  • You have a very narrow perception of what a linux distribution/system should be, and that is a heavily commercial windows/macos alternative for people who deny reading.
    That audience makes total crap popular!

    Is that better now?

    @Ullebe1

  • and why they’re playing an increasingly big role in modern distros.

    My modern distros, are you implying if a distro adopts flatpak use it is modern, if not it is antiquated?

    Those are dangerous doctrines when foss is meant to provide choice, and it can be a choice to reject certain groups of software.

    @Ullebe1

  • What would js be able to do out of firejail or other such forms of containment?

    I only allow js for very specific sites, and most that you can't do without I just do without. I am not that worried about security though, it is just an exercise.

    I use seatd with wayland but it can be compiled without it too. My main issue is as I said, I can't just run "sudo -u user2 leafpad" for example, you say it is a security measure, I say it is an inconvenience.

    @Ullebe1

  • I don''t use systemd or logind so I don't have to worry about such magic security violations this bogus pile of crap creates. I have more control of processes and don't allow some "automated" service to be loging-in-out system users 2000 times a nanosecond as logind does.

    It only happens when I want it to happen, not uncontrollably.

    KISS is the best security measure.

    @Ullebe1

  • Are you comparing 40years of graphical environment stability and global use with something that has been broken for more than a decade and now all of a sudden is portrayed as secure?

    I want to start applications as another user in my own environment and my own system and wayland prevents me, while x11 allows me (together with many forms of sandboxing and containerization).

    I have asked this question to all pretend to be experts of wayland and I have 0 responses.

    @Ullebe1 @LainTrain

  • Non-sense, any linux, even the most wasteful in resources, ubuntu, mint, manjaro, debian, fedora, gnome plasma DE, uses a fraction of resources to start and execute whatever. I have 2-3 friends running daily on early/mid 2core intel/amd machines where w10/11 wouldn't even boot!

    @Suspiciousbrowsing @somethingsomethingidk

  • Many unions collect fees, for operational costs, publications, transportation costs, etc.

    Especially they collect funds to support those who have been unjustifiably laid-off, or during strikes to have emergency pay so they can refuse to return due to fin.pressure. Families of disabled or killed at work members...

    The thing here is you have for profit corporations producing code as well as executives, and unemployed privateers. Who gets what?

    @jlow @GroundPlane

  • And you are either an ubuntu/debian troll or pretending to know something.
    Can you show us some reference of how/when pacman broke last?

    Arch-testing has been more stable than sid ever was, and it was rare that sid ever broke.

    And I haven't used systemd EVER, unless that is where ALL the instability comes from, and I missed it, from wheezy to arch-testing

    @possiblylinux127

  • Just last week I was arguing with a bunch of #ubuntu fan boys here about how that system prevents you from learning, how Debian is a tiny bit better, but with arch/based systems you both have a reliable daily runner and be able to learn as much as you can take.

    The more you learn the more aggravating debians (mint-ubuntus) become, forcing their choices on you. Arch respects and rewards people who want to do it their way. They provide the blocks, you build your system.

    @youngGoku @mrMADAFAKA

  • You can run 3 vm instances, 1 win10, 1 android, 1 ios, and within them you can run native whatevers.

    Why would you want to run crap in your nice clean nix environment is beyond me. And nothing will ever improve with this kind of mentality.

    Again, free software stands for freedom, not cheap or of 0 exchange value.

    @Quazatron @helenslunch

  • Sometimes the code to make a mouse or any pointing device (TS included) work with a cli can be 15 times more than the cli itself. Cheap low powered devices for the masses (globally) would perform competitively if it wasn't for all the heavy gui work they have to do.

    @Tak @teawrecks

  • Have you made a single AUR pkg, or are you just criticizing thousands for their work without any evidence from your armchair?

    @Rustmilian

  • Energy is never generated, power is, from energy conversion.

    Also "energy" and "sustainable" intersect with a word called entropy.

    @teawrecks @halm

  • It would take years for MS to catch up to the hw covered by linux, some of it not even released in a market.

    If you are talking about specific MS licensed hw with unpublished non-open non-free-firmware that MS orders to cut off other OSs then I can see this being true.

    If you are falling for the Nvidia trap, I feel sorry for you.

    @Dezvous @tet

  • First of all generalizing about this is totally wrong, depending on what software/libraries a program depends on for build makes a huge difference. If it is good old C that is backwards compatible (hence the size of glibc) it will work all the time. Show me one debian or arch official package that is written in C and says for glibc =2.35

    On other software proposing a library to be =ver-xxx means the packager speculates that future editions will NOT break the build.

    @Rustmilian @lemmyvore

  • Has endeavourOS enabled testing repositories as default? If not why call it bleeding edge, it is barely cutting it.

    Being a passive victim of systemd crud makes it more like a rusty bent edge if any edge at all.

    @Comradesexual @tet

  • apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt upgrade is debian's way in reconstructing a system victim of the shortcoming of poor package management that can not be healed otherwise.

    @acockworkorange @BautAufWasEuchAufbaut

  • I'd be the last person on earth to defend debian or systemd-boot that has turned linux into a garage project, but could it be that you are booting the image in legacy/bios mode and attempt an EFI installation? This is hackish to do since /sys/.../efi.. doesn't exist.

    If you insure you are booting in efi mode then it should work out. If not chroot into the installation and follow the procedure of installing the bootloader manually.

    @potentiallynotfelix @winety

  • It doesn't matter what the question is antiX is the answer.

    Apart from antiX in recent years making tremendous strides in being truly systemd free it is more stable than debian, since systemd keeps releasing more and more buggy complexities such as systemd-boot

    antiX also has stable/testing/unstable branches, but experience from the past proves that even sid/unstable is a very usable daily work system. Sid is close to arch but +5 architectures x2 32/64

    @kanzalibrary @potentiallynotfelix

  • You can’t avoid IBM/RedHat

    Let's just leave it at that, we can't avoid code published by them, it is everywhere. Both of those are subject and clear collaborators with agencies of the state that protects their existence.

    It is 100s of times better than MS, ok, yes, it is. Still, "we" have a long way to go, away from "them".
