I’m not going to pretend I’ve been a Linux purist my entire life or anything. The landscape for daily driving desktop Linux was really rough in the time period you described attempting to migrate, but I had Linux laptops assigned to each kid in my school circa 2007 and that ignited my interest in the platform. My father was an enthusiast and build a safe environment for me to experiment as a kid when I otherwise would have been out of my depth. I had a Linux box, usually an Ubuntu derivative, around pretty much continuously from 2012-2017 which would have been pre-uni for me and served as just an environment I could easily play with making small web projects and Minecraft mods and whatnot. But I gamed on windows for most of that time. I think when proton hit I failed to install arch and bounced over to Manjaro which was my main gaming distro untill maybe ~2021 when I got tired of things breaking because of the aur and just migrated to arch using the arch install script came out and I was able to set it up trivially. Since then it’s been pretty much “it just works” level compatibility, there are some niche things about my setup that are a little more complicated like some networked pulseaudio stuff and a bunch of development tools I need for work at this point, but overall I have my wife running fedora on her laptop and using a steam deck in desktop mode at her desk and she generally is able to do her schooling and whatnot without issue. I think the only real program she has issues with is an examination specific browser that she has to use another machine in the house for. I have not daily driven windows for the better part of the last decade and while I definitely have frustrations with no great CAD solution and the antagonistic relationship with publishers like EA and Epic Games, I also just am able to play my friendslop and souls games without any issues at all. I’m sorry you had negative experiences with the community, but it’s kinda weird to direct your negative feelings for the losers that gatekept you at the entire platform, particularly when the platform grossly outsizes this particular niche and it’s through the support of countless open source developers that we have the ability to do anything outside of the scope of Windows spyware or the fenced garden that is MacOS.

If you just want an experience as straight forward as the steam deck I have heard that the move is to just run Bazzite.

The rage bait isn’t even funny anymore lmao, most used OS on the planet btw. Have fun sucking microsoft off I guess

Do you think car enshitification is specific to a particular drive train? Yikes. All cars want your “as a service” money.

Isn’t that guy Gwynn’s son? I can’t remember his proper name, but even if I could be doesn’t use it anymore due to all the dragon murder associated with his father.

Doesn’t exploding require combustion?

What connection do you think a third party is saving when using openid? Generally speaking the only thing the third party needs is your identifier which in most cases is just an email. It’s no more devastating for the user base for that information to be leaked than it is when they’re handling authorization themselves. I personally think using a government backed authorization platform is a terrible idea and something completely liable to be abused by those in power, but it would objectively be better than trying to have every single service store your personally identifiable information themselves.

??? This is just textbook sso/openid but backed by the government. There’s nothing intrinsically insecure about having third parties send you directly to a trusted government site for authorization.

christian is sufficient

Can you share what to search for specifically, or a specific link? My younger sister is type 1 and is really interested

Yeah let’s weaken our political messaging for the camp where acting forces want to feed the latino population to alligators in the name of pedantry! Fuck the fact that most Americans would probably guess Dachau is a cheese or something, and that Auschwitz is certainly the most recognizable of the camps taught from the holocaust, we want to be 5% more correct!

Imagine knowing what people post on Twitter

They’re just riffing off of the description of the post presumably?

Not a Windows user but this was my solution when I was

I don’t want to be an asshole but after checking a couple of those out they all appear to be post-authorization vulnerabilities? Like sure if you’re just passing out credentials to your jellyfin instance someone could use the device log upload to wreck your container, but shouldn’t most people be more worried about vulnerabilities that have surface for unauthorized attackers?

Didn’t they lose a hundred pounds?

I think he maintained git at its inception for like 6 months and then passed it off to someone else, but I could be completely mistaken.

You should check out 4d golf and hyperbolica

This starting half way through made me really worried that I’d started this video before

I feel like whiteboards have gone extinct or something. All of my math lectures from grade school to uni took place on a y-up surface. I can appreciate that there are multiple ways to skin a cat, but I feel like people just argue what’s most convenient for their preference in this kind of situation.
