You misunderstood the sign. You can’t smoke the dog, the dog can do whatever the hell it wants. Smoking cigar is allowed, smoking barefeet dogs not allowed.

No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD

Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?

I use Linux servers on my job and I did a ton of research. I felt confident in moving from Windows to Linux and for the most part it went very well. Most distributions provide a live environment and the installer is extremely easy.

I had a ton of small little problems with Nvidia, Wayland, audio… I ended up fixing most of them, or at least apply some workarounds but it was a painful experience.

Gaming works really really really well, which I found surprising.

Even good developers make mistakes. It’s really nice to catch these mistakes at compile time.

The great thing about Linux is that there are options for everyone.

Want an OS with a full desktop installed? We got you.

Want an OS with almost nothing installed where you can make every single decision? We got you.

Want to build the OS entirely from scratch? We got you.

There’s an option for everyone and that’s cool. Don’t be mad about having a choice.

I get it. The problem is that the target audience doesn’t watch these videos. We all have that one friend who thinks VPNs make you invisible.

I mean… If Proton had no way of knowing your recovery email, it would be pretty pointless to set one up. If they do have a way of knowing it, they are bound by swiss law to give it up. No company is above the law, they have always been very transparent on that matter.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. Lack of ipv6 is mind blowing, to be honest.

I used to be a Mullvad customer but switched to Proton because I use all the products on their suite. It makes financial sense to me.

Mullvad, however, has the best VPN experience ever. Faster, more stable and way less Captchas (though I’m not sure that’s good?). Plus, I love their bullshit free pricing. It’s 5 euros a month regardless if you buy 1 month or 2 years. Can’t recommend it enough, even though I’m no longer a customer.

But why go through those hoops? What is the advantage Debian brings when you have to cherry pick packages and their dependencies from Sid? Stability is no longer an advantage when you are cherry picking from Sid lol.

You can also install “app stores” on arch, if you so desire. I believe the most famous one is pamac.

You can configure the firewall with the KDE GUI, you don’t need additional knowledge than the one you’d already need for any other system.

I wouldn’t recommend Arch for newbies with no technical background but I feel like EndeavourOS is very simple to install and use.

Yeah but what’s the point of using Debian when you’re going to have to manually package newer versions of a lot of software?

What problems do you have on Ubuntu? What software is too out of date? Why do you need LTS for a workstation?

Here in Portugal the lowest is 8gb. The 500 euro models have 16gb already.

That’s a very liberal use of the word “objectively”.

Red Hat burned all the bridges when they pulled the rug on CentOS. I admire and commend the open source community on Rocky but they still depend on Red Hat source code, which has been apparently harder and harder to grab.

I’d rather move to Debian, thank you very much. Which we have and went very smoothly. Only a couple of servers left!

The problem is that Russia has far more resources than Ukraine and they have an upper hand in this war. They do not wish to leave empty handed. As sad as it is, for peace to happen Ukraine is going to have to lose something.

Putin already said he doesn’t want peace when the opponent has a shortage of ammo so this discussion is irrelevant anyway.

I wish we did more for Ukraine, it’s deeply saddening to see the news :(

Every info seems to point that Discord hasn’t had a single year with positive profit. Here’s one of the sources

Discord isn’t in dire financial straits, though it has yet to become profitable

Discord has raised a total of about $1 billion in funding. It has more than $700 million in cash on its balance sheet and the goal to become profitable this year, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Revenue alone doesn’t mean much, how much was profit?
