  • How about it’s not your fault that there isn’t a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it’s the politicians fault, we elect politician’s and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that’s just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won’t implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy




  • I don’t think Linux caters to the casual crowd, maybe in the distant future, because it takes a lot of effort to create a good user experience, those resources are not available to distro makers.

    In the PC world you have some different setups of devices, apple has it a bit easier they explicitly choose the hardware that they want to Support.

    Also casual people have a hard time connecting a printer to their computer or fixing the wireless wifi.

    I can’t imagine them fixing anything via the terminal. My SOs runs Manjaro and she is like that, but I usually fix her laptop when she has issued.

    I love Linux for what it is, this toy for a developer that can automate and customize stuff relatively simple, with a large opinionated community.

    I would instead rather focus on those thing, than seeing Linux trying to compete with windows/Mac.


  • Mostly first Linux users will download Ubuntu, latest release, and I’ve not used a more bug ridden OS in my life. Everyday there was a new bug that made me have to hard reset my computer (mind you this is 24.0.4 noble). Display was grey after login, didn’t want to login, laptop screen doesn’t wake up, Wayland crashes and doesn’t start backup. And that is the bugs that forced me to hard reset my laptop, then we have a whole slew of other bugs.

    I mean some new getting recommend Ubuntu will have a horrible experience, and most of them do









  • Dude what are you on about, there is no rust programmer that want to teach fucking rust to anyone who doesn’t want learn…

    This has nothing to do with C vs Rust, this has to do with security and enabling more people to develop stuff for Linux.

    These so called kernel maintainers you see in the conference are only mainting the parts that they use for their filesystem, they are mainting the API, they are paid by companies who have sold support for ext4, xfs or brtfs etc… . Of course they don’t want to make their jobs any harder by learning a new language.

    And of course they obfuscate the API with random naming and undocumented usage, because they want to make it hard for anyone else using trying to use the APIs.

    If they don’t want to be part of the improvement, then go do something else. Yes rust is better than C for this, because guess what - there are still CVEs being made, because it’s impossible to catch everything with you eyes.
