I’m not a programmer and I’ve been dual booting for 25 years.

If you like or need the latest software, use a rolling distro. I use Manjaro (boo, hiss) and really like it. But if you don’t want the Arch users to beat you up and pants you, I hear Endeavour OS is pretty good.

Bonus points for making Arch users seeth because you call Manjaro, Arch.

With prices like this, it’s kind of performative activism though. It severely limits access and makes it like privacy is a luxury only a few can afford. That’s a weird message to be sending out.

That really sucks and isn’t a good look for Purism.

Their prices are insane, $999.00 for a 11.5" tablet? $799.00 for a mini-PC? Are they fucking mental? Who would buy these?

Linux works for roughly 80% of what I do. The BIG missing piece is audio production. The software is mostly okay, it’s the actual audio system that’s the problem. Audio on Linux sucks big floppy donkey dicks. Yes, I know all about JACK (complicated and never works the way you think it should), RT kernels, Pipewire, etc. It’s all terrible.

Sorry, no.

CSS ruined the internet and it will ruin this as well.

Pipewire and Pipewire Jack drop-in replacement. Also with and without a rt kernel. They exhibited the exact same behaviour.

I couldn’t get latency down enough to be usable. Audio on Linux is not good.

I’m not on YouTube shouting about it, though.

I’d argue that it really doesn’t matter. Linux has taken over everything else. And the more MS fucks up, the more likely people will look for alternatives. I do believe many will go to Mac, but Linux is clearly picking up some of the slack as well. Microsoft wouldn’t be the first tech company to take a tumble. Never say never.

Because he’s obnoxious and so sure of his bad takes as if they’re fact, as opposed to shit opinions. Did I mention he’s obnoxious?

I can’t stand this guy. That has nothing to do with the video, other than I probably won’t watch it because of how much I dislike him.

The main reason I like Winamp: Advance Visualization Studio. And skins. Bring back skins in applications. I don’t care if 99% are ugly and unusable. We don’t need jerks like Gnome team deciding what everything should look like.

That kind of depends on the business, doesn’t it? I’m sure there are plenty of small businesses that don’t even know what a SMB consulting space is. I suspect there a lot of people running businesses off their laptop. You might have a narrow view of what constitutes a small business.

Small businesses that can’t afford a dedicated IT department and pro licenses are gonna love this. I’m sure Linux will pick up more users but the real winner will likely be Apple and Macs.
