If buying a graphics card is in your plans, but AMD. Nvidia does better cards, but AMD works with less bugs on Linux. I just switched and I’m quite happy with the results.

For distro, Mint is a safe bet.

Man, you will have some pain as any change will cause. But I think you will like it. Have a second USB to be safe.

My problems with this text:

• it equates state and business, they are not the same and business should not be treated as a viable substitute for a state.
• it make it look like all places have the same set of problems when it’s more like same places have same of the problems and probably nowhere have all of them.

In an ideal world…

We don’t live in an ideal world.

Interesting, but seems difficult to enforce

The malicious code is not on the source itself, it’s on tests and other files. The building process hijacks the code and inserts the malicious content, while the code itself is clean, So the co-manteiner was able to keep it hidden in plain sight.

Nice tech surrounded by scams.

A rough translation of a brazilian quote for you: “In a fight between these guys, I cheer for the fight”.

That sounds like a bad transition plan. For sure there’s some lessons to learn from that experience.

Linux Mint. Works well and it’s friendly.

I think they meant that the Snap itself (or part of it) is proprietary. But I’m not sure.

The time is flying fast this year…

Apple, Microsoft and Google, on the other hand, decides what is best for them, shove it down the users’ throats and get users’ money (and personal data) in return…

I think some criticism still valid though (but not the entitlement).

It will depend on how many instances will join the extensions…

I have a different argument for why Meta could kill the Fediverse. Even before they engage on Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy, the simple fact that Meta will have an extremely large user base from the start may kill financially the rest of Fediverse.

All projects that embrace ActivityPub are not prepared to deal with the volume of data that a Meta’s facebook-like or twitter-like project would bring.

In a best case scenario it would force the development of current Fediverse projects to focus on sustentability earlier than necessary, and the missing features would be delayed. And that alone would cause problems to the future of such projects.

On the other hand, the smaller nodes would see the storage costs rising fast and would be at a higher risk of dying simply because they would not be able to pay.

No Flatpak available?

From Arch to Debian, that’s a 180° on stability. But to be honest, I’m using arch for 2 months now and everything seems very stable. I had no problems, yet.

Valve created gamescope, that’s a microcompositor just for games. Other Wayland compositors may still break games.
