On one hand you are correctly concerned. On the other hand, how much code are you (and everyone else for that matter) running that is not provisioned by "randos on the internet"? Even if you compiled it yourself, do you check all

Repeat after me: Debian STABLE does not mean Debian WORKING, it just means that major versions of most of the software will not change for this release. There are many things in Debian STABLE that are not working and that will continue to

Have you tried? CTRL+C on most dialogs will copy all of the text to clipboard. Of course, there are 3rd party dialogs that are not standard Windows dialogs and they do not implement this functionality.

Two most used OSes on the planet - iOS and Android - force you to create online accounts and do not allow you to fully use your device without online accounts. No one complains about it and instead they praise this as a great feature. Windo

Unfortunately, Debian is like Linux on desktop, always 80% there. You just cannot trust that plain Debian will get it right, even if it works that one time you install it. Two most recent issues that made me change to something else: 1) VLC

You don't have to wait for WWDS/iOS18 to find out if Apple wants to compete on software flexibility - the answer is NO, not now, not ever. If anything software flexibility for all other systems is being decreased to match Apple so

So you are saying that Dell with Intel CPU could get longer battery life than Mac with M1? What does that say about quality of Apple engineering? Their marketeering is certainly second to none.
