I did not say people immediately get that GrapheneOS is a secure phone OS just from the name. Adding “OS” to its name does not make it less obscure.

Do you really think anyone would see the name “postmarketOS” and right away think this is a Linux distro for phones? Perhaps the “-OS” part gives it away that it’s some kind of OS, but so are a lot of projects that end with “-OS”.
For example: ReactOS, RedoxOS, ChibiOS, MicroOS, TempleOS. Can you really look at any of these names without knowing beforehand and tell what it is about?

Doesn’t bittorrent have a more agnostic torrent search?

You doomscroll because you’re bored and have nothing to do.
I doomscroll because I can’t find what I’m looking for.
We are not the same.

For that, I’d recommend Linux Mint.

336·2 months agoWhat is this, a Monty Python skit? How the fuck are they gonna come with a consensus with all these choices?
There’s really just choices 1 & 2. The rest are just elaboration. And what the fuck is even ‘none of the above’?
Really, there’s just ‘yes’ and ‘no’. If it’s a ‘yes’, there would certainly be condition, which can come later. If it’s a ‘no’, who give a shit why; it’s a vote, not a fucking book club. They can definitely put the reason in the comment, but do they really need to put the reasons as the choice?
