europe is not on the american government’s shit list and you mentioned forking; so you’re as well aware as i am that removing the russians from linux maintainer’s contributors list will not impact american allies in europe.

your question is clearly posed in bad faith and i suspect that its intention is something other than discussing what the trajectory of the open source world will be like in the future when the american government has control over it and starts expanding that control onto other open sourced projects.

be sure to leave out sensitive things like passwords, names, etc.

a fork only pertains to the source in that repo; there’s whole other multitudes of ecosystems surrounding something like the linux-kernel project that can make forking an non-viable option and that’s the point of the government control; it’s merely a linchpin to keep the status quo afloat (for now) and as the status quo slips, they’re going to clinch harder.

can you type the command history into your terminal and share it with us because it’s important to know where the package comes from since it’s unlikely that any of proton’s products are already in your repository list.

the american government undeniably controls the linux kernel now and soon other open source projects will be under their control as well; we need this now more than ever.

Ukraine US proxies

not for much longer if trump has anything to do with it.

to be fair: men with privilege & bodies like that get to treat the whole world as their playground. lol

i was going to extol the virtues of making your own brownies; but now i won’t because i know i’m not as cool as the guy in this video. lol

btw: where is this video from?

beverly hills is like mexico city: they’ve both got a lot of americans in them right now thanks to money, but that will change with time when their original inhabitants re-surge and reclaim both places for themselves again. lol

– a year later and after everyone stopped paying attention to the lie that biden is going to stop the genocide.

i hope that my 17 year old car holds out a little bit longer so that I can get a chinese EV at 1/2 the price of the telsa and with 95% of the capability; i will no longer buy american cars.

i feel that x11 support is still better than wayland’s at this stage and if you’re specifically wondering about plasma, it only just recently starting officially working with wayland in its most recent release so you’re probably not yet left behind.

i started purchased linux laptops & workstations from a linux company a few years ago and that ensured that i don’t have problems like the one you’re experiencing and lemmy has taught me that all the smooth sailing w those linux rigs have given me, has made me fall behind; so i’m buying the cheapest and most proprietary windows laptop i can find and installing linux on it to use as my daily driver to sit next to my work laptop.

we’re all watching the americans slow walk another wounded knee massacre in real time in front of our eyes via social media and i hope that by the 3rd time it comes around again that we have something like tiktok around (also) again to remind us how the sausage that is western lifestyle is made. (and IT WILL come again like it did in the past in plenty of examples before and after wounded knee).

i’m certain that liberals will continue to ignore it; as they do now; but there will be fewer of them in the future thanks to trump’s accelerationism and that will make it harder for them to maintain their echo chambers in places like reddit or facebook or the .world instance.

who? nato or the russians?

i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.

the proton package was already in your repository list?

are you able to share your yum repo configuration?

this and also this sounds like a project ripe for teaching yourself configuration management with something like ansible &/or terraform; which will get you paid since they’re in such high demand right now.

i wonder if it’s a sign of things to come from the foundation since they’re never going to be able to viably compete with the likes of google or microsoft.

also: the little panics if it shows who tried to reach you and it’s a ceo; so you wake yourself up; get out of bed; log in to your computer and see that it’s just an “lol”. 🤌

is support a factor in your decision? if so i would go with opensuse since it has options to let get enterprise support should you end up needing it. (anecdotally: redhat & canonical’s support are better; ESPECIALLY landscape since you mentioned nvidia & proprietary codecs, but it is very pricey)
