It is a different thing. They point of containers is that they do share the same kernel, and that each container is just a different namespace. If each entity has a different kernel, they are VMs. VMs can be also pretty thin and have shared

Not sure what is supposed to be complicated here: 1) install wine. Normally, you would do `brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable`; however, if you managed to update to ventura 13.3, you will need wine 8.4 or newer, so `brew tap ho

It is not about "empowering oppressive government". It is being true to what I claim that I'm, what my values are. If I start playing opportunist, how I'm better that the other guy?

China never claimed that they value freedom, (whatever you define as freedom). They value harmony instead, (whatever you define as harmony). By US banning TikTok, US is acting against claimed values, turning out to be hypocrite. China, by b

Yes; but that's the smaller problem. In order to use the camera, you need to have a bunch of closed-source libraries (ipu6-camera-bins).

That sounds more like Canonical marketing-speak, than Mozilla. My guess would be that it is Canonical who approached Mozilla for snap support, and Mozilla said yes. Meanwhile, Mozilla still maintains ppa (mozillateam) with apt version. Ther

Depending on your definition of "sorted". For the foreseeable future, it is going to require proprietary libraries (userspace ones, not just firmware blobs). Until that changes, it won't be supported OOB on any distro.
