“Oh no, we’re getting paid to do this thing instead of some other thing.”

Part of having a job is working on things that need to be worked on, not because they’re fun.

Freshman year of college, about 11 years ago.

Been using Manjaro exclusively for about 3 years.

So hard to get excited over new processors when what we have is already so powerful.

I guess I’ll be excited by the 7000 series or so.

I highly recommend avoiding this rhetoric because you will end up paying more for inferior hardware.

You are not actually “doing yourself a favor.”

I highly recommend checking out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ daily until you find something that meets your needs and budget.

Unfortunately, the “linux-first” vendors do not offer better deals than their competition.

Strawberry.

Our desktops are almost identical, lol.

3. I used to agree with you, but then I came across Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.

It’s the only example I know of where communists make an honest attempt to reduce the disparity in wealth rather than exacerbate it.

I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

No, you see, additional layers of abstraction are always a good thing. Haven’t you been paying attention to the latest software memes? /s

I’m a firm believer that the vast majority of things we needed for software were implemented by the 2000s.

Usually, people who don’t understand what they’re doing will overcomplicate things to cover-up their misunderstandings. I think choosing a technology before you have a use-case is one of these examples.

That’s a pretty shitty rule, lol.

We should be educating people on how to get stuff for free whenever possible.

Soulseek with Nicotine+.

There’s a lossless filter.

They’ve been working on the same software for 20+ years?

Woah.

Eh, I always discredit people when they say X is bad.

It’s been around for over 20 years. That kind of longevity should be praised.

Competition for the sake of competition isn’t intrinsically a good thing.

Seems to me, most of the people complaining about Steam are greedy devs who want to make more money off of their products.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can play games without having to download different launchers just to make someone else richer.

GOG is probably the only legitimate competitor with Steam. They provide value to customers instead of just themselves or greedy devs.

We did it boiz.

Pat yourselves on the back if you never used an alternative.

Honestly, everyone subscribing to streaming services gets exactly what they deserve.

You can stream anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

Yet you still choose to waste your money so people richer than you can be even richer.

Check out Undone. It’s by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.
