I wasn’t hit according to the public script but I am definitely rethinking my use of Arch and most certainly refraining from the AUR as much as possible going forward. This is far too many events in such a small period of time for me.

1. Because I like to. 2. Because it still has the best flexibility for packages. 3. I like using cutting edge releases.

It is also extremely overblown just how “hard” arch is. Either way I know a lot more about my system and how it functions now.

Librem 5 is what you’re thinking of

One joke

+1 for thrifted laser. Just look for replacement toner before checking out.

Yeah, I think laser with viable third party cartridges is the actual answer. No matter what brand. Individual model is more important than the brand too, because my Brother was actually still kinda annoying to get working properly.

Inkjet isn’t appropriate for somebody who prints infrequently, especially refillable inkjets, because they dry out even faster than cartridges. Toner is powder and stays good for basically as long as the printer is functional.

It might depend on climate, because I live somewhere semi-arid, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

90% of the complaints I’ve heard about GIMP are just because its UI and workflow are different from whatever tool they’re used to. I like GIMP just fine because I learned on it. I don’t even like using Krita because I feel like it’s 50% gimp with a skin lol

-1 for intel macbooks. Horrible cooling and poor hardware support. Source, I own one.

You have specifically identified why they wanna kill it off.

Maybe it’s not so great how monolithic systemd is, but it has brought a lot of great functionality to the Linux world. Not as if Linux has ever been married to the Unix philosophy anyways.

The GPL already forbids distributing without the source code being available. People who break GPL will break this license too, and they will have even less resources to fight it. I wish people would stop writing their own licenses and just get behind the GPL. There’s already tons of lawyers familiar with it.

No thanks. The 4 freedoms are essential. Everybody using this is going to be shocked when they implement ads and/or sell it.

Linux isn’t a product sold by a company. If they’re still thinking that somebody else is responsible for how they experience their technology they will not have a good time with Linux. You have to be able to take responsibility for your machine, and in our society of learned helplessness, people would rather give up that responsibility for perceived convenience.

Probably schoolwork. I don’t have high computational needs, and these work better than modern Celerons.

This is pointless. Your tax dollars are doing MUCH more for Israel than what products you buy. Boycotts are a capitalist distraction from the real systemic issues.

Microsoft is a monopoly. Stallman was right, as usual in software
