Also make sure the software really works, one of the main issues with Linux adoption by hardware manufacturers is their lack of dedication to it. In Brazil, for example, most brands that ship with a Linux distro (except for DELL, which ships with Ubuntu) ship with basically digital waste (unmantained, poorly developed distros) just to make the hardware cheaper, because they know people will get it to just install a pirated copy of Windows in it.
Can we please, in the year of the lord and savior, stop linking to flatkill for once? They have been debunked at least 5 different times at this point, so let me link to a couple of them: …gitlab.io/…/Flatpak-an-insecurity-nightmare/
Reason n.1: a stabler distro that doesn’t lose when it comes to being up to date, as the equivalent to arch is rawhide
Reason n.2: a better, less toxic community
Reason n.3: Fedora is community-based, it is sponsored by RH but it does not dictate what the project does
Reason n.4: fedora docs is really good (and getting better), the only documentation locked behind a login is RH’s, fedora’s always been open to read and to contribute
Read what I said again. It is not automatically bad, and it doesn’t mean it can’t be poorly used or poorly understood by the ones collecting it. It just means that it is an effective way to understand how your users are using your product.
Putting Mozilla (which from what I can tell is doing as much as they can trying to collect this telemetry data in a way that can’t be used to identify its users) in the same domain as Microsoft, which collects pretty much everything it can to sell to third party advertisers is ridiculous as best and disingenuous at worst.
People really need to kill that notion that telemetry is automatically bad. If the information they are collecting is minimal, as non-identifiable as possible and actually being used to help develop the browser, it’s a good thing.
Yes, turbo nerds in the back, specially being opt-out, opt-in telemetry is pretty much useless for trying to understand the majority of your user base.
They’ve basically been the biggest partner with Microsoft to try and launch an ARM ecosystem for Windows. The oldest ARM laptops were made by them AFAIK
I personally see as benefiting us Linux users by forcing the rare website that “doesn’t work with your operating system” to work if they want to reach that sweet over-a-billion-user Android market. Win-win for pretty much everyone.
all the necessary things are already here on the linux side AFAIK the only thing left is a stable release of their drivers with support for it, which should come relatively soon
They are a video creator first and foremost, not a writer for a blog or a magazine. It’s like demanding a janitor to make and serve you a meal just because they work in a kitchen.
If they are so misleading and inaccurate, then I’m all ears to why.
Again, I’m not against the project or the team, I just don’t like the direction S76 went for their own thing, instead of improving other existing projects. Having a full Rust stack is potentially pretty great though, and I’m all in for what it might become in the future, but this attitude about even the slightest of criticism speaks volumes about the people working on it.
