I never understood why AMD themselves don’t work in integration in Debian and Fedora. That way Ubuntu and RHEL would automatically inherit it. At worst it would be in Universe/EPEL.

Wayland is not killing smaller distributions. Who even came up with that batshit crazy idea?

Last time I tried I couldn’t get my Bluetooth headphones to work and I had to buy a new webcam because I didn’t know how to compile drivers.

When was that? 2002?

just can’t handle the responsibility of updating packages every single day

Then don’t. You can just as well choose to update once per week or whenever.

Red Hat kills X11

So does Valve. Valve and Red Hat are the driving forces behind the recent HDR advancements.

All Canonical contributions have been relicensed and are now under AGPLv3. Community contributions remain under Apache 2.0.

So they can happily port over code from the Incus fork but Incus cannot import the code without changing the license first. It’s meant to be a one-way street. Typical Canonical.

You need to be a horrible person to become a billionaire.

Jeffrey Epstein supporter and pedophile Richard Stallman would qualify then?

or I guess spoof your user agent

That won’t help. The issue is Widevine DRM protection level. It’s the same issue everywhere.

Oh boy, don’t look up the original meaning of GNOME.

In what way is macOS more closed than Windows?

In the ability to legally and without hassle install it on random PCs.

The kernel is open source

The actual userland is proprietary in both cases. Opening Apple Terminal on macOS and using homebrew is as “open” as running Windows Terminal with WSL: Basically the things in the terminal are FOSS, the graphical surroundings of both systems aren’t.

I like the meme but the most hilarious aspect of the saga to me is still that Oracle got out on a stage and with a straight face proclaimed that they are the bastion of openness for freeloading RHEL source code to make Oracle Linux. That shit never gets old.

This was announced on their blog a couple of weeks ago. No need to repeat this by posting blog spam.

And less not-invented-here like.

The only party playing that game is Canonical. Everybody else already agreed on Flatpak.

This new entrant in the immutable space is not a replacement for ordinary Ubuntu

Not yet the replacement. It will be and I bet Canonical is targeting 26.04 LTS to do that. This is just the next step of trying to force all their users into Snap, just like when Flatpak was banned from being in by default of community-supported but official Ubuntu variants such as Xubuntu.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

But why is it an issue that Canonical controls a source of software for their own OS? Isn’t that the same with every distro’s repository?

No. You can add any other repository to apt, rpm, Flatpak, etc. You cannot do the same with Snap and that’s by design. Canonical wants to be the sole gatekeeper of Linux software, hoping that all developers have no alternative but to publish software on the Snap store (ideally only there) which works best on Ubuntu.

Therefore: Fuck Snap.

Just google x86 SBCs and skip ARM. There are a bunch of options using AMD and Intel SoCs such as ODROID-H3.

Armbian or DietPi.

OP asked for hardware, not a new distribution.

Now that you have the proper hardware: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

Why ArchLinux over LinuxMint?

Street cred

If you think that Brave is the best option, look up what a scumbag Brendan Eich is and the shady monetizing practices the company introduced.

Industrial countries emit more CO2 than those that outsourced production to China (where the same amount of CO2 is then emitted). News at 11.
