GNOME 2 was different and easy to customize
GNOME is still in their KDE 4.x days where it needs time to mature.
KDE 3 was loved, KDE 4 made a ton of breaking changes, and was reviled. KDE 5/6 are now butter smooth and fixed all the issues from the 3 -> 4 transition
GNOME 4/5 will probably come back into the loved category if they start stabilizing the extension system some more
I think you agreed with me?
I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same
The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years
With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier
For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier
Fixed, thanks
Their statement is that Alpine is designed such that it is friendlier to corporations who want to lock down their devices and prevent you from modifying them.
You cannot use coreutils and have a DRM locked down device.
You can use Alpine w/ musl + busybox and make a DRM locked down device
Alpine’s licensing favors large corporation’s rights in preventing the user from modifying their device
Operating systems using coreutils favor the end user’s rights
If they can take my unlocked device by force, they can probably also break my fingers to coerce me to unlock it See also: https://xkcd.com/538/
Randall is right in pointing out you need to consider your attack vectors, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take reasonable precautions
Most people are more likely to run into the type of attack OP references than someone who can break LUKS encryption stealing their device
I wasn’t confident which requirement you were missing, but I love that error
The default in systemd, unless your distribution has modified it either globally, or for a specific service, is 90 seconds
Wasn’t France the one that started switching to Matrix and funded a bunch of improvements?
It’s great that Germany is doing the same, I just remember Matrix talking about money from France and helping the French government deploy Matrix for government use back in the day. A lot of the E2E encryption improvements were attributed to their collaboration with France at the time
That one’s especially egregious because the Direct Rendering Manager handles displaying things to the screen, where you might have Digital Rights Management involvement in the form of HDCP support, etc.

I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature
If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries
This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root
I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…
Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function
Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement
If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)
The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”
Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro
Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe
Sure, I just wasn’t sure if 2^9 has some historical significance in nazism or fascism
512 million seems just specific enough… is that a reference to something, or just a random large number?
FWIW, if you decide to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s
😉
Yeah, their branding makes it harder to recover.
I don’t know how they’ll change their versioning in the future, so I just went with that.
If they don’t make an obvious split to when the extension system is stable, they may never get that new beloved version like KDE managed
