Tried Manjaro and Opensuse for a presentation machine lately: issues over issues, that just shouldn't exist on new installation (problems with USB disks, input). Came back to Debian asap because Debian, weirdly, "just works (tm) now.
Actually, if Linux/BSD/... doesn't work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux's usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS's quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.
Ehrlich wäre zu sagen: wir lebten und leben immer noch in einer teils pädophilen Gesellschaft, da haben sie alle mitgemacht. Klar kannst Du auf Kirchen (Mehrzahl!) zeigen und Du hast recht. Aber alle anderen Lebensbereiche ausblenden ist nicht.
Hintergrund: ich arbeite im Sozialbereich und kenne bei allen die Leichen im Keller: Kirchen, Kommunen, freie Träger...
Pädophilie ist leider ein historisch endemisches Problem in Deutschland: Kirche, Vereine, Staat (Schulen, Heime, Fürsorge), alle haben mitgemacht. 1 Sündenbock dafür ist zu billig.
It's more of a double edged sword: snaps were great imho when they replaced the mess of old we had going on with thirty or so incompatible ppas.
But why force snaps for central stuff like FF/Chromium and soon Thunderbird?
I just upgraded an old PC and reinstalling Ubuntu meant that all my configs of these apps and then some broke. Snap is using incompatible storage for dotfiles and configurations. And more often than not central Desktop functions like the cursors (atm no hand cursor in FF for me!), sound and common extensions don't work ootb. For the odd piece of speciality sw I'd had to go hunting for before that's alright. But not for everyday stuff
Come on canonical, don't enshittify you great distribution...
Great, so a lot of people are going to have a clear upgrade path (including me). Otherwise OpenSuse would have lost me (and I imagine others) after 25 yrs or so...
Hurrah:
"There are no plans to drop the classical (non-immutable) option for Leap;..."
Genau so ist es! Und was brauchen wir für eine funktionierende Infrastruktur? Genau: Arbeitskräfte! Und woher bekommen wir die? In meiner Branche gehen in den kommenden zehn Jahren 3x mehr Menschen in den Ruhestand als demografisch nachkommen. Ohne Einwanderung sind wir doch am ****$&#@
For me the direct opposite is true. About two years ago Google stopped giving me any accurate results, feeding me a bunch of semi-related garbage instead. DuckDuckGo feels like the Google of old: results that actually (literally) contain the terms of the query and not much else. I'd hate using the internet without it.
Honestly all this feels like the railway's Dieselization 100yrs ago. When the end of steam powered engines was drawing near, coal hauling railroads and Baldwin Locomotive in the U.S. tried all kinds of whacky and hilariously inefficient engine designs, just to keep the ol' ways alive... none of these worked out - everyone who stuck to it lost hugely.
