Too many Americans think the rest of the world can afford to think of Individual Americans right now.

The USA is attacking other countries. What individual US citizens think about that is irrelevant unless they can stop him. If they cannot, the rest of us need to treat the US as a single entity and defend against it accordingly.

What we have to realize is that, if this were WWII, the one playing Germany is now the US.

The lesson from WWII was that you do not appease the aggressor. Europe has to oppose the US. It does not matter how difficult that seems. They have to.

If not, Trump is not stopping at Ukraine. He will make demands of all of Europe while tariffing and cutting his own European defence spending the entire time.

The time to stand-up to Trump is now.

Back Ukraine. Stand up to the US. Russia is contained as long as we find Ukraine. The USA is not.

Have we forgotten that Trump has no power in Ukraine. All this means is that Europe has to provide a bit more funding.

Honestly, not even that much.

Keep fighting Russia without the US. Tell Trump to pound sand.

Will it be? It seems pretty easy to choose a transition time ( say an hour even ) and to charge the lowest price in the last 60 minutes.

Does it take more than an hour between pulling something off the shelf and hitting the register?

Anyway, I totally hate it so this is not me defending it.

Anything sold after 2008 will do that. Before that too but you probably want 64 bit.

Old MacBook Airs have fans but they rarely come on. I got a 2013 for $70 last summer and use it everyday.

If I understand, this is less a complaint about how UNIX works and more a story about the consequences of careless mistakes.

This is why we have KVMs I guess. Though not every server has one of those.

I had my first ever “breakage” on Arch recently. Actually two just recently (both on an old Mac):

• the driver for my Broadcom hardware was broken for a day
• with the upgrade to kernel 6.13, the FaceTimeHD camera is not working

Neither issue seems to be present in the LTS kernel (which is 6.12). I have both a current and an LTS kernel installed. So rebooting to LTS had me up and running. If I did not have that, no WiFi would have been a bigger issue os the MacBook Air has not Ethernet. The lack of a camera would be no video meetings without the LTS kernel as well. The problem has existed for a few days.

So, I can no longer say that I have never had an issue on Arch. I can say they have been rare. I can say I had more issues with Ubuntu or Fedora in the past.

I can also say that the only breakage I have had was mitigated by having an LTS kernel to reboot into.

Sorry for the multiple answers. I just saw this as well…

Hilarious. It is like a 5 year old accusing a historical figure of copying them.

I do not recommend Arch to new users but I really wish people would have a point supported by evidence when they post.

There is no 50 page manual to install EndeeavourOS or CachyOS, the two distros mentioned in the graphic. Both are as easy to point and click install as Fedora and maybe easier than Debian. The better hardware support makes the install much more likely to succeed. They both have graphical installers and lead you by the hand. In fact, when it comes to EOS, its entire identify is making Arch easy to install and to provide sensible defaults so that everything works out of the box. And of the 80,000 packages in Arch/AUR, less than 20 of them are unique to EOS (mostly theming).

There are lots of things to complain about regarding Arch related distros. Or maybe there isn’t if we have to lie about them.

Use the RPM instructions here:

I was going to recommend Flatpak but it does not seem to be on Flathub. Maybe consider one of the other SQL front-ends:

It is just a desktop app, not server software.

Unless you mean Distrobox.

Nobody in this thread likes China. The take-away should be that even an option as terrible as Chima is much safer and attractive than the USA right now.

There is apparently one influential figure in Canada that even considers Russia a better option. Again, Russia is truly terrible. Just better than the US in his opinion.

Maybe let that sink in.

Europe yes. China even to a more limited extent ( at least for a while ).

Russia? You must be freaking kidding me. That is before even considering that Russia and the US are on the path to becoming close allies.

Let me just say that hierarchies are for breaking ties.

The normal process is that Linus prefers we all work through maintainers to cut down on the noise that comes to him. In this case, the maintainer is the reason the noise is coming to Linus. So, it will be up to him to settle it.

Perhaps. That is not my read. I hear Linus saying that he trusts the process and that sticking with it is the solution to working through the problem. He does not say that a maintainer blocking a technically sound patch is a problem. He does not say that he would reject the patch. He does say that the approach taken by Hector ( who is not the one that submitted the patch ) is the wrong one. If Linus had said that the technical approach or the code quality was a problem, I would agree with you. He did not object to either of those things. What he said is that social media is not the solution.

The problem with your timeline is that it completely leaves out the event(s) that Linus is objecting to. I am hoping that is unintentional on your part.

I will know what Linus thinks when he either accepts or rejects the submission from the R4L team.

Really seems like we are agreeing. I get that the limited package set is a feature. I also get that it is both too small and too enterprise to satisfy most people you would describe as a “SO” precisely because they are probably normal people.

You gave the excellent example of Spotify and suggested a Flatpak for that. Honestly, I am not sure where we are in disagreement. Especially since I started by “mostly agreeing” myself. We even agree on that. :)

The release notes refer to the “few remaining issues”.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/milestones/3#tab-issues

There seem to be 115 issues on there which is more than “a few”. However, only 3 are listed as blockers. But a dozen of them are crashes.

How many of these need to be fixed before the 3.0 release? Does anybody know?
