I wouldn’t count it as desktop Linux as well. But I think it’s much more likely for chrome to take over Windows than it is for macOS.
Apple business strategy is to sell overpriced premium hardware. They don’t want to sell 300$ notebooks.
I think you underestimating ChromeOS

To use this side you have at least be as pale as #FFDAB9… But nobody is enforcing it.
Agreed, do not use Ubuntu.
But it’s still miles away from Window… and technically you can get closer with a Linux System… e.g. Google Android.
So I just tested it in my system (with Blender 5.1.1) and I can See and open symlinks with the Blender file open Dialog.
I would still assume it’s a problem of how you setup your symlink or a permission issue and not a problem of blender.
So as a user you should actually be more concerned about what regulations exist in the region you’re living, not of the region the server is histed. Because that’s the law you have to abide by.
Worst thing regarding the law of the server position is, that your post will be deleted / account will be banned.
And in the context of Online behavior I would argue, that in general all American/European laws are the same.
If we want to talk about details: In germany a very serious crime that is activly enfored, is to downplay crimes of the nazis. Even something like saying “trivial thing x is as bad as what the nazis did” could be interpreted as such a crime.
I would expect, that this is nothing that blender handles and it’s all handled by the OS… so naming your OS version would perhaps be more helpful.
Are you sure this problem only occurs in Blender?
Edit: if the link can be seen and opened from file browser or other applications can see and open the link, check if blender is installed as a flatpak or something similar. Flatpaks etc sometimes have different permission on file access. If the symlink is pointing to a restricted path that could be a problem.
This is perfect for people planing to get pulled over and have to explain sone things, on an airport …
there are problems with the old driver? Man you think at some point a tecnology is just complete, but apparently no.
No one can exit vim. It’s simply not possible.
There are even legends that the devil himself was onced tricked into opening vim and is stuck there since.
I think there is a lot that the author is right about.
However, removing X11 season was a decision of the Gnome Team not the Ubuntu team and I completely respect this.
Yes you can keep shipping it with the X11 optio, but someone has to maintain it. The gnome project has only limited resource so it’s either removed or an unstable mess… removing in this case is always the better option IMHO.
I think the core takeaways from all this is, we (as a community) should definitely no longer recommend Ubuntu as the default distro for newcomer to the Linux world.
We all have been idiot savants at some point of our lifes :)
I’m pretty sure those machines still run WinXP at best ;)
And yes that’s exactly what I said. You still can run Linux on a 486 for this special edge cases, it’s just that the Linux Kernel team will no longer provide the service for maintaining it. If it is such an important thing for crucial industry machines, they can definitely pay someone patching it back in.
For the overwhelmingly majority of Linux use cases it’s not a concern anymore. So why should they do the extra work, instead of spending the time elsewhere?
Exactly! Just because there is support for a stone age CPU in the Linux Kernel, doesn’t mean every single modern Linux compatible software is running smoothly on this.
Of course, from the Mac/Windows point of view it was the correct thing to ditch such old stuff. Because they are concerned about having a stable product that is running on modern hardware. Keeping this old stuff in, makes it more complicated to maintain their system and therefore more suspectable to errors.
Linux could only keep this support up for so long, because somewhere there where people that though it would be worth care about for 28 years. And even now it’s not over. You can modify the kernel and patch 486 support back in again on your own. So “incompatibility” doesn’t really exist with a open system. It’s just that nobody at the core kernel team will do this service for you anymore.
How can it be, that the Iranian terror regime appears more simpatic than the current US Government?
Windows …
Because I don’t want an OS that just works.
A good opportunity to remind, that the US was the only country ever to invoke article 5 and Europeans (even Ukraine) came to help…
You mean Blobby Volley?
IDK… “average payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker this year” no way that the average worker will get half a million dollar a year. So I don’t really understand what this strikes are aiming for.
