Is that shit finally banned?
Never signed up, but happy to see that brain rotting app go away.

But I wouldn't stop there, imo all GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) spyware should get the boot.

English is not my native language,
my mistake, corrected it.

Did not know that,
however it won't make me change up my mind about Nintendont.

All their previous lawsuites and takedowns against the modding and emulation communities, where not fake, nor trolls, and made me despise them.

Nintendont,
the lawsuit company that makes games on the side, strikes again...

We're well beyond the point by now of me ever buying anything from them again.
I won't support such behavior of any company.

I'm using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
https://looking-glass.io/

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

I mean same applies to the Chinese,
but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I'm looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro..

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn't change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it's all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I'm not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire...

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor..

Why?

It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.

2 points you'll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:

• The certificate of their website expired twice
• If you use AUR packages,
  sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.

Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community...
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.

Yes/no.

I lived without YouTube / a Google account for years.

But I still use YouTube through a privacy respecting frontend:
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/frontends/#youtube

I usually go for:

• On desktop: Invidious or Piped
• On Android: Tubular or NewPipe

• Communication: Matrix
• Browsing: I2P
• Communities: ActivityPub / Mastodon
• Software Forge: Fogejo + ForgeFed
• OS: Linux
• Money: Monero

Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:

• Decentralized / Federated
• Sensorship resistant
• Privacy respecting
• Open source

Dear politicians,
stop assaulting our rights,
and start fighting for our rights,
unless you'd like to be yeeted out of parliament.

With kind regards,
every aware citizen.

Waydroid is made for Wayland.

You can however run it on X-Server,
through a Wayland session window
(e.g. KWin_Wayland, Cage, Weston, ...):
https://docs.waydro.id/faq/setting-up-waydroid-only-sessions

I wrote a tool to help improve the user experience on X-Server,
however currently it only supports KDEs Kwin_Wayland:

High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that's not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄

Well I'm not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.

However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.

Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?

Eww, still using the official spyware?

Why not try out a privacy respecting frontend?

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.

For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.

I write PHP on the daily and don't understand the hate it gets :/

At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#

Good luck! :)
