oh no i would have trusted the KINGKONG X

these decades you mean

i should really have some good sources saved for this, the tankie thing is a perfect way to expose the irony. took me a while to find this again but it’s worth digging deeper than me if you are interested in it:

basically “tankie” comes from how soviets crushed the hungarians with tanks and the us said it was a brutal suppression of anarchists or something similar.

soviets denied it and accused them of working for the empire, and now the cia under trump has declassified their role in trying for a color revolution in there.

desktop environments are a way more important point of contact for newbies.

the distro just has to have googleable tutorials and be reasonably bug free.

look for screenshots of the distros you see here and choose the interface that interests you the best. or look up which one they use. i’m serious.

funny thing about tankie is that they just revealed it’s based on another cia coup attempt. it proves tankies right lmao.

licensing that easily allows oligarchs to take the work and not contribute a single cent or line of code.

the pushover licensing of rust coreutils is a worrying development too.

for the current price, yes

only tinman square never forget actually matters (but only MY interpretation of it)

you misspelled greedy companies

thanks, grandma

wish i could say it to my boss!

I installed it and had it working as expected within 20 minutes.

then what is the problem? one solution didn’t work, you tried another and it did?

isn’t that exactly how people troubleshoot windows problems? and that tends to happen more often when you are new to it.

funny how i never have to deal with “package managers”. i just turn my computer on and use it?

if you want the same proficiency you have on an OS you’ve been using for 30 years, you will have to acquire experience with it too.

make the investment or deal with windows, choice is yours.

“something that sounds vaguely fascistic”

imagine preordering a consumer wifi router instead of going to the store and getting one. while there are no devices that can use it. who is this even for?

(hopefully) firmware updates

yeah about that

this means they are getting found before someone else can abuse it. linux is getting more secure soon.

manjaro had a lot of issues with stuff as basic as their certificate.

i wouldn’t trust them over endeavour or cachy and i’ve personally had a good experience on both of these.
