    There are different types of users. Those who want something to work out of the box and those who like to put in the work to make the os into something personal. Usually, at least with the people I’ve come across, if you give them something the “works” but if they can tinker and make it better they’d learn. Now, not everybody is like that. Some just want to browse the Internet and play games. Flatpak, while not perfect, is a solution to a problem. Not everybody wants to adjust config files and/or configure wine bottles for every game.

    As for your comment about drobbins… I can’t argue. The greatest thing about Linux is the freedom to use what ever distro works for your needs. If switching from one because it doesn’t do what you want, by all means, switch. But, if you are more computer literate and like to learn about how the os actually works; it doesn’t matter which distro, you can figure out how to fix the problem and contribute to the community so others can fix it too.

    Ah, typical Arch user response. “Everything is bloat. Stop having fun.” If it works for somebody else, let them. I get where you’re coming from, needlessly adding things because you can, leads to enshittification. But, trying new ways of doing things is the whole point. If it works and the majority of people use it then it succeeded. Bloat or not, if it gets new users to switch then it’s a net positive. Plus, Gentoo>Arch. If you don’t use custom flags and debloat the kernel you’re argument is invalid.



  • I know it sounds harsh, but I hope they don’t come back. If they get treated like this once and then get the “opportunity” to come back on a provisional basis what’s going to stop this administration from making camps where they are allowed to live only to work on a farm with no time off? What about the off seasons? Do they still get to stay? The ones who’ve left are the lucky ones. If history has taught us anything is that deporting en mass is just the first step. If nothing causes a major change in leadership, well, it’s been a good run. Hopefully, from the ashes rises something better.





  • From what I’ve been reading Trump manipulated the market (illegal) and his “friends” were let in on the scheme with “insider” information and then used that information to buy and sell stocks (illegal). What recourse do we have in this situation? Everybody involved is either in a position of power or has enough money to further bankrupt anybody who wasn’t in the know…
