It does but theirs a certain auth plugin/security setting they enable that only works with chrome

I think this just bases off Debian stable which makes it not too bad

Are any commonly used desktop distros debian based besides Ubuntu ? Ubuntu derivatives are not as they follow the latest upstream packages 1:1 usually iirc. Monjaro has its own dependency update schedule so it creates a new userspace dependency set to build against. If 10 distros follow the same thing we have 10 different timestamps of arch you have to build against.

Maybe my info is out of date, I just use arch & fedora.

thankfully so

Soon we will have forks of arch forks and each one will have a completely different set of dependencies depending on when the owners decide to freeze the package. Then someone will use it and wonder why theirs so many bugs

I use Linux for work and our company requires chrome to view Google Docs and such

I have a dream, that one day people will stop making arch derivatives that fragment the user space even more

We like to think EU abandoning tech companies will create a new privacy FOSS ecosystem, when in reality they will likely just recreate their own Tech corps like China and US now that they have skin in the game

Any exec who makes people use that should be fired

what would you want changed

You can split your ssd into a bunch of partitions install different distros in each, edit your bootloader config to make entries for the other partitions

Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant

My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it

Welcome to the club!

Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy to tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.

What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of “shipping your computer” without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.

Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?

Are you tired of winning yet

Single player works flawlessly 99% of the time. Competitive multiplayer shooters can be a bit iffy.

It’s definitely annoying how we have all these wrappers of wrappers of debian, like Linux mint is wrapping packages from Ubuntu which is then wrapping packages from a certain snapshot of Debian. All of which creates a unique set of dependencies an apps running on that can cause bugs (Though sometime the distro is more like a installation wrapper for another distro which is better).

Its crazy you can fail so badly at cloning a competitors product yet still be so successful
