As long as it’s showing the true url, I like the change.

I can’t express this deeply enough. Fuck Israel. Supporting them is an indefensible stupidity.

Pay the price or pay the price!

Fuckin ghoul

Fuck Israel

K. Let me know when it happens. I’ll believe it then. I’ll just keep hoping until then.

I’m not really hinting at anything. I’m saying that not everyone that comes to look at Linux will have technical info to understand why that guide matters, nor will they want to invest in learning beyond meeting their needs. Having supported windows and mac users alike, the overwhelming majority really just wanted something that wasn’t a hassle. And they favor which ever OS gives them that in the way they find least onerous.

And so the distro chooser helps the ones of those willing to put in a tiny bit of effort to try something new, but don’t want to go read extensively to do it. It’s better than rolling a die when it comes to meeting their needs.

Trying to force people to see linux the way you want them to see it will never work. It hasn’t worked for decades now. All the factions with their different ideological principles get in the way of Linux more than help it. The guide you linked is mostly removed from that thankfully and to its credit. It is also a lot of info a basic user doesn’t need to know in the end. They want “OS go brrrr”, not to understand the nuances of flatpak and snap, or why atomic might be beneficial to them. Even though knowing all of that is definitely in their best interest. I fully agree they’d be better off knowing. But they still don’t want it. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. And since Linux people won’t generally come meet them at their level (or worse you get two people trying to ‘help’ arguing with each other instead of helping), a tool that does something like the distro chooser has to come meet them. It’s only a benefit in Linux adoption at the end of the day.

While that’s a good read for someone more technical, the distro chooser brings it to people of lower technical prowess.

Lmao gotcha. I won’t worry about it then. Currently distro shopping. 🙂

I will cancel if an ad shows up. That will be my final straw.

Well that’s a great way to keep me unsubscribed. Glad I canceled my membership.

I keep seeing this sentiment, what’s wrong with systemd?

…but you can tell someone they have wrongly defined something while giving them the correct definition. Which is what happened…

What’s the alternative? Because the DNC has been doing some real shitty things the past decade.

Poor locations, poor conditions/protections, poor wages. Just a guess.

Do you have to see a movie to know you’d like to not see an actor as the main character?

I’m still miffed he’s Dr Doom. Shows how much they lack any creativity in that empty headed studio.

Definitely need to give it a second go. It’s nothing like it started.

Veritable scat play.

I legit want to use that for home defense.
