I started using linux seriously with Manjaro, but since I didn’t know what AUR really was I fucked my system up (thank NVIDIA drivers for that). Then I switched to arch, learned everything I should have known on the arch wiki. So yeah, I use arch btw.

Then again, the archlinux wiki and forums are the best places to get every kind of help a linux user might need. And this is true for every distribution, to some extent.

I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: “The fascists are voting, are you?” With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I’d say it was worth it.

Yeah I know, like sbin isn’t used in most modern distros, right?

Thank you for that, I always wondered about the meaning behind a few of these directories.

Don’t you worry about it, wine has been around since the 90s. So many desktop apps you like on windows will be really functional, and you can see their individual compatibility ratings on https://appdb.winehq.org/ For games, it’s another mater. But most of the time it’s fine wether it be on steam proton or wine-ge. Try it for a few weeks and you’ll find yourself happy, but still harassing devs for a native Linux release :)

Don’t worry, Google is actually getting sued for its various malpractices (paying browsers millions to be their default search engine, Google adsense putting the best bidder at the top of the search results, etc). It might even come to the US justice system ordering the breakup of various Google products into smaller independent companies.

Syncthing is great to periodically sync files between Linux and Android. And you could use it as file transfer service for occasional needs if you just share an empty directory.

The number one problem of modern appliance is indeed longevity I’d say. The so called “planned obsolescence” is probably what mainly drives or consumption of electronics and, accordingly, our production of e-waste. But Framework might just be saying that for green washing purposes.

Damn that seems really infuriating. Where I live there’s a government program to forbid anyone to send you ads or political propaganda (and the best part is that you can report those who slip through the net!) It isn’t fool proof but it did decrease the amount of calls from people trying to sell me shit I don’t want.

Well they said their servers were powered by renewable energy up to 99% and they host French and English communities. I’m an environmentalist who speaks French and English. When I saw that I said : “That’s my home now!”

Most places where I’ve seen those annoying rules are official websites of my country’s institutions… Hard to make do without them.

Given what the French government got for their money’s worth in counselling from McKinsey, I’d take what they say with a pinch of salt.
