Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project. Here's the file they don't want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). "Technology is apolitical" bros can bite me.

Problematic in what sense? I don't know much about NixOS or its "scene" or whatever.

I had to make an installer for someone who wanted to install Bazzite which I was disappointed to learn is yet another FEDora RAT.

A large part of tHe NiXOs CoMmUnItY is MIC like Anduril. Which yes is a big whammy.

There are other divides too but this is the most morally hazardous.

Oh yeah absolutely.

Yep, we/they even re-elected an anduril employee to the steering committee (I put him literally last on my ballot and tried to campaign for others to do the same but I guess it wasn't enough). I mostly stopped interacting with the community after that. The tech is cool, Nixpkgs is a goldmine of knowledge comparable to ArchWiki, but the community turned into a nazi bar :/

Tomberek has been voted in last place the most of all candidates. Not something ballot count takes into account.

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure the ballot count did take that into account, it was a Meek STV (single-transferrable vote), so if a candidate was voted low in preference lists a lot they generally wouldn't win. The issues is that while a lot of people put him last, more people didn't.

Putting someone in 10th or in last place makes almost no practical difference, enough people put him among the first places to get him in.

CachyOS

What's the selling point for CachyOS? Is it basically the gaming distro based on Arch that is not SteamOS?

[-] ATS1312@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, basically. And its set up to be a much simpler install than Arch.

Again, it beat Windows at Windows gaming.
