Hans de Goede is singlehandly keeping it alive at this point haha. His blog is really good.

There’s a Swedish startup named Tilitis making open source, verifiably secure hardware keys, but they’re not well supported at the moment.

Yubikey probably has the widest support for things like password managers and automatic sign in.

Yeah, those arguments don’t hold up at all. Those bugs linked are not design related and could be fixed in a few months. KDE is already working on adding reconnect capabilities to plasma.

Race conditions in wlroots is fixable, and not a reason to choose x11 over Wayland.

Claims Windows is easier to use than Linux

points to a technical discussion from Linux developers, and mentions mouse gestures

How is that relevant at all to the UX of Linux Desktop vs Windows? Windows doesn’t even have mouse gestures.

There may be an extension that you can use.

I mean, Unraid makes it pretty easy to set it all up, no fussing around with the command line. It also has one of the best docker gui tools out there. I think it’s a lot nicer to use than Proxmox or TrueNAS.

They just removed support for pcimcia wifi cards, so don’t get a 20+ years old laptop that doesn’t have built in wifi.

the data is probably stored in your home directory, I think it’s in ~/.share/steam. if you delete that directory, you will probably lose your family share on that computer.

Red Hat owns Fedora, just like how they owned CentOS. I think there’s a risk that Red Hat will make more anti user moves going forward, and I also think that it’s not worth spending time learning the “Red Hat ecosystem” now that CentOS is dead. Get away from Fedora.

I’m making the same move, but I’d say a good option for most Linux users would be Debian or Arch. Solid distros with a ton of support.

Wouldn’t any sort of C++/Java/Rust Array/Vector work for this? You still have the possibility for runtime panics, but you’re never going to dereference an invalid memory address with those abstractions.

If the goal is to prevent any sort of runtime error with arrays, I’m thinking you’ll have to set some strict boundaries or risk running against the limits of computability.

Try using zram? You could probably get around 5gb of ram if you compress it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram

Lenin is not the first leader to whitewash imperialism.

Reformism is the term for a path to socialism without the use of violence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformism

Lenin did not seize absolute power out of some lofty ideal of protecting the workers. He was very motivated about reclaiming the Russian Empire and murdering any workers or separatists that were in his way. Even contemporary communists like Rosa Luxembourg recognized that. Lenin and Stalin had over 20 years to dismantle the state before the Nazis became a threat. Not to mention, the original plan was to ally with the Nazis! The leaders never had any interest in helping workers.

I’m sure that it could be argued that Sweden had Soviet influence, there was definitely a soviet-backed communist party in Sweden from 1917 until 1977.

But at the same time, Swedish Social Democracy is a completely separate ideology from Soviet Communism, and the parties that implemented these “folkhemmet” policies were 100% hostile to the Soviet Union and any Soviet influence. Sweden has never had any system of communism, nor any USSR-friendly prime ministers or ministers.

Specifically, Per Albin Hansson’s “the people’s home” ideology that he advocated for as prime minister was a reformist, anti-marxist form of social liberalism.

That’s pretty similar to the social democratic system that they had in Sweden before the 90s. Many critical services were government agencies, such as the railroad, the phone network, and the pharmacies. Health care and rental housing were handled by the municipality or the county.

Larabel has been writing headlines like that for a long time.
