@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i do. I love Debian. I’m from Indiana it’s a requirement lol. Ian Murdock grew up an hour from me. But I guess I try to understand with the big guys they are working towards desktop linux. normal people arent like us. honestly until theres a comprehensive set of GUI tools for managing systemd and people never have to touch a terminal GNU Linux wont have a place in home desktop market. Its getting there though. I hope people keep the choice alive though.
@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace you’re correct a lot of people agree thats what opensource promises me. not that i will like everything some distribution does but that if i dont like something I have a choice if its a big enough concern I will switch but i also don’t know everything and make dumb choices sometimes and break stuff like my OS install and my life lol I thought meth was a good idea once for 6 years it was not I pick my fights that matter and sleep with one eye open on the rest
@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i cant tell the future. eating a burrito opens the door to needing to take a shit but i still do it. using anything you didn’t completely produce or engineer yourself opens you up to having to accept some level of things. idk i guess at that point you build your own thing choose your own tool’s but the #EFF works hard to keep an eye on things but buddy there is only so much we can do before you just have to turn it off and live jn the woods on squirrel meat
@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i guess i haven’t heard anything about any of that happening with linux as far as i know the whole age verification stuff didn’t affect linux and i haven’t bought any linux its freely available you can choose to use it or dont and its he source code is still available so its not like you cant look at it too so im really not sure where any of that applies here
@shrugs @ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace people don’t like change. I almost had a nervous breakdown when gnome switched to gnome shell, still hate using it. better or worse I personally like systemd. You can use it or don’t but change means progress. systems are more complex than they were 20 years ago and systemd gives me one place to manage everything
@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace ill start another argument lol i like timers and haven’t used cron since i learned to create systemd timers
