They should have:

  • Not sell out to AI.
  • Deleted doxxing info (they already removed stuff like Mike Matei’s racist webcomics on behalf of Mike Matei).

Some problems:

  • Stability. For me, Linux on a VM (where I’m using it for development and getting myself familiarized with it) was a stability nightmare. Everything could go wrong after an update (I’m looking at you, Ubuntu 24.04), or even a restart, with no easy way to recover.
  • Lack of an easy recovery. On Windows, you can recover your OS from a faultry update easily. If a bit more things have gone wrong, just use the installer, to resurrect your own installation. On Linux, you’re on your own, and while sometimes it’s an easy fix, other times you’re better off reinstalling your OS, leading you to have to restart a lot of other things, which leads to lost time that could have spent better with doing something productive. I’ve wasted hours on recovering data from a Ubuntu 24.04 installation which decided to no longer work in GUI mode, and it ultimately ruined my sleep schedule.
  • A lot of settings are hidden deep within config files, which need manual editing, and even worse, googling, which on today’s internet, will likely lead you to an AI generated site filled with garbage. I managed to kill the Linux installation on my Raspberry Pi, which lead me to the previous point of having to reinstall, then having to google even more settings because Raspberry Pi OS had the great idea in the newer versions to “make setup easier”, thus tieing your location settings and your keyboard layout, so I had a Hungarian layout that I had to change, as it’s horrible to use for software development (a lot of commonly used characters are on the Alt Gr layer, and there’s only one Alt Gr key, the other Alt is a dedicated menu key - thanks IBM!).
  • Production software and drivers. While Wine is fine for a lot of games, but try to use software with way more sophisticated copy protection schemes. They’re already a pain to use on Windows with the original keys and such, now imagine them on a Windows emulator. Good luck with trying to find VST plugins, which copy protection can be 100% removed!

I’m not a good UX designer, but my first two rules for anything GUI related are:

  1. If it can be done by a single button press, it should be a single button press on the GUI.
  2. If it can be an easy configuration, it should be an easy configuration on the GUI.

Linux, alongside with many other projects in the FOSS community, regularly fail both of these, in favor of scripts, which are fine, but have their own issues. Your average user’s average usecase does not involve “very repetitive tasks that are just perfect for some shell scripts”.

Oh yeah, let’s get rid of a checks notes a common and basic feature of an OS, because it’s trendy with some programming languages to set everything to const, because people are not being taught what a debugger is and how to solve these issues with them…

ZILtoid1991,

I think you also want to call me a tourist, mallcore, fashiongoth, fake metal Linux user, for not wanting to join the Arch cult…😉

ZILtoid1991,

The whole “sugar is as addictive as drugs” thing comes from fitness gurus showing MRI scans of people under sugar rush and and coke, then concluded they’re thus the same exact things.

ZILtoid1991,

No thanks, the fediverse is better at it, with way less nazis and tankies, those that are here are in their own containment zones.

ZILtoid1991,

Let’s hope we also getting GPU drivers unlike on those cheaper SBCs…

ZILtoid1991,

I wonder if some big AI heads will publish some “AI enhanced” Linux distros, that will also have other issues…

ZILtoid1991,

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

The cruelty is the point.

ZILtoid1991,

Is that a Kill La Kill reference?

ZILtoid1991,

My Samsung monitor has it, and is usable for both the DP and USB-C ports. It’s there as it has a notebook docker in it, which can be repurposed to a normal USB hub on desktop.

ZILtoid1991,

Someone took “tankie” way too seriously.

7Zip >>>>> WinRAR

He just licenses an engine from GM, then put that into the Teslas. Maybe even rename the company to Otto.

ZILtoid1991,

Reminder that Zionism was built upon antisemitic myths of Jews and non-Jews cannot live together.

ZILtoid1991,

They’re trying to bring the European side of manufacturing to Hungary. We Hungarians are unhappy about it, because they get subsidized like hell.

Well, a lot of boomers think office work isn’t real work, a deadweight on the economy, and will turn kids gay thus not making (great-)grandchildren due to not getting dirty and having an air conditioner. The previous system somehow reproduced the toxic Calvinist work morals of capitalist countries, and not only the politically illiterate calls this kind of behavior “communism”, but there’s a very big number of the pensioners, whose votes can be bought by promising more underpaid manual labor to their (grand)children.

The camera thing might be him getting more and more afraid. He’s losing popularity, and even if he crushes popular movements (often by “doomerism”), there are more and more popping up. If the AI bubble burst (which will cause a financial recession) or some of his allies will fall, he can also fall too. He’s a paranoid maniac that goes everywhere in a bullet vest. He just loves his fellow autocrats, especially as he can work together with them.

His villains would be the The Reddit Atheist, and anti-pedophile activists.

ZILtoid1991,

While the Soviet system had obvious problems, they’re often exaggerated in favor of both painting communism as an ultimate evil, and obfuscate what communism (and capitalism) ultimately is, so they can continue to propagate the “right wing = small government; left wing = big government” lie.

ZILtoid1991,

I will never forget the time, when a company I applied to asked my brother if I bite or have random unexplainable violent meltdowns, once they noticed my autism. When he answered no, I was then subjected to a much harsher programming test (at the whiteboard, after he told them I had issues with my handwriting), also they concluded that the same pauses I have during speaking my native language is a proof that I don’t speak English, thus I cheated on the online tests which were in English, also the “body language course” they took told them my general lack of “signifiers of confidence” is a sign of lack of knowledge.

ZILtoid1991,

I don’t.
