The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

• Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
• There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
• If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
• There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
• There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.

I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.

Intel UHD graphics.

I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.

Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it’s compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3… 2… 1…

You did not include the scale in the photo.

Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc.

Yup, that’s how it’s supposed to be. You turn on your PC to get your office work done, not to reinstall display drivers each day.

Gone are the days when you needed to compile your own modem drivers to access Internet from your Linux PC.

The Linux experts here are using their technical knowledge to perform advanced tasks like setting up server clusters for AI-generated furry porn, they are definitely not the ‘average’ Linux user.

It’s not the same without two little screws jangling about

Are there any new phones or tablets using Tegra SoC? It seems like they are only used in car electronics

Because OpenVPN lacks the most important feature of them all - it will not remind you to top up your account balance.

I went with OpenVPN because it’s installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

I don’t think that Wireguard is more secure, its’s simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.

Because installing some random app is worse than simply using pre-installed system service.

Both are security audited, but I’d still rather trust OpenVPN.
