  • If you want a non-terminal os based on linux you just have to make something like android or chromeos or steamdeckos.
    Those are and pretty popular, so I don’t know who can claim linux is “terminal obsessed” it’s just a kernel and there is a wide diversity of os based on it.

    Debian , fedora , suse etc might all be “obsessed” with the terminal.
    For me that’s just the obvious economical way to offer features. decent GUI costs a lot more to develop and document - so you have to have less features for a given amount of dev time. Or you have google /valve/microsoft type amounts of resources to spend.

    I always thought this “year of linux” thing was a meme to make fun of canonical or idiotic tech journalists .
    Is anyone realitsitcally interested in volunteering their time to win over legions of Microsoft fanboys. Fuck me sounds like hell.

    And frankly the use of terminal is going to be far from the first blocker to linux adoption for those who don’t even know they’re using windows or mac.






  • Those 2 Israelis were probably supporting hamas and spreading hamas propaganda and eating jewish babies. why else would they be in gaza? Real journalists can get all the evidence they need sitting in Tel Aviv to do honest unbiased journalism. They shoudl be working on articles about all the nice upcoming new beachfront luxury properly development opportunity in south-west israel.
    It’s anti-semetic to fall for these journalist costumes being worn by all these hamas agents - the world should be grateful it is now safe from their lies and suicide bombs.

  • i think xfce people in general don’t fuck around with all that distro gobshitery. it’s fast, works and isn’t fancy.

    gnome and kde people more likely to want to show off all the bullshit effects they’re wasting all that ram on.

    You wanna know what my ram has in it . . . data, glorious data.
    Albeit being inefficiently monged into terrible statistical models by some shitty code i wrote.

    Yes, I can live without youtube I survived the 1980s and 1990s - I’m not saying my life is or was “meaningful” though - that’ll be discernable if the maggots enjoy their dinner whenever the time comes.

    I also think there were at least a few generations of humans before that, some of whom may think they led at least slightly meaningful lives.

    I don’t think youtube makes anyone’s life more or less “meaningful”, it’s just a way to pass the time - but that’s just my opinion on carbon-shuffling in general. If you accept peoples own objectives instead of mine, then youtube might help them learn stuff - but even then I’d look to measure the content of their consequent actions, much more than learning in abstract. They’ve still got to put their new knowledge together with skills , practice and the real world circumstances to before anyting “meaningful” happens - and that’s due as much to their hard work as much as to their teacher.

    But I do prefer to watch a few people’s videos on there as entertainment, only a few of them post on that p2p thing “lbry” or whatever so i dont use that. I will continue to watch youtube videos given the choice, and not having somethign better to do, until those people move their videos to somewhere else.

    I’ve recently been finding out that freetube client removes much of the front end unpleasantness.
