You can install actual programs, rather than taking up potentially gigabytes per program on flat or increasing update times to 30+ minutes…

Bazzite (or anything ostree) is the worst of all worlds.

PayPal money corrupts, absolutely.

Thiel, Musk and slowly Shuttleworth.

You might be fine with a small potted plant, but yeah they stink.

Why LMDE? Cinnamon is available in the upstream Debian repos…

Hedgehogs Dilemma.

I wish you’d unfix my spacebar heating Cycling through windows of an application by icon on the taskbar multiple times.

It used to endlessly cycle, now it’ll stop after hitting all the windows and clicking it again minimises all and then one more click brings back up all, no more cycling :(

And flatpak.

No it isn’t, since Flatpak itself has a huge amount of upkeep and won’t ever play with your other apps.

AppImage solves the problem “I just want a .exe that runs” - flatpak tries to turn every distro in a Redhat/systemd owned mess.

Whatever happened to tapes offsite?

anything that needs to be performant is inside an unsafe declaration.

‘Memory Safe’

Paying a bunch of marketing people to fly around the world attending conferences that only they go to, to talk about more conferences they’ll be hosting for the same purpose.

‘Corporate Operations’ gets double the budget of the Kernel itself.

Some people are living very well doing absolutely nothing.

If I had to guess, it’ll be released as part of the Steam Machine SteamOS update?

I’ve had more drama getting clean Windows ISOs to install on modern Thinkpads than I’ve ever had issues with Linux.

afaik, it just looks prettier and gets Cinnamon sooner if you use that.

It still has all the normal debian quirks.

ie. “The Gnome Way”* exported to the OS as a whole.

* Strip all features but allow them back as plugins that aren’t supported or secured.

That’s the neat part - You don’t! (unless you want incredibly long update times as every new util is a new overlay!)

The “systemd devs” are anyone with the cashe to contribute to it.

Not really, unless you’re employed by one of the big tech companies contributing to it, your pull requests are piped directly to the shredder, same with xorg, gnome, etc.

You can fork them, but why bother when it’s a mess designed to ensure the employment of its contributors, ‘WallyWare’ if you will.
