  • there are no major comprehensive studies that definitively show microplastics are a danger to the body

    I’m not sure what your criteria for “major comprehensive study” is, but there are countless studies linking microplastics to all sorts of things. Most arterial plaques are full of microplastics. The massive drop of male fertility rates (50% globally) has been linked to microplastics. Microplastics have been demonstrated to interfere at the cellular level by mimicking hormones.

    The specifics of everything that they’re doing to us is still unknown. But we know many bad things microplastics definitely are doing.

    We’re WELL past “are microplastics bad?”. We’re at the point of figuring out how badly screwed we are.




  • It uses Universal Blue, whereas Kinoite uses rpm-ostree.

    Aurora has a bit of DE customization, which is arguably more polished.

    It also leans heavily on Flatpack/Flathub.

    The other difference that I’m aware of is Aurora handles updates automatically by default, whereas Kinoite is a manual process.

    To be clear, I haven’t used Kinoite at all. But I have Aurora on a gaming system that I use as a kind of TV gaming console, and I’m setting it up for my elderly parents that get upset when an icon on Windows changes (that’s how tech illiterate they are).
