What features are you referring to?

You answered this question in the reply already.

Are you one of those with a raging hateboner towards everything immutable? I ask this as I don't see any reason to bring this up in the first place.

I meant that I support this distro as long as it's not immutable because I'm an opponent of immutability on the desktop. If they're also making other kinds of systems, immutability may be beneficial there.

When people oppose innovation for whatever reason, it always reminds me of Henry Ford's famous quote: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

Sometimes innovation is bad or rushed (such as removal of X11 on Fedora). Often only people with the newest hardware can benefit from it anyways. They don't care about regular users making the products worse for them which is basically egoism. There is a reason for proprietary products having legacy support after all.

Are we actually going to get GIMP 3.0 before GTA 6?

They claim to have a lot of features. I hope they succeed (as long as it's not immutable). Alpine-based distros are definitely not something common.

It really makes a difference in some cases. Idk how noticeable it is on overpriced criminal-exclusive flagship CPUs but on mine it is noticeable.

Imo the bcachefs drama is the fault of those who let the definitely not ready file system into the kernel builds. The developer is just making a file system and major updates that break stuff are to be expected on the current stage of development.

I didn't mention Windows because I don't remember any serious workstations using it. PCs did become good enough but it still wasn't the professional workstation level. Though if we're talking about computing in general, Windows has been the king ever since 95 or even 3.0.

Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?

Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it's not their competitor at all.

Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It's always been private.

Way to go, Smith!

The "right to preserve fertility" is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I'd say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it's a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don't have.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

It's not really complicated. It's called "pushing not ready software to production".

What's the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

Hmm it could've been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

I installed Debian at least 3 times and don't remember ever seeing that message.

How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.

The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I'm really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.

Well I personally think having to read documentation ,manually set up sudoers and add repos is worse for the first impression than installing a distro that mostly just works.
