I've kind of been using Debian 13 for awhile now (I'm on Unstable) and for me what's impressive is how polished a default Debian installation is these days. With Gnome, you literally can run it as is, no config needed. It j

Canonical doesn't force anyone to use anything. Snap is open source, just modify it to use a different store if you want. Mint literally forked a zombie DE, but changing a few lines of code in snap is an issue...

You literally invoked 2 racist tropes about Jews in a topic about a Malayan born American CEO who has links to Chinese companies, then doubled down... The lack of self awareness is mind boggling. And of course you won't read the link,

I live in Canada, have a 15 year old Hyundai Elantra that sees -40 degrees every winter, I ski 50+ days per year so it sees a ton of snowy roads, and the car has had exactly zero mechanical issues. I've only replaced brake pads, rotor

Have won what? The privilege of burning billions of dollars and not being profitable? Until AGI is achieved no one's really won anything.

Neapolitan pizza isn't even the most popular pizza in Italy... The AVPN is basically just an organization promoting Neapolitan pizza around the world since Naples is traditionally a poorer part of Italy and extra tourism helps. It is i

OSS isn't a business model. The most successful projects I've seen is when someone has a business, releases a tool they use, then others iterate on said tool that the business uses. Then everyone gets a better tool. Think Linux,

Suse runs mostly boring infrastructure at large corporations. It's the Red Hat of Europe. They're actually doing interesting things with immutable distros and stuff, but their customers are big, not startups or consumers.

The problem isn't the concept of debt. The problem is people vote for the own interests ie. handouts and kicking the can down the road to the next generation. You can have debt in a society without accumulating more in perpetuity. D
