I might consider that actually, I was trying to use secureblue instead of LMDE for the better security, and this was part of why I gave up on it. Cheers!

Lucky bastard. Try running Windows CE 2.11 and you'll truly know how it feels to be caged.

Chipping in, I have no idea what Garuda is, but I also hated working with Fedora, probably because I started off on Debian-based systems and couldn't wrap my head around Fedora.

Bazzite, being an immutable distro, is intended where you shouldn't need to use the Fedora package manager, so you instead install applications sandboxed like AppImages, flatpaks, etc. I've been fine with this for my gaming PC, but currently I still use and prefer Debian (LMDE) for my study laptop because I have easier control over it.

Overall it comes down to what you want out of your computer and what works best for you, that's the beauty with Linux, but I thought I'd chip in and mention not to write off Bazzite for being Fedora based, as someone who couldn't get behind Fedora.

Yeah I think it was clear there was sarcasm when they concluded on newspaper being the best form to get tech news lol

It's not about if a company is shafting you then don't use them. If a company is shafting it's userbase, it shouldn't fall squarely on the customers to make a company stop shafting them, it's legislators and governments with teeth who should do something about it.

Try telling this argument to the team behind Netscape Navigator. Microsoft's most attractive aspect was using their Windows market share to, in their case, take market share in other submarkets like browsers and word processors. If the customers don't want to be behind such a dick move, they shouldn't use it? The government shouldn't do anything about it?

How does Microsoft manage to be both ahead and behind the curve? A decade before Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, they already were doing the same thing, and somehow blew it?

Windows CE in general blows me away how the underlying tech is fundamentally the same as modern smartphones (system is a ROM, had ARM support, goes to sleep by default) and Microsoft was still too slow to react to the iPhone. God I miss my PDA.

I do this with Discord and Zoom as an alternative to installing their actual apps. 99% of the functionality is there anyway, and the 1% is stuff I don't want anyway

The paragraph after is golden:

The Met confirmed to the BBC that officers had visited Mr Bromley about the incident and that although no arrests had been made, the force took "reports of hate crime seriously".

That's exactly what I do with my Forester. I live in a regional area of Australia so for me it's a daily driver and great for long trips, and if I need to pick shit up, fold the seats down and I effectively have my ute.

I was thinking this, because that's what Facepunch did when they stopped Linux support. If you had played Rust at all on Linux, regardless of hours, you were eligible for a refund.

There's some irony of this being in Reading, PA..

Democratic regime manifest

Never thought I'd see someone unironically chant Democracy Manifest, but here we are
