I am looking forward to GNU+Linux usage share numbers a year from now. I think it is very likely to pass 5%.

I trust OIC and Muslim countries more than I trust any Western source. It is borderline farcical for Western governments and media to pretend to care about the welfare of Muslims in China while directly or indirectly enabling the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine and invasions and war crimes in many other countries as well as the discriminatory policies in their own countries.


OpenAI, and others, lose money on every prompt even with paid subscriptions. The resources will still be wasted by them but to cost them money is priceless.
But which one is a lesser evil?
During my lifetime the US has invaded/bombed and killed thousands [directly or indirectly] in:
The US has also facilitated a genocide in Palestine through weapon shipments, intelligence sharing, fleet placement and UN vetoes and is now preparing to invade Venezuela.
China has not invaded or bombed any country during my lifetime.
The funny thing about people saying “both countries can be bad” is that they will lose their minds if you tell them “both major parties in the US are bad”. Somehow they only accept “lesser-evilism” for themselves but not for others.
Tibet has been a part of China longer than Ohio has been a part of the US. It is clear which indigenous people did better and which practically don’t exist anymore.
Yes, the US -and most Western media- lie about the genocide in Gaza, but what does this have to do with the British Empire takeover of Hong Kong?
But have you considered “whiteman good, chinaman bad”?
If X11 is so good why is there no X12?


It’s complicated, but I was born in the US though I also hold a citizenship of another country.


I have come to a similar realization but it took me living in the US to experience it for myself. I’m so glad I left back in January of this year.


It translates Windows API calls to X and POSIX API calls. Theoretically it comes with a performance hit but as benchmarks have shown that is usually not the case as both Wine and the entire system as a whole are more efficient than Windows. Wine will fail whenever an application requests an API call that is not implemented yet, sometimes copying DLLs from Windows helps, sometimes…


You don’t have to distro hop to switch desktop environments. You can install KDE Plasma (5.27 though) on LinuxMint.


Better late than never. I hope the momentum continues.


If you want a Webkit-based browser just use GNOME Web (formerly known as Epiphany).


No, otherwise I wouldn’t have used GNOME in the past. I stopped using it because it changed too much for me not because its logo is a smelly foot. I also think KDE Khas Kterrible Kbranding but I still use it now that I prefer it to GNOME and got bored with MATE.
macOS has a terminal and sometimes you will still have to use it even if not as often as *Linux, except that it works differently from GNU+Linux distros and even from BSD that you will have fewer resources to rely on.


It looks like you want SteamOS. I recommend either getting a Steam Deck, wait for the Steam Machine or install it compatible hardware if you have any. No Nvidia GPUs.
SteamOS checks all three requirements for the most part, maybe 3 not so much. But it will be near impossible to fuck it up as it has a read-only filesystem and all apps are installed through flatpak which are sandboxed similar to apps on iOS.
Instead of kink shaming Destiny, it is more relevant and damning to mention his support for the genocide in Gaza and his advise for Israeli soldiers to not film themselves committing war crimes.
It shouldn’t be surprising, in the addition to the lack of discipline, propaganda actually works.
