Pi 4 B has Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 Ports, which allows you to construct a basic NAS (Network Attached Storage). In this tutorial video I show how to install and setup Ubuntu Server on Raspberry Pi and share mounted USB Drives with other Linux and Windows computers with NFS and Samba/SMB respectively.
Although initial tests shows read/write speed to be about 1/3 of what I would have expected from an x86 system.

Looking at the Ubuntu MATE 20.04 Beta image for the Pi 4 is now out. The V3D Graphics Drivers have been enabled, which allows for OpenGL compositing and other processing to be offloaded to the GPU.
Although Lubuntu handled better under heavy loads compared to Ubuntu MATE.

Concluding the week on a high with Lubuntu, which gave us the best desktop experience. I also tested Kubuntu, which performed better than Manjaro ARM KDE, but was still not as responsive as Lubuntu with the LXQt desktop.
Lubuntu 20.04 was not officially released at time of recording. We built it from Ubuntu Server using Desktopify.

Conclusion of Ubuntu MATE 20.04, which worked very well on the Raspberry Pi 4 turning it into a usable desktop computer.
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 was not officially released at time of recording. We were made aware of a script called Desktopify after this recording, which would have improved performance on the Pi 4

Ubuntu MATE 20.04 has transformed the Pi 4 into a usable desktop computer. Performance is reasonable and there are plenty of easy options for customisation.
Ubuntu MATE 20.04 is not officially released yet, so we had to build it from an Ubuntu Server 20.04 image.

Our thoughts so far with the experiment discussing Manjaro ARM KDE and Raspberry Pi OS Pixel.
Both have been a let down in terms of performance for Manjaro and Audio configuration for Raspberry Pi OS.
Miss Quids is trying Ubuntu MATE 20.04 next, which we have tried briefly, and been impressed with performance. Its the first OS that has made the Raspbery Pi 4 feel like a desktop replacement.

I’ve written a Python script to process the DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar JSON files into a usable DNS blocklist. I have split the blocklists into Confirmed, High, Medium and Low Certainty of a domains being related to tracking.
The blocklist can be used as a local hosts file, or added into PiHole.
I will make the list a selectable option in NoTrack v0.9.6

Linux Mint are actively preventing the end user from installing Snapd package manager and Chromium on their system. I can’t understand their reasoning behind the decision, other than they always seem to want to do the opposite to Canonical and Ubuntu.
How to enable snap installation in Mint:

$ sudo apt install snapd
