The insanity of pushing this while the Horizon scandal which ruined so many innocent lives is still ongoing.

Because developing a tool solely for a roundtrip test is probably a waste of time. Perhaps it’s an easier exercise than I think but I would have thought you could manually test it far quicker and more thoroughly than by automating the process

They don’t need to sell anything to stay profitable, they just need to tip the right people to get the subsidies rolling in

Google will bribe trump and this’ll be undone immediately

Can’t Linux communities be just as bad? There’s constant bickering over systemd, snaps, canonical, red hat.

Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

Tbf the pricks are probably just selfishly giving their income straight to some wealthy landlord

I gave up on Rainbow Six as well. I didn’t really understand the plot.

Apparently I was meant to be on the side of Team America: World Police and not sympathise with the environmentalists trying to save the world from corruption and climate change.

You do know you can swear on the fucking Internet, right?

Plug in air fresheners.

If I rent an Airbnb which has them I will hunt every single one down and it’s going straight out the window.

Do you find yourself correcting people who order a panini instead of a panino?

Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?

1. You get less of the drink you paid for
2. It ends up watered down.
3. Cold = less flavour
4. It’s too fucking cold

And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice

I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.

About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It’s so unnecessary. I’m genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that’s a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you’re fiddling enough with WSL that you’re running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You’re better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.

I’m very intrigued by your definition of Liberalism. It doesn’t correlate with liberalism across the world.

Some right wingers are upset that in some European countries there are consequences for posting death threats on Twitter

I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

May as well just install Ubuntu then.

For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.
