Now you can have any colour you want, but they have mandatory LEDs embedded in every peripheral a d they no longer sell opaque cases.

The XZ thing was almost certainly some nation state actor, imo.

That’s exactly why I run Linux. If you want something that just keeps running the basically the same way for like 20 years, that’s your option.

That was a plot point in Cryptonomicon. And yeah the XFree86 docs mentioned it too…

I like ls -lart

Yeah, you’d need some graph analysis. Bots will all simultaneously upvote certain things, and over time a pattern should emerge.

Lotta small businesses out there.

If it was sold at a loss, businesses would scrape the whole supply and pave them for windows desktops.

Nebula is pretty great.

Yeah, actually. The proprietary drivers unfortunately.

Consider not responding with all the reasons someone’s lived experience is impossible in future.

I’m glad you’re here to tell me how my experience the last 30 years was. Thank you for enlightening me as to how my choices were wrong and how I was silently suffering.

I gamed on Debian. I was so wrong.

Bit of selection bias.

Car shops are full of cars that have problems. Why would you be at a shop if you didn’t? Same with forums.

News to me. I’m running GloriousEggroll with proton 10…

That really was not my experience. I didn’t game much. WoW mostly. Some StarCraft. Minecraft. Online games. Debian unstable worked fine and I don’t think I had to compile my own kernel (for gaming) at any point past 2005 or so.

I’ve always enjoyed the tinkering. My gaming habits pretty much grew up with WINE. DXVK was very exciting!

Never been a stranger to compiling my own kernel or mucking about with DLL overrides.

Consistent branding over multiple decades!

I’m okay with it.

Debian since 1998. No reason to change.
