Deciding Linux isn’t for you is one thing. Even deciding that you hate Linux is… Digestible. But what kind of internal self esteem and validation issues do you need to unironically participate in a community called “Linux sucks”?
Hating Linux is one thing. Putting in extra effort to justify to everyone that Linux is hate-able is a different kind of crazy.
Is explicit sync for nvidia in yet?
Which is great that we’re not talking about groups of people, but national lines on a map
We are actually talking about a group of people - banned from contributing to open source for being Russian. Read the post again before embarrassingly framing your sentences like a smartass.
Can you use your own words to demonstrate why my argument isn’t convincing? What’s not convincing is throwing around the word “whataboutism” and thinking that’s an argument.
No it isn’t. Read the comment I replied to.
What definition of race are you going by?
Oxford dictionary: “a group of people who share the same language, history, culture, etc.”
Merrian Webster dictionary: "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry
Also: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background"
Are you really still using debunked race science concepts in 2024?
Just because you group people based on a different construct does not mean you aren’t racist. What’s next, islamophobia is okay too?
So shouldn’t this also include the US and the many countries (most of Western Europe, plus others) involved in coalitions bombing the middle east and elsewhere?
What does a programmer need?
This doesn’t seem to be something a distro can solve beyond making it possible to install this stuff.
Maybe the closest is nixos, because it allows a lot of flexibility in setting up different development environments that are fully reproducible. Gentoo is also close, as it allows the same but in a different way (without the extent of reproducible guarantees).
What can systemd do that cannot be done with OpenRC?
Two questions:
Sure, the alternative init systems don’t provide non init functionalities, but other software probably does.
Not how I understood it. Rather, there are alternatives that have potential to be better than systemd, but systemd has the unfair advantage of receiving the funding and manpower.
If alternatives had equal manpower, they may have had better success than systemd.
Don’t entirely discount a project only because it is funded by the US government. Do take that as a big yellow flag, but not auto reject. Better to just asses the project for what it is with caution.
I find it much more likely that the US government has a huge interest in giving the public access to secure communication software that would be unbreakable by surveillance from a typical government. Why? Because those are the governments that are enemies of the US, and where the US is interested in regime change. And the existence of this software is much more influential towards regime change in those countries, rather than being threat to the US.
In fact, these softwares are barely a threat to the US. The US has no issue with them existing because they have such a powerful hold on their state.
What does Google play do to remediate it?
Couldn’t you do that by just joining an existing server?
What’s the benefit? You listed some minor things like ZFS and systemd, but is there a major benefit?
Also, can’t you do that with Linux? I use openRC on gentoo.
I’ve heard BSD people criticize Linux ecosystem as “fractured”, and this discourages me from BSD. I see Linux ecosystem as one that grants you choice, and I love that. This criticism gives me the impression that BSD takes that away, that where will be one standard way to do many things. Maybe I am wrong or misunderstood.
So the OS jellyfin runs on is Alpine?
Oh wow that’s awesome! With containers or on bare metal?
So many distributions impressed me, but I think gentoo, nixos, Guix and Alpine impressed me most. Maybe Zorin with its beautiful design for newcomers.
If I had to pick one, it may be Alpine. The idea of having a fully usable OS with so little is really impressive. It even has a fully functional build system similar to Arch’s ABS (on which the AUR is based)
Gentoo, nixos and Guix are really impressive and make computing a pleasant activity.
Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.
