Right. At least with Gnome even distro maintainers struggle to keep up with the churn and build it, users have little hope of success there. The result is a partition between the community and the developers who spend a lot of time in the c

Yeah! The entire desktop Linux software library is available and that has a lot of really good, community maintained software.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if South America embraced bitcoin while North America banned it.

They're working on that interestingly enough, but that kind of thing does take time.

I hated that video. I think he's absolutely wrong. If that's really the case then how come people on /gif/ and /wsg/ on 4chan haven't been sued? There's tons of copyrighted music on there (the ygyl th

What exactly is wrong with Pop!_OS? I put it on my GF's laptop after she kept complaining about the machine slowing down and she's been very happy with it. The Thai IME even worked out of the box.

Vim supports entering quite a lot of symbols that don't exist on most keyboards (like the integral symbol.) I always have to look up how and that forces people to use editors which support that. >And, yes, me too: I wrote this in vi

Note that you must add your own keypair for that, as Gentoo is a source based distribution so there isn't anything for Microsoft to sign.

It's really a Qualcomm problem more than an Android problem. Everyone seems to think Qualcomm==Arm though because in the USA it pretty much does.

Xorg supports multi headed setups. I don't personally do that since there are only two people in my house but you should be able to set it up pretty easily.
