damn proton ceo sounds deranged

Look man, I know your brain is probably pickled from the internet, but I’ll engage on good faith against my better judgement.

I’m not defending RMS, I’m saying that it’s weird to preface anything that has to do with him with “first off, I hate RMS and the FSF”. It’s textbook virtue signaling and its cringe. RMS is not a pedophile. He said some problematic shit on the internet. Saying problematic shit on the internet is not real life.

Even of he was a pedophile, RMS is not your responsibility. You don’t need to preface any post that references FSF with some qualifier to signal to people you’re on their side. No one fucking cares what you think of him.

Furthermore, RMS has actually made something important in material reality by making the GPL and coreutils among other things. This has had a measurable impact on the world. What you are doing does not. Your opinion of him is about as relevant as your opinion on Scooby Doo.

Well the Libreboot docs read like schitzo ramblings, so this totally tracks

I’m not going to relitigate this since it’s been argued to death but no one on the internet is responsible for RMS’ weird emails. You are not responsible for him, and posters don’t need to preface all of their posts by professing their hatred for him. You can think he’s creepy and weird and not make it your personality.

That’s fair, I edited my comment because I read read it and decided that this is in fact nothing new. Still extremely annoying and shows a complete lack of critical analysis.

RMS is a freak but we are all indebted to him for giving us the GPL.

Hating RMS is this thing edgy teens say nowadays for some reason, it allows them to signal their position while relinquishing the responsibility to think critically. Classic Reddit behavior. Typically these are high school or college age kids who don’t really know anything about him just that he’s weird and that he said some weird stuff online.

In real life your posts don’t matter. It means nothing. Your positions are not praxis. They have zero effect on the material world.

Saying you hate RMS is like saying you hate Scooby Doo – its completely meaningless. You might as well say you’re a fucking pirate. It’s a completely non sensical statement.

Why would anyone expect otherwise. These people are the enemy

To be fair, there isn’t really a such thing as “stock” Arch. You would just have the base and linux linux-firmware packages. EOS gives you a minimal, but entirely functional desktop experience with as few assumptions possible, which is nice for someone who wants to tailor their desktop to their liking. You are correct, cachy would probably be easier, but I don’t think EOS is particularly hard. Either way, gaming is just a matter of installing steam.

That’s because it could be done in a way that doesn’t cause those harms to people or the environment. The software itself doesn’t dictate that.

It’s NOT being done in that manner, but that’s a capitalism problem, not inherent to the software. This is just a computer program we’re talking about here.

I’m so bored of radlibs screaming about the AI burning the trees. Like why are you yelling at me. The freaks who made this shit are building the death star. We’re going to need to use this stuff too if we’re ever going to actually win.

Linus has never been a champion of ethics. He’s a pragmatist. Not sure why anyone expects him to be Thomas Sankara or something.

IMO Fedora can do everything that Ubuntu does, without snap or the opinionated Cannonical stuff, it’s an easy GUI installer, has better defaults (except you need to manually add non-fre repos, trivial), and wide software compatibility. You can’t go wrong with Fedora unless you specifically hate having up to date software or major updates every 6-12 months.

Cachy is a fine distro too I guess. I’d probably use EndeavorOS instead. Any distro with a relatively recent graphics stack is going to game the same. The QoL stuff around the margins is going to be more important than the 2% optimization you get from Cachy’s kernel, and cachyos-proton can be run on steam in any distro.

There are many reasons why you don’t want to do this. Flatpaks dont touch PATH, the sandboxing makes it difficult, and flathub doesn’t distribute CLI programs, being the main ones. So yes, it is technically possible, but so cumbersome as to be unfeasible. Snap on the other hand does implement a pretty frictionless method for running CLI snaps.

Again, you guys are making me defend snap, I’m not even an Ubuntu user. However, when you blindly state things that are incorrect, you denigrate your own position. This whole snaps are slavery echo chamber is extremely tedious. Its no different than people just parroting political opinions they saw on instagram. Use the best tool for the job. If that’s Ubuntu, great.

Roads are also a tool for drunk drivers.

See how silly that sounds?

At some point we’re going to want to ditch Google’s services entirely. This is simply a trust/societal problem, not an engineering one. Most proprietary apps rely on Google’s app attestation. The main hurdle I see for an Android fork becoming mainstream without Google is establishing a 3rd party root of trust, like how SSL already works. It is actively against Google’s interest to allow this to happen, so they will push as much closing of their OS as they can without “boiling the frog” so to speak.

Snaps run CLI programs. As a server operator, snaps are at times genuinely useful. This sub betrays itself as being mostly hobbyists by not understanding that flatpaks only work for GUI apps.

that is certainly a downside.

This is an objectively false statement. There are at least one scenario I can think of where Snap is better than flatpak.

Edit: You guys really don’t know what objectively better means huh.
