Thank you for the correction.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

How much 32bit only hardware is still out there in the wild and not still running on windows XP?

Sounds like a problem for a purpose built distro, not a mainline one.

EDIT: I stand corrected. I thought it was hardware 32bit support being discussed. It’s premature to discontinue 32-bit libraries.

Why would you need to expose SSH for everyday use? Or does Jellyfin require it to function?

Maybe leave that behind some VPN access.

Taking the pot off the stove, throwing away and starting again, then repeating it many times is not giving it time to cook

Mandrake 2003. Followed by Ubuntu server 5.10 in 2005.

Switched to Debian in 2020, been on Debian since.

I use it because of the lack of BS.

Secondly, it’s stable.

Yes, Predictable release cadence is also important.

Manufacturers have to validate that it is going to continue working and remain supported. Rolling releases are basically impossible to accommodate in that process.

It’s also likely that Canonical is providing free assistance to them, in order to secure enterprise contracts on the other end.

It’s usually 10% of the device MSRP for windows pro.

There are some very low cost devices that get it for $10 for windows home…

It’s very stable. You can also stand it upright so you have the two screens side by side.

The keyboard also docks on the bottom screen so you can use it like a normal laptop as well. https://youtu.be/K6Cr73w8CJE

Asus zenbook duo. Probably the best of this type.

Look into the FAF community for supreme commander. Dramatically improves the game with an active multiplayer community

The idea is not to have a subscription for having the content. As you say, it’s just files.

The licence, should be for the ability to create new files based on the actors voice.

I like the idea, but the voice should be licenced like a patent.

Game developers should have to purchase a subscription licence in order to use a voice actors voice in AI generated content.

If they don’t renew it, they cannot use it for any new content.

I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.

I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.

I think it should be: “Software that is yours”

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.

For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.

Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.

Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.

They are legally obligated to do it at this point.

I have the fact that development studios are so beholden to publishers.

It’s an AMD machine, lspci sees the devices. It just can seem to initialize it, sometimes. Every now and again it just starts working if the machine was unpowered for a few days.
