    yea, no thanks - “the grind” mindset is just capitalism worming itself into your brain

      s/librebooted/canoebooted/

      it’s honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

      so they went from having:

      • osboot
      • libreboot

      to having:

      • canoeboot
      • libreboot

      All they seemed to have done is confuse.

        The problem is installing Linux on them is a nightmare and bring a risk of bricking them.

          also a lot of them have soldered storage of like 16 gigs, which just isn’t enough for most ppl

          Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor…

          Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn’t a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you’re not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you’ll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.

              You should, a great place to start is helping write documentation. A lot of big projects have groups that work on creating user guides and api info, some programming experience is normally required but not as much as when contributing code so it’s a great way of building understanding and confidence.

              That’s also one of my goals. I started recently with contributing to open street maps to complete the entries for my local village.

              After having to use Ubuntu at work for > 1 year, I find it hard to endure. But of course, maybe it was just the computers being slow, except for Debian KDE working perfectly well on them.

        Isn’t it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

        You’re affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I’m not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you’re a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

        How you feel about it is upto you.

        Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

          This is not a joke. If you don’t wake up at 4 am to start harassing windows users, you will never become a GNU/Linux Trillionaire.

          I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It’s probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don’t envy, but pity you.

            I clearly didn’t put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.

            And no its not THE problem, I’m able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.

      Ubuntu sucks. Not because it’s for newbies, it’s because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

      I’m running NixOs as a daily driver for a while now. It’s the first time I want to actively convince people to try out a distro. But then I realise most people around me would not want to bother learning how to configure it.

        Same. It’s very elegant. But yeah: the lacking documentation makes the learning curve way too steep for most people.

        Excuse me, sir, it’s the Gentoo bits that are supposed to be hard, not yours.

        On an unrelated note - I’m building a binhost. Currently stuck on trying to figure out a way of building packages without instaling them and not using quickpkg>
