Inheritance wars wasn’t something on my FOSS list…

Check your projections

Hardware people sounds like a euphemism for protogen.

Fediverse and CSAM?

Wise people know when to adjust core beliefs to not get into a situation like this, but I’d say that there’s at least a bit of intention here.

BDFL is such a weird concept to stem from the late 20th century.

BDFL privilege…

Cherry picking, but one could argue that rudeness is a lazy general term and Linus’ rudeness is about not including BS while NSL wanted the inverse of including something others did to show off. Not an apology for either of those blokes

Being rude doesn’t get you too far in OSS.

“To simply work” relies on a specific use case.

A relative of mine used to do music on Linux and often compiled obscure software for music production from Github. Debian and even some Ubuntu derivatives sometimes lacked the required build chain versions.

Debian might be a good catch as you’re already familiar with deb, if you don’t mind packages being tested first before rollout.

I have a relative who I helped set up RTLinux (?) on Kubuntu back in 2018. I think they were playing around with Helm, Calf, Ardour, Hydrogen, Rosegarden et all and JACK of course, but that’s all I remember on the music production side - I was helping more along the lines of PPAs, compiling and configuring and mostly on WE after I came back from somewhere, so 3AM or smth (not good for memory).

Music Makers will love this

If I got it right, rpi-6.3.y introduced a PWM fan control bug - roughly September last year.

Other people already explained how to switch DEs.

My question wasn’t driven by gatekeeping, but by tone and comparison. Linux has to deal with both modularity and UX and still be better than Windows in most topics. Granted, OP wasn’t awful about this, but if we had no easy answer, for example because it hasn’t been implemented yet to be easy, this community, LXDE and TwisterOS would’ve likely caused another “Linux is shit!”, if not directly for OP, but then for those who lurk. There is a great anxiety in our beginner-friendlyness. Being open to newbies is how things got accomplished, but Linux shouldn’t be the safe haven for those who were failed by other OS alone.

Maybe I shouldn’t have said what I said, but I thought the valid issue itself was solved.

Why are people like this?

I don’t remember exactly, but some relative poverty lines start at 60% of median household income.

• £700 / (£32,400 * .6 / 12) ≈ .43, thus 43% of monthly income for a poor household in the UK
• $700 / ($74,580 * .6 / 12) ≈ .19, thus 19% of monthly income for a poor household in the US

I hope median household income is netto, otherwise this is skewed.

Paving the way for Linux gaming is a bit of a stretch here, but yes, userspacing security in Windows could enable Linux compatibility better.

I don’t know what bcachefs does exactly, but Overstreet seems to perceive Torvalds as some personal tutor or tester, almost as if Overstreet doesn’t understand the merits of division of labour.

Games that I actually played while listening to an audiobook:

Farming Simulator, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Minecraft

Games that I wouldn’t recommend based on my experience:

Civilisation, Portal and any game that you’re not familiar with
