It all depends on what you actually want to do.

I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that’s SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.

My laptop has Fedora because it’s up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.

On my Pi’s I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it’s slow unchanging nature there.

On my desktop, less so.

But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it’s all about the initial setup.

Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.

That’s a personal decision by a distro.

Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don’t follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it’s bad practice to hack together your own versions.

Fedora rebases it’s packages every 6 months, so it’s never left far behind.

They also don’t produce usable amounts of light.

I was just wondering if anyone was going to provide an upgrade path for my NanoPi Neo 3.

This looks small enough to do that job!

[Edit] Checked out the specs, I don’t think this is going to beat the NanoPi Neo 3 at all.

But it’s good to see other folks try to make the machines tiny.

I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.

Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.

AMD T14 Gen 2, and it’s still great.

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.

Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.

When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don’t distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.

So you don’t understand what a monopoly is?

Because you don’t have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

Nope. Fuck them, don’t give them any market share.

What do you mean I can’t install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.

It died a long time before that.

It’s also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.

Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.

No idea, I got it on a Humble Bundle about 15 years ago.

So true. Although I didn’t always use VATS, sometimes I enjoyed the options.

I really enjoyed Osmos back in the day. Like a relaxing Katamari.

I enjoyed Fallout 3. But I agree with the general point. RPG/FPS’ rarely gel.

Same, we got married while she was pregnant and we were emigrating.

That was 2010.

I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.

Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.

My point is not that you can’t

I’d just like to remind the passing reader that creating an open source project does not entitle you to do whatever you want and tell people to “make their own thing” if they don’t like it.

It was literally what you said, even if you didn’t mean it to be. And I don’t think that being a dictator for your project is necessarily “toxic”, I have projects that take contributions and I work on others that do not. Bikeshedding, and horrible politics, are both real things and sometimes for your own sanity, not engaging is the only option because community is not the reason I work on some tasks.

Some projects are just natural candles to moths who will talk to the projects like this:

Fuck that.
