There are millions of people out there who do 99% of their stuff in browser, and never need the newest shiniest features for graphics, or gaming or whatever. Plasma 5.27 works great for years. People only get fomo if they follow this stuff constantly. And most people dont. Lemmy/linux is a very niche gathering of nerds

To say that debian is not a good daily driver for most people, i still disagree for the above reasons

I'm not a professional or anything, but i get my basic photo and video editing just fine on debian.

For example, i used to chase all the latest and greatest digikam versions because "ooooh! New features!!"... In hindsight, there was nothing really that groundbreaking each update, and i just go back to using the core features that have been stable for years.

but I wouldn't recommend it on a computer you're actively using

Debian is my daily driver on all my computers. Servers, desktop, laptop. Its called the universal operating system for a reason

Packages are regularly updated with bug fixes for security issues. Do you absolutely need the latest features for every software? Debian is fine unless theres some killer new feature you absolutely need.

Hardware support is mostly fine unless you have the absolute latest hardware (which OP doesnt). And backport kernels should take care of newer hardware

Unfortunate name.... Not sure if chosen on purpose

I am in NO WAY interested in typography AT ALL and i found helvetica to be a super interesting documentary

And the sountrack made me a fan of el ten eleven

You want stable and no snaps.

Debian

This will accelerate riscv adoption and be the end of arm

Or at least their $180B market cap

Meanwhile, millionaire artists didnt dare say one word to speak out against a facist president in the audience, or against genocide.

It's Luigi time!

The irony of these first amendment people targetting the press is that the text of the 1A specifically mentions freedom of the press...

People like to quote the 1A as all about being MY SPEECH

well if people stick to the proper linux way of doing things (official software repos) then that's actually closer to what they are used to doing (apple app store) than just randomly downloading installers off the internet

linux should be a relatively easy switch for most people.

Pure greed. TSMC built tons of capacity since the pandemic, RAM makers have cut back production because of low prices.

There is tons of capacity out there to make more graphics cards, even including all the big data centers using them for AI. but i guess its more profitable to only sell cards to rich gamers and AI companies at inflated prices

I'm really more concerned about the massive e-waste. Linux communities are thriving

We should be using the german loanword "verboten". It's much more accurate in 2025

Doubt.

Yes, many internet nerds will finally switch to linux. Most normies will just throw millions of computers into the trash and buy win11 approved machines.

do you even know what the EFF does?

Also, anyone can get “published”. It means nothing.

you mean like how you publish your comments all over the internet?

The sudden, abrupt ending....

And canadian bacon!

I just watched it for the first time last week...

I guess it was funnier in the 90s...

Yeah but also isnt it kind of insane that stuff get shipped back and forth between windsor and detroit just to add a few more parts each time?

Dude has worked at the EFF for a long time and is a published author. How is he not qualified to speak on copyright and IP?

that metaphor assumes that these tariffs are going to hurt america more than it hurts canada...

i'm pretty sure we're the foot in your analogy. we're getting fucked
