Hey look, one of these anonymous internet people was insane and became a terrorist. Sure casts a bad light on all of you.

Eh, isn’t that argument more about being greedy for ressources rather than capital in particular? I mean, why did empires conquer stuff?

“That’s neat, I wonder whether I can configure it…”

Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn’t. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.

Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.

Does borg support rclone? Might be an interesting addition to adapt that chain for cloud storage solutions

…Except there are three players in that game already. Go by the names of Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu

You could also buy insanely expensive IBM enterprise hardware. I think they still do PowerPC stuff

Literally never had EndeavourOS break in any way.

Last time might have been the GRUB issue that affected all of Arch. If you use GRUB that is, since it’s not the default on EndeavourOS. Next time might be old package repos being shut off, but only if your install is older, plus there’s already the second announcement with simple instructions regarding that on Arch News. Also, it will just block updates.

I’ve put two people without any prior knowledge on EndeavourOS, didn’t hear any complains either. I myself had no prior knowledge in Linux and hopped from Kubuntu to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to Garuda Linux in short succession. I only switched to EndeavourOS after Garuda repeatedly broke. Been on it for 2 years without an issue I think.

I know this is not a representative study and as a computer scientist, I do grasp things quickly, but I strongly oppose the notion that EndeavourOS is not beginner friendly.

I dunno, I perceive it more as a letft wing term for left-extremist fascists

Terrorists. Israeli terrorists.

Zen and “mainline” (default/vanilla) are generally fine for “desktop use” and gaming. Zen is basically the mainline kernel with some tweaks. They are mostly concerned with latency, reducing the maximum time a process can spend blocking the processor - among other things.

This can lead to less input lag or a “smoother” desktop experience, but overall performance is as good as mainline at most. Slightly worse in some scenarios.

Hardned is a tradeoff afaik. You will stay behind mainline a bit, but get extra hardening. This can also impact performance, but rarely does in a meaningful way. If you don’t have any specific reason to use it, e.g. you carry it around on a laptop with sensitive data, I would look at other ways to harden my system first (firewall, encryption, access control, anti-virus, sandboxing, VPN…).

Pretty much the same goes for LTS, but with the focus more on stability than security.

RT is only for special applications.

Tell me you don’t read news by telling me you don’t read news

It helps a lot when people think you are insane enough to declare war against your country and occupy it to get what you want

I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t care less for what social media apps are available in China. Also banning social media is not censorship

Bruh, you can share the truth on pretty much any way imaginable. Why would you ban one platform, and out of all of them TikTok, to “control the narrative”? Everyone knows what’s going on, there have already been plenty protests because of it, it’s way too late to control anything and maybe most importantly: TikTok offered the US more control and they declined. They straight up proposed to do whatever the hell the government wants if they can stay and it was dismissed.

This guy is just the wildest mixture of things. Pretty much everything you hear is somewhat contradictory. It seems he is just straight up insane - tangled up in trauma, confusion, anger, lies and conspiracy theories

The former acted because he was personally affected by a person supporting exploitation within a liberal system, the latter leads an authoritarian regime that allowed their CEOs to do what they do until they got annoying for whatever reasons.

So if you want to talk objective results here, sure, one of them got a higher kill count. However, who has the moral high ground here is not even up to debate IMO

2-4 I have never had any problems with, file bug reports if you do I guess

I’m not sure what to make of this, but I assume you wanted to say KDE does what it’s supposed if you select the Wayland session. This would lead to my follow-up question: Why not just use it?

Wayland has been the preferred session for KDE since late 5.X
