Oh man "blue light specials" and the like used to drive me nuts. I never understood why people would buy things they had no plans on buying.

It was a zero percent savings to me.

Dunbar's number especially when used to contextualize the potential limits of human organization, such as relying only hiring friends and family. The chances that of the 200 people who probably know pretty well also happen to be the best candidate for an important task is low. Most exaggerating case of this is presidential nominees for positions. Like of course it's the same guy for a few admins, it's who they know that is remotely qualified.

Supporting both snaps and apparmor above selinux would be disappointing to me. Snaps more so, I at least get why AppArmor has supporters

Ehh to snaps. That would 100% be the first thing of support to drop if I were them. That said it cool to see more immutable distros experimenting, I wonder how much overlap there is the Kalpa since it is btfs based.

Honestly there definitely still seems some good space for innovation in the immutable space before we "figure it out", so the more smart people experimenting the better!

Honestly I've been trying to figure out how to convince more people in my credit union why FOSS matters.

I honestly do love the aspect of it.

Exactly I fully expect Russia to continue cutting edge early 2000s os development

Tbh I go back to peertube any time I hit a performance issue. Which is more often then you would think, but I think it's because I'm a Firefox user with adblock.

For real the upload date is super needed in tech data because stuff gets updating so much

There are frenemies in the some markets for sure. But no "the marketplace" is a collaborative thing, corporations are collaborative ventures, etc

Almost every human experience is marked by systems of collaboration, even if competition is also allowed within that system.

Also agreed, and again fuck Adobe.

The whole UX of using a computer is a collaborative project between hardware, os, and apps (and maybe networks). Any friction in that process is born in part by both sides.

I know what you are saying, and fuck Adobe, but the friction of Adobe products not working well on Linux is because Linux isn't made to work well with corporate driven drm software. Unlike Microsoft, the Linux foundation isn't likely to make a backroom deal to ensure that Linux will be developed in a way to keep their drm private and help them strip the rights of their users.

That leads to friction it is Linuxs fault for not accepting Adobes bs here. As it is also Adobes fault for sacrificing technical excellence in lu of artificial scarcity.

I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I'll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.
