NetBoot: "rather than offer you then illusion of free choice, I have taken the liberty of choosing for you"

If you throw away the trash can from your house, you still have to put the garbage somewhere. If a program is outputting errors or logs, it still needs to put them somewhere, so no more /dev/null means no more default trashcan for the system to send its trash, as far as I understand it

They will eventually, they just won't be as brazen about it

Ubuntu I feel is a necessary stepping stone for newbie Linux users, myself included. It's a starting point that some may never leave, but as the user gets more comfortable I would hope they'd branch out to a different distro that better suits their needs. Sometimes it's Ubuntu, many realize they should just run Debian with their wm of choice. Regardless of where they land, at least they aren't using Windows

Yall remember that scene in Inception where the old people go to someone's basement and dream all day with that machine?

Wasn't there a basketball coach that got fired for saying basically this, albeit not as...elegantly?

Dilly dilly, Mullvad is great. I prefer it over ProtonVPN just for how lightweight and simple it is

Bingo,I think people forget Valve went out of their way to make their profit margin razor thin, or at a slight loss because they know the benefit of having a device that basically assures a new paying user will be added in their Steam ecosystem. It's based on Nintendo's walled garden philosophy after all, just refined really well on PC.

It should have its own native app, it does for FireTV and Samsung iirc

Because Plex has that feature built-in with little hassle and Jellyfin does not (for now)

I did this and found it worked way better in terms of stability. Bonus is that Mullvad has a proper Linux client whereas Proton's is just a cobbled-together mess that's not worth using and is no where close to feature parity with the Windows client
