Considering most proprietary software companies are moving to web technologies, I call bs on your take, sounds like you’re still mentally stuck in 2015.

Universal Blue might be what you’re looking for. It’s a Fedora-based distribution based on ostree (same stuff for Silverblue/Kinoite). It has the leading edge system components of Fedora with the reliability of flatpak and ostree updates. I truly consider ostree to be the future of the Linux desktop.

I don’t really buy that considering how passionate people are about that game. Just because it’s now free software doesn’t mean you have to accept contributions.

A copyleft license would prevent copycats and a trademark would distinguish the original from other compiled binaries a la Firefox or Rust.

Counterpoint, Thunderbird received millions in donations when it was on the brink of death.

At least when he retires it will finally be available that’s better than most games (esp. those built on nonfree game engines and assets)

What a fragile person, literally makes a lightist jab at a known enemy of free software and now you’re pissing and shitting yourself.

But no, your billion dollar corporation needs defending from you. Get real.

Whatever you say, at least I’m not the one advocating for people to install spyware from any Tom, Dick and Harry that claims it will “fix cheating”

The other solution is to simply not play those games. It’s bad enough that the game itself is nonfree, but if it has DRM/relies on a nonfree network service then it should be ostracized.

But those things require having a spine, so I doubt you’d like them.

Yeah no thanks I don’t think companies should hand out rootkits to unsuspecting users.

Of course this is capitalist laziness that will envelop the entire proprietary games industry, the only way to kick out cheaters is better net code and actually scaled moderation, but those things cost money and maintnence (as well as dedicated playerbase).

To think otherwise is to boot lick these multi-million dollar corporations.

Taiwan will be red, either by accepting the CPC and reunifying or by allowing themselves to be a proxy for Washington’s war with communism and declaring their meaningless independence.

Keep telling yourself that as the US slowly crumbles and destroys itself to satisfy the whims of a few capitalists at the top.

The East is still Red and the West is doing high octane copium.

Fedora KDE, if you want extra packages you can check RPMFusion, copr, Nix/Guix and Flatpak.

Arch (and also EndeavourOS) expect the user to be able to troubleshoot and solve problems themselves and also customize things as they want. You have the highest amount of freedom, but also the most responsibility.

Common China W. Americans literally dying as a nation day by day while China becomes the guardian of the world. Century of humiliation.

Guess the capitalism didn’t pay off?

100% correct about what? That people trying to offer different bits of advice/explanations are driving people away? Even if some of the advice is not the best/contradict one another, it’s still support being given to another user.

Comments like these don’t say or do much of anything. They just finger wag and scold people for not being the “100% best Linux representative” they can be. Believe it or not, people who are in Linux communities aren’t a monolith of perfect technological wisdom and understanding.

My problem isn’t even with the basis behind the comment which I actually somewhat agree with. It’s just framed in a cowardly way that obnoxiously blames community members for driving people away.

So yes comments like these are useless and the people who make them are lazy.

This comment here is a prefect example of being unhelpful and inflammatory.

You added nothing to the conversation but instead tried to be “clever” by doing the same tired old “angsty Linux vs. Windows shtick” that’s been around for as long as GNU/Linux was a thing.

Other people at least offered an explanation or suggestion.

Systemic complexity has doubled in the last two years

“If wayland is so great why can’t I run /usr/bin/wayland???” 😎

I always carry with me a USB live environment of Linux Mint with me, it’s been a lifesaver in some situations when my wifi card stopped cooperating for whatever reason.

Also good for showcasing Linux Mint to other people.

Yes, I read all specs before installing anything I ever use.

It’s literally in the front page of the project. https://guix.gnu.org/

Hackable. It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) to define packages and whole-system configurations.

No idea how you survive Nix’s scattered documentation.

lmao.

That’s a bit disingenuous wording as modern hardware that can run without proprietary firmware is an absolute rarity at this point.

But it’s not impossible, nor is it something that can’t be solved in the future with CPU architectures like RISC-V.

The project should have really kept the GuixSD name. Much clearer separation and also sounds a lot better.

Agreed.

package managers who attempt to sweep nonfree software under the rug and try to make the issue invisible.

I should have been more clear, excluding nonfree blobs were widely decided to be a lost cause across the distribution space. The final being Debian very recently. Tbh I do sometimes wish that Guix took the Nix approach with hardware-configuration.nix, but the fact remains is that the Guix maintainers do not wish to maintain nonfree packages and I respect that decision as Guix doesn’t go out of its way to prevent others from installing the nonfree blobs/packages themselves.

To give a non-politial example, imagine someone who made a post explaining why they like Windows better than Linux.

You’re just projecting. People have already made posts like these and they have always led to very heated discussions because news-flash: Windows and Free operating systems are very political topics that invite a lot of discussion.

You can try booting into a live environment of Mint and checking to see if the WiFi works there. I found that booting into a live environment can fix the Wifi issue.

Guile Scheme is the official extensions language for the GNU Project. Guile and Guix’s history often intersect as Guix is seen as the shining poster child of Guile and contributes to a lot of Guile’s development.

When you say “Scheme” you should also refer to what type of Scheme you’re referring to as there are multiple with different feature sets/goals.
