yes, though if you can’t wait for lineageos to be available for you device, you can flash a GSI
that was my intention. thanks for putting it into words
yeah, the meme template I used is intentionally like that with the trollface and such. sorry if it bothered you. I had to recently interact with one of these dis-services and it made me think of this.
thanks for the insightful comment
it’s just the beginning
i don’t even use discord but still get those emails every year(I think someone accidentally made an account with my mail). it’s crazy that these companies update their privacy policies every year, refining and adding more convoluted clauses.
does it sound off?
environmentalists would consider apple to be more than just a contender
thanks, accessibility is something I tend to focus on a lot.
costs me 100 dollars each year just so that I can push an app to their app store, even if I make zero bucks off of it(and if I did, they’d want an additional 30% share of it).
not to mention that I can’t develop an app without a mac – an artificial requirement created by them.
it is expensive for developers that aren’t in the west
greatness and freedom™
Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.
by work, I meant actual work, and not fixing something.
Last time I fixed something was a few weeks ago. It was MPV needing an update(which was totally my fault, as I often forget to do updates) as a yt-dlp script wasn’t working.
As for something breaking, my experience has been the opposite. Probably because I don’t own any newest hardware and don’t do much gaming, or any other stuff that might require some proprietary service for optimal functioning.
Also, my experience with the community has been excellent so far. Even my basic questions(e.g.: dual boot) were answered promptly and nicely by the community(I mostly use #linux on IRC, or distro-specific forums like linux mint forum).
I’d suggest you to give GNU/Linux one more try. Probably try out something like Nobara if you’re into games. Or maybe Linux mint if you want it to just work.
Maybe you just weren’t lucky the first time.
And don’t worry about fake internet points. They mean nothing.
I love GNU/Linux.
Before I used Debian, I’d constantly fight with my operating system. Every time I opened michaelsoft binbows(which would take ages to open), I’d make sure that simplewall is running, so that bill doesn’t get any more info, after every 180 days, I’d run MAS to renew my office 365. I’d manually sync time since windows would use that same domain to send telemetry.
Now everytime I turn on my computer, the swirl of Debian greets me in a flash, my i3 being ready even before I sit.
I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates . It is an operating system that never makes me feel its presence. For that I’m grateful to people like Ian, Stallman, Linus, among countless others making my life better.
then you mustn’t have seen LATAM memes! they are super uncanny.
