Fedora Silverblue has some issues: They use their own flatpak repo, which only includes packages that satisfy Fedora’s free software guidelines.
In practice this means that the Firefox it comes with doesn’t have the necessary codecs to stream porn video on all streaming sites smoothly.
When you add the flathub repo, you now have a selector for all packages available in both where you have to choose if you want the Fedora or the Flathub version. This would be confusing for your grandparents. Also, when I tried it, it was buggier than I’m used to. Sometimes the software center locked up, or failed to install things on the first try, or update.
Even the entire system locked up sometimes, which really shouldn’t happen on an atomic distro at all.

The alternative would be to call the cops, who would say “we can’t do anything as long as nothing has happened”.
Personally I’d call the nearest Antifa group.

It’s not necessarily a contradiction. Lots of people now trust a “fellow man” to make a judgement on who deserves death more than the state.
So they aren’t against killing “evil” people, they just don’t agree with the state’s definition of “evil”, or deny its right to decide that.

Basically, it’s the premise of Batman: When the state has failed to deliver justice, the people turn to vigilante justice.

Lemmy started as tankie safe-haven, and those memes are all over, not just on lemmy.
So I’d say, no.

The general philosophy behind it.
Ubuntu started out as Debian with some improvements.
Once they were established as the primary Linux distro, they pivoted to an MS-like approach. They tried to invent and implement their own solutions for things that an agreed-upon solution already existed, and was in need of manpower to iron out the kinks (best example is developing Mir instead of throwing their weight behind Wayland, or creating Unity instead of improving Gnome).
They also tried again and again to monetize their OS, which they built on top of millions of volunteer work hours from the Debian project.

All of these efforts failed so far. Their current “we can do it better” project is Snaps, which again duplicates volunteer work instead of contributing to Flatpak which was there before.
I’m willing to admit this one does make sense, since their goal is to make an OS where everything except the kernel and the init system is a snap, something which you can’t do with flatpak.
But I’m also pretty sure that’ll fail again.

If they simply built an OS with a Debian base, newer packages, 2 releases per year, an LTS every 2 years, and a GUI selector for Gnome or KDE in the installer, they’d be the perfect beginner distro. On the other hand, then they wouldn’t make any money.

one + is enough actually, unless you’re making fun of the concept of inclusion.

It’s like aerial defense against carrier pigeons.

So they shouldn’t pay their bills, do their taxes, work?
You can’t live without using a computer anymore.

Lennart Poettering: “Not so fast”

So straight people get blood for free since they can donate, but gay people, chronically ill people and drug addicts don’t, because they aren’t allowed to.

Here’s the thing: I don’t know about this charity in particular. But in general, a big charity is just as complicated a business as a big for profit company.
The task of managing it isn’t any easier. So the people who have experience in managing big businesses can get that kind of money elsewhere, too.
In our system, the charity is pretty much forced to pay competitive CEO salaries if they want experienced people at the helm.
If they paid much less, they wouldn’t get anyone to do the job who’s actually competent.

Mint with default KDE would be the perfect beginner distro.

So when you met, you were 20 and he was 73?

Actually, he gives out (cooled, sparkling) water for free cause he says that’s a human right.

Yeah the alternative would be to rely on POS software, which must be insanely frustrating to a dev.

CPUs work faster with better cooling.
So at 0K they are infinitely fast.

I tried Emacs once a long time ago, and recoiled from the weird key combos. Especially how you have to first enter one combo and then a second one for what you actually want to do.
My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember it feeling pretty clunky.

Yes, about 30% of the purchase price of every game.

When both are free of cost, I prefer food delivery over cooking myself.
I just use Debian with the barest minimum installation needed to get flatpak running.

The thing with Ubuntu is: Every single one of their releases since 2008 had a “I wish they’d drop this” thing.
What people want is a preconfigured Debian with newer packages and non-free Codecs.
But that’s not what Canonical wants. They use Debian as base to build off of its millions of volunteer work-hours, but very much try to commercialize and monetize their product.
