I didn’t mention Windows because I don’t remember any serious workstations using it. PCs did become good enough but it still wasn’t the professional workstation level. Though if we’re talking about computing in general, Windows has been the king ever since 95 or even 3.0.

Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?

Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it’s not their competitor at all.

Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It’s always been private.

I think it’s because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

Ok Wayland shill.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I’m all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it’s basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

It’s not really complicated. It’s called “pushing not ready software to production”.

What’s the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

Hmm it could’ve been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

I installed Debian at least 3 times and don’t remember ever seeing that message.

How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.

The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I’m really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.

Well I personally think having to read documentation ,manually set up sudoers and add repos is worse for the first impression than installing a distro that mostly just works.

Debian is not a beginner distro. It requires some knowledge and advanced setup. Mint is the default for new users nowadays.

SteamOS for PC is long outdated and similar distros are made specifically for handheld hardware. Go for a general desktop or gaming distro instead.
