Just makes you wonder what else (if anything) is backdoored. I am seriously 🤏 this close to just switching all of my boxes over to OpenBSD.
The last time someone over there was approached about backdooring a related piece of software (which they refused), the OpenBSD devs manually screened the entire codebase, just in case something got in.
Really, the only things I'd miss would be Minecraft, KDE, and Mullvad Browser; and of course I'd have to buy a couple more WiFi dongles (or learn how to port drivers from Linux).
The UK government runs on Windows 98 (they've modified it over the years to the point that updating would break everything) and I believe the NHS runs on XP.
My brother is a few years below me. The point I was trying to make was that behaviour has gone downhill. The badly-behaved students in my year were generally only nasty to staff, and still manageable; but just two years below and they're the worst people you could meet, who will pick a fight with anyone and anything and won't stop until you are out of the picture, one way or another.
It definitely is, and quickly. My year wasn't exactly well-behaved, but as we grew up and in comparison to older and younger years, we got better. Besides, the badly-behaved students in my year generally only nasty to staff, and can be pretty friendly once you get to know them.
Meanwhile, my brother and several of his friends have effectively been bullied out of school, and the culprits let off with a detention.
Just gave it a try. It's okay, but there's no way to scrobble from iOS (where I normally listen to music). I'm getting an Android at some point, but for now I need to work with what I've got.
I'm not sure what the general consensus is, but I've been using XBPS for everything, and then nix-env for anything not available on the default repos or in srcpkgs. On my system, it's essentially just a replacement for Flatpak and AppImage, as I've had trouble running Flatpaks on Sway, and AppImages aren't yet supported on musl libc.
Thanks!
