Ive been using pop-os for my desktop for years. Ive had no update headaches, roll back issues, or anything else that would compel me to swap distros for one that made these things better.

So to answer your question:

None of the above are compelling features that justify the work to switch off an already very stable distro.

No problem mate. The thread is a mess, but if you read the comments below the top pinned one, you’ll see most of the salient points that pissed people off. The “color” i mentioned above came from all over that thread, with some of it deleted. I know he edited/deleted the “triggered” comment when he was called out, but he never expanded on why he claimed the GOP was the “party of the little guy” and why all the “corporate dems needed to be thrown out” to get anything done. He also opted not to respond at all to people asking why he thought the party of tech billionaires was suddenly going to crack down on tech billionaires besides saying he really liked J.D Vance, a tech millionaire whose political run was funded by, get this, tech billionaire Peter theil.

Dude fawned very publicly over tech billionaire maga, who will do clearly do nothing for privacy and monopoly busting, while pretending that the real issue is chuck shumers and establishment dems.

The bias is clear and prominent.

Here is a general write up about the CEO showing their maga colors.

More happened in the reddit thread though that added some more elements, like the ceo opting for a new user name with “88” in it (a common right wing reference), his unprompted use of the phrase “didnt mean to trigger you,” him evasively refusing to clarify what his stance actually was because “that would be more politics,” on and on. You can read through that thread here, although proton corporate are mods, so i have no idea what they may have deleted at this point.

The thread was full of “mask on” behavior that is pretty transparent to anyone experienced with the alt right on the internet.

Most test animals have a great deal of similarities to humans, white mice specifically.

Cool. That gives people context about what this FOSS app does for them.

Thanks for adding that info.

What’s Nextbike?

Looks like it’s some like of bike rental Software based on the git repo? Where is Nextbike in use?

Open Bike is an Android client to interact with NextBike rentals.

Yup, this was a ban wave that hit Linux desktop and Steamdeck players.

Have a problem? Use xargs.

Now you have two problems.

As a heads up, your readme has “machine” misspelled as “maschine” in two spots:

• On your current maschine

• On another maschine

Looks like thats the german spelling?

That’s a lot of words to say “I was wrong about windows not having built in tooling” but you did include it, so good on you.

Linux being mainly enthusiasts is a detriment, not a positive. Windows appealing to everyone is something Linux needs to work more towards, and thankfully it slowly is. Bifurcating the different use cases into “no, only enthusiasts over here in linux land and you casuals over on windows” is a problem, not the solution.

Both OSs can be used for serious or casual purposes. That should be applauded, and the better elements of both should be considered honestly. Making easily rebuffed strawmen about what Windows can or cant do isn’t helpful to anyone.

Im sure there are linux users that don’t ever use ssh and would look at you quizzically if you asked them about bash. The fact that linux has built more of an enthusiast community doesn’t change the operating system. I would be entirely wrong if I said you had to install a tightVNC viewer/server to connect to a remote linux system, or install golang to write a simple linux script.

You should criticize Windows, as it’s woefully user hostile, but do so in a reasonable way. Pretending that it doesn’t have excellent built in tooling doesn’t help your case.

I live and work in both worlds, and neither of your examples are true.

Powershell/cmd line/wmi is pretty deep tooling at this point. Windows being object instead of text based is a different thought process, but it is deeply powerful. Simple one line powershell scripts can do a lot.

Ssh is also a built in feature now, since Windows 10. You can just enable it, but there are also tons of clients that aren’t mobaxterm like putty/kitty/royal ts/etc. Its also not the primary text interface to work interactively with other windows machines, so it doesn’t have the same importance in the windows world.

I much prefer linux in general, but it’s best to criticize microsoft for its actual faults, not imaginary ones.

The jpeg is strong, but if you look closely she is covered with scabs and sores.

How ami I going to do version control without being able to email myself “Newcode-today-new-newist-morenew-actuallynew-latest.txt?”

Uptime on my old exchange servers roughly matched my ISPs uptime. O365 uptime is now : My ISPs - 0365s uptime. Real improvement there.

But hey, now when email goes down I just point to their admin dashboard and shrug at people. It’s a lot simpler once you get over how much harder it is.

Sounds like you want a siem like Wazuh. Its agent can collect journald logs from any number of systems. It also has a gui you can interact with to parse logs.

Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.

Desperation is a powerful motivator.

He worked for the gaming site/podcast “Giantbomb” years ago. Pretty sure the image macro is pulled from one of their podcast videos.
