The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.

I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

Some arch+hyprland would be awesome on even this hardware.

Blackstone inc.

Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

Germany and Italy learn from their mistakes. The US keeps repeating them more than any other country (except for Argentina)

But those are Americans.

Mandrake 2003. Followed by Ubuntu server 5.10 in 2005.

Switched to Debian in 2020, been on Debian since.

Would not say equally shitty, otherwise they won’t have popular support they do.

That “small subset” is hundreds of millions of devices made in the last 5 years alone.

The problem with Linux (not their fault), is that most of the problems appear in hardware made in the last 3 years.

Most of the hobbyists I speak to that have failed linux desktop experiences mostly switch back to windows due to:

1. Hardware compatibility issues.
2. Microsoft office interoperability limitations of the web based office.
3. Display scaling issues on multi-monitor setups and some linux applications.

Personally for me the list is:

1. Bluetooth not being detected on my particular asus laptop. (The same bluetooth chip works in other laptops)
2. Multi-monitor scaling and resolution issues when 3 external monitors are connected via thunderbolt doc.
3. Lack of good alternatives to fancyzones

That’s because you are sending your Fucks to the wrong key. You are missing the /feedback folder under system
