It’s being badly damaged by thousands of lazy AI-written merge requests to the extent that many have stopped accepting them entirely.

It’s also effectively DDOS’ing many open source sites (and the rest of the open internet), straining what limited funding they have.

So I would say a resounding yes.

I mean they ignore all the other laws, let’s add another to the list.

Breaking news: AI is worthless. Stop using it.

I dunno what that means. I gave what I felt like a very simple take and this person started to argue with me, not the other way around.

You did say simple…

If it has a apt package, it’s as easy as “sudo apt install xyz”

This is the kind of ignorant shit that relegates Linux to nerd circles. What do you do with this information? What is xyz, and exactly xyz because if you get a single letter wrong it does not work. Further the user has to already know what they want, which a new user will not.

Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.

I’ve just given you several examples of how it’s not.

For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.

Just making my point for me now.

You wrote it was mostly for servers

No I wrote that’s it’s more commonly used in servers.

I don’t think you really understand the implications.

I don’t think you do.

Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.

I’m not talking about availability. I’m talking about comes pre-installed so the user doesn’t have to go out and find them to use basic functionality.

Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.

I did not say it was not great or popular.

There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.

This is not the dunk you think it is…

no fractional scaling? thats a DE/WM feature not distro related

Lots of distros these days come out of the box with that pre-configured, so no, it’s not.

only includes default apps? you mean following the DE’s developer’s vision?

Yes.

Older drivers won’t support newer hardware. Only includes default apps from gnome and KDE. No DE tweaks to speak of. No performance optimizations. No Gear Lever. No fractional scaling implemented, etc. etc.

Debian is more like AOSP. It’s a starting point. Super bare. More commonly used in servers and such.

LosslessCut for simple cutting and concatenating

By that rationale, no machine is “private”, as they store all of your personal files and documents! 😬

Which laptops are going to be sold with Fedora “out of the box”?

Let me introduce you to alternativeto.net

I’ve discovered lots of cool software this way.

He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn’t say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once…

None of that ever happened. In fact he regularly declines sponsorships from various companies with ethical conflicts.

Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn’t deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!

When you run a large company, this sort of dumb shit happens. He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be) and hired a CEO to handle logistics. You act like it was done maliciously.
