How would it become a fascist dystopia exactly?

Well, if you can't beat them, join them! You have to adjust to the pace of what society is moving towards.

Fuck spez.

Dude is making fucking $1,080/month off a free software project. I hope he's satisified with the work he is doing for everyone in the community. Cheers for even better days to come!

It's free / libre software, which is even better, because it gives you more freedom than just 'open-source' software. Make sure to check the licenses of software that you use. Anything based on GPL, MIT, or Apache 2.0 are Free Software licenses. Anyways, together monkey strong 💪

I was simply offering a suggestion. The original poster used the term 'FOSS' to describe Ubuntu GNU/Linux, which isn't entirely accurate, as Ubuntu includes non-free software by default.

My intention was to ensure they were informed about it. The whole point of GNU/Linux is to make sure that every computer user has freedom. If you think sharing information and teaching people is bad, maybe you're using the wrong operating system.

Ubuntu GNU/Linux is not entirely FOSS, as it ships with non-free software by default. If you're committed to FOSS principles, I would recommend Debian GNU/Linux instead.

However, it's important to note that Debian GNU/Linux is not recognized by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) as a completely FOSS distribution. This is because Debian includes non-free firmware packages for those who need them.

From a security perspective, this is acceptable, as the Linux kernel won't load these packages unless the corresponding hardware is available. Debian ships with Free Software by default, and I would suggest giving it a try if possible!

It's essentially the same as Ubuntu, but more freedom-respecting.

Well, that's debatable too because if your going to put a new user on a rolling-release distro, something will probably break and they'll have to fix that. Debian is great for this because it provides stability over having the latest and greatest tools. In my own opinion, Debian was the best choice for me as a newcomer because it just works. (I use it as my daily still)

I do agree with your second point though, there should be descriptions in the installer describing words like 'GRUB' or 'GNOME', I already asked one of the Debian developers about this, they said there is just not enough room in the installer. People also have AI at their fingertips now, so it will get better later on.

You don't have to manually set partitions, you can just choose to keep everything in one partition if you'd like.

I'm playing the game at 1440p, my camera is recording at 4K

I tried previously to pass through my GPU to a virtual machine (KVM hypervisor) and was unsuccessful. I also tried installing the open kernel drivers for my 2080 SUPER but that didn't work either. So unfortunately, I had to load proprietary garbage onto my host.

I'm going to give it another go today and see if I can make it work. Ill keep you updated!
