I just looked up "tongfang ryzen" in a generic search engine since I knew they had some affordable options. I think I learned about the laptops via Tuxedo Computers; someone on IRC later told me that those Tuxedo models were re-br

Slackware, Void, GuixSD, MX Linux, PCLinuxOS, GoboLinux, and CRUX are some of the more well-known Systemd-less distros. There's also all the BSDs.

Buzzfeed and Buzzfeed News share a parent and brand, but they are quite different. The former is the Web equivalent of junk food; the latter is a decent news org.

If you want to use a different engine, there's a plethora of Webkit2gtk-based browsers to choose from. GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) and Eolie are two good options for a basic experience; vimb, Luakit, and Nyxt are more advanced options.

If you want Chromium sans Google, Ungoogled-Chromium or any QtWebEngine-based browser should work much better. Ungoogled-Chromium is what I use when I want to use a feature in Chromium Devtools that isn't available in FF, or when I jus

If you want tabs and tiling in every program, you should give a tiling WM like Sway or i3 a try ;). We've had tabs, tiles, tabs of tiled grids, grids of tabbed groups, floating tab groups of grid layouts, etc. for a long time. It'

That's why the first step of CI for me, when possible, is to rsync a .tar.gz file from the server I'm deploying to. The tarball contains statically-linked binaries and other stuff I'll need for the build. It's also a goo

I agree that sandboxing should be decoupled from the distribution platform. Unfortunately, normal users aren't going to use bubblewrap or firejail directly until better GUI wrappers are made. I also think that sandboxing is still a wor

You seem really fixated on Plan 9. I merely used it as an example to show how even ultra-niche operating systems have support, demonstrating how adding a target need not be a monumental task. Other operating systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, So
