How do you think news sites earn money?
They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.
I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).
Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.
In addition the sites contain advertisements.
Only these 2:
Because they:
Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…
Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)
I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:

Hope these will prove useful to you :)
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.
Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.
I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.
Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.
For me the experience has been:
Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…
Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.
Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.
As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…
By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.
Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…
Why?
It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.
2 points you’ll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:
Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community…
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.
Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:
Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P
All the Arch niceness,
with fewer bugs / breakage
and easier to use.
Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.
Update your system frequently,
that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.
Waydroid is made for Wayland.
You can however run it on X-Server,
through a Wayland session window
(e.g. KWin_Wayland, Cage, Weston, …):

I wrote a tool to help improve the user experience on X-Server,
however currently it only supports KDEs Kwin_Wayland:

Oh I see, thank you!
Will definitely play around with that tomorrow :)
High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that’s not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄
Well I’m not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.
However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.
Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?
Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.
For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.
Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…
I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.
Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…
E.g:
