So many factors.
Sellers may have sat on the sidelines when rates went up and sales went down. As inventory climbs, pressure grows and prices come down. Declining prices can scare sellers who come off the sidelines before prices come down further. Rates and prices coming down brings back buyers which drives up prices. Which forces dominate in any given month? For how long? No easy answers in advance.
Historically, that is not always true and very market dependent.
If you do try Haiku, use Falkon as the web browser. You will have a much better experience than the other Haiku browser options.
If you are a low-end Linux enthusiast, I would also recommend the Trinity desktop. Just as MATE is a continuation of GNOME 2, Trinity is a modern version of KDE 3. I was quite surprised how light and functional it is.
If you want to give it a shot in a VM, the Q4OS distro includes it as a default DE option. If you really want to be impressed what can be done with little RAM, try the 32 bit version of Q4OS.
What do you think of Thunar? I know it is part of XFCE but I think it would fit in well on MATE.
MATE is a bit heavier than XFCE.
I don’t love the default XFCE look but the default in distros like EndeavourOS or CachyOS are awesome. It is like a totally different DE.
I am not sure how I feel about it but there seems to be some resistance in the GTK world. Desktops like Cinnamon,MATE, and XFCE have said they are going to stick with GTK3. Mint has proposed a common suite of GTK3 apps called Xapps that would maintain GTK3 versions of some of the applications that GNOME has pulled to GTK4.

One of the best things about the GTK world was that you had a choice of DEs but got the same universe of “native” applications with any of them. Sadly, it seems that there may now be GNOME and “other GTK” DE universes. On the plus side, there will be a haven for those that want off the GNOME train without as much “left behind” feel as MATE users have had.
It is likely a parody of the fact that the incoming Trump administration has missed a deadline to file an ethics statement. Elizabeth Warren has called them out on it.
Liberal critics are frustrated that Trump got elected and the thing that the Dems are complaining about is that Trump did not file the appropriate paperwork.
Feels very similar to me.
This will all be posted on Info Wars soon.
The funniest thing about The Onion buying Info Wars is that I can see a good chunk of the audience continuing to get their news there and not realizing that anything has changed.
Um, it is fast and light?
United Linux - the famous Red Hat Enterprise Linux killer!
Much more stable but much, much older packages at some point. Can you tolerate that?
It is a lot easier these days as Distrobox and Flatpak offer great escape hatches to get newer software when you really need it.
Some of us fiddle with the base OS more than we should. In many ways, I think using something that changes less often is a great idea.
One great thing about RHEL is the documentation. First Red Hat themselves make great stuff. Then there are mountains of third-party materials. Finally, since it changes slowly, whatever issues you are facing have probably been seen before by others and what you find about it on the Internet will still apply.
