Getting really sick of painstakingly migrating to some Cool New Technical Thing With Superpowers and then whoops, It's All Ethics Violations after a while.
First #Kagi - CEO is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: suicide warnings, .ru indexes, Brave collab, etc.
Now #Nix / #NixOS - BDFL is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: toxic members, shitty governance, MIC sponsorship, etc.
@bitprophet Genuinely exhausting. I'm picking my next OS in part based on whether I've ever heard anything about it, on the theory that it means it has its house in order and isn't trying to sell me religion. That sounds like a nice place to be, for a while.
@danderson@bitprophet I don't know if it's really better, but Arch has mostly done well for me. And it has a large community - they've gone through the growing pains & maturation involved.
@nogweii@bitprophet Yup, Arch is what I used to use, and aside from struggles with managing the system state (my arch installs only get bigger and messier over time), it was pretty nice. The other ones on my list right now are Fedora and Fedora Silverblue, just because I don't think I've ever given them a deep look and they seem nice.
