They likely have their own homegrown alternatives, you think Xi the Poo would allow such corruption of his people by giving them access to corrupting capitalist software such as non approved encrypted messaging services?

My only issue is banking apps that require the play integrity API

Maybe Nextcloud? Jellyfin?

Anyone knows if they’ll have everything upstreamed in the kernel?

Edit: also, if they’ll go through the trouble of getting Google to consider some form of android as verified per the Google play integrity API? (Pls work with the graphene folks)

What is the buffer (in months) that framasoft has when it comes to donations? (Aka, how long can you operate if all sources of funding suddenly dry up)

This one should be getting resolved soon! With the new global shortcut portal

Not the guy who first commented, but NixOS is fun because you can have the whole config in a git repo, and can easily reproduce. Main drawback is that Nix as a language is insane and that a lot of packages still aren’t available

Zorin OS because they said it was windows like

Sshutle? It essentially makes traffic go through ssh from anywhere to anywhere. If you ssh into your machine, use sshuttle towards your local machine, I think you should be good

Home server! Not sure how CUDA support is, but exo/petals node for AI and stuff? Immich for photos, Nextcloud for files, homeassistant!

Agreed here. On CPU side, don’t go with Intel 13th or 14 th gen, mostly due to the manufacturing defects, check gamers nexus on YouTube if you want to catch back up to speed, the new Intel stuff is fine manufacturing wise, terrible performance, check if the prices are good. GPU, NVIDIA usually has kinkier/ more annoying drivers, but if you want to play with AI or anything like that, NVIDIA is still better.

Took way too long, but finally some support from the top leadership for rust?

Yes and no. You need custom deivers for keyboard, backlight, speakers, webcam, touchpad… basically everything that isn’t the CPU and display

Well, right now I’m experimenting with an old mini PC, and using a couple of USB HDDs im creating a ZFS pool to serve as storage for an email server

I’d like a link for the repo pls

What’s the model, just for starters

Tell that to the average computer user, and they’ll crap their pants. I’m all for the command line being there for power users and people who actually have to manage complex systems, but if you want Linux to go to the moon, you have to consider the average Joe

Wow. This is kind of idiotic, hope that both implement a gui option

Linux appears to largely be done with the transition to the modern tech stack (wayland/Pipewire) and can now focus on getting more features. Packaging hasn’t improved (flatpaks largely stagnated, snaps barely evolved and kept the same issues, so did app images and system packages. On the gaming front, while steamOS has gained users, market share is still somewhat anemic, and support for multiplayer games is now worse than before. Desktop usage did show some ok growth though and now has a solid 4%

Man is great to check quickly what something does. I use atuin as my shell history to make it a lot easier to search
