    • ‘You can keep your old hardware, we won’t force you to upgrade.’
    • ‘Your old GPU, yes, even your R9 Fury, still has a home here, don’t worry, we won’t leave you out in the cold unlike our competition.’

    …Among other jabs at Windows in the spirit of the old Mac vs. PC ads, or to be more apt, in the spirit of Sega’s old ads picking on Nintendo in the '90s.

    Also…

    • ‘Linux does! What Windon’t.’

  • Void, and I really wanted to like it on account of not relying on systemd, but its package repos are too barren for me.

    Like, Void’s repos are even more barren than EL’s stock repos before you add RPMFusion and EPEL among other third-party repos into it, and its AUR equivalent don’t help matters.

    And Void’s musl port is even more limited than the glibc version because it doesn’t support multilib, so you can’t have Steam or WINE on Void musl, for example, while you could on the glibc version that supports multilib.









  • Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don’t trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don’t care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.

    At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS’ worst anti-user atrocities, but there’s nothing saying those SKUs won’t get screwed somehow at some point down the line.
