not strictly necessary, no. but so is a lot of what we do today.

it’d be cool.

what font is this? looking good as well.

yeah we’ve all heard that one before.

no closed down walled garden will ever be interesting or versatile

out of curiosity, which directory is this weird thing located in?

“why do people care so much about the possibility of nuclear war? why is this hitler guy so controversial? so disgusting!”

and by a lot, if the latest 5% on steam statistic turns out to be reliable.

tbf shaming can be a good tactic, in some specific situations.

i think linux emphasizes the advantage of being able to fork code without the bad parts in this case.

the problem is they will probably target the infrastructure our linux machines connect through, or the services themselves as we’ve already started seeing.

i’ve been interested in those decentralized long range radio networks lately, for no particular reason.

you are absolutely correct in what you are getting at, i just chuckled when you went like “here’s how they maintain control: they maintain control”

graphene is pretty good, but be careful with cell network triangulation. also careful with what apps you run on it.

recommend them a newbie friendly distro instead though

pipewire was actually the magic end of all my audio issues on all my computers. what kind of setup do you run?

fake. pipewire is actually awesome.

that nagging sleep issue though? yeah…

that happened to me on nvidia when the apt packages auto updated but not the flatpak ones to match the new driver.

that’s the very first thing i thought.

fuck it, do it on that leaked windows codebase to improve wine.

it was kind of a meme for a while in the 2000s that fusion energy was always right around the corner but never actually came. risc-v feels about like that atm.

again, this is well known. you can look into the tor deanonymization attacks.

so one of the reasons distros that update quicker and use newer software are generally considered advanced is because they use brand new less tested software that breaks easier. ie. for enthusiasts looking for all the new shiny features all the time, the best possible performance or easy modularity at the cost of stability.

it’s what i mean when i say you have to accept you need the right tool for the job. newbies who expect and need a stable hands-off experience like you are recommended debian, mint, ubuntu and such for a reason.

don’t worry though, the cool new features and performance will trickle down to you whenever they are ready for wide adoption. and you can be an enthusiast on a boring distro too.
