My point was that censorship is valid when it is to prevent harming individuals/fraud/bullying

my goalpost did not move at all.

you are being a hypocrite by saying it was okay not to have that on wikipedia because it was already banned

you should oppose that ban on the basis of censorship, no?

for the same reason they don’t give resources to blatant harassment campaigns.

both are against the rules and both are censorship for nearly identical reasons

If I made a wikipedia page showing your social security and banking information would your stance hold true?

This is to stop a cyberbullying campaign against a disabled person

That kind of censorship doesn’t sit will with me. What else are they keeping from us?

probably other things to harrass individuals with?

To take a serious stab at this post

I know, every time it’s rare.

Do you know it isn’t? sometimes rare things happen to you.

It’s not a real issue.

who has ever said that to you?

I chose the wrong distro. I have the wrong graphics card. I should have known to use kde over gnome for this use case.

are you aware that if you ask questions nicely and with humbleness instead of like a jerk you’ll get different styles of answers?

I should have known that electron and Wayland were a mess at the time despite being the recommended desktop

that’s fixed and long passed us, they were new and experimental for a while but now they’re mostly the default.

based on you not reading documentation and then getting mad at it in the other post i’m inclined to agree

the documentation doesn’t say to use xrandr to do that, it gives clear instructions you didn’t follow.

Do you have statistics to prove otherwise?

I promise you I’ve never had to run something like xdotool or xrander just to set up basic shit like mouse gestures or a default display like a tv.

you don’t, why would you? use kde they have built in stuff for this… you said you use bazzite

you’re unlucky and such issues are rare, except nvidia problems I’d say issues are actually less frequent. i have helped countless people install linux.

do you honestly think your single experience is representative? do you not think i could find countless reports of windows doing the same?

An opinion from 10 years ago

Because zipline is the one doing it, not chipotle, and it’s their entire business model and they’re doing a great job and are already fully profitable in the third world.

plus they’ve learned a lot from amazons failings.

Please include an easter egg that leads to this post, thank you

It does not reduces maintenance.

It absolutely does, package maintainers just have to maintain ONE package for all distros.

And it costs hard drive, and with heavy use, probably ram too

This isn’t performance really, it’s storage, and I don’t think it actually impacts ram.

Maintenance is only reduced on the surface level. The complexity you don’t see as a problem is the actual maintenance problem. It’s not a problem only if you’re not the one dealing with integration, maintenance or security.

This is a case you’re going to have to try a lot harder to make, I don’t see what you’re saying at all.

But this one in particular vastly reduces maintenance, doesn’t do anything at all to performance, and only arguably adds complexity, I think it needs to be case by case.

It’s just a weird linux distro that you install atop your distro, honestly, I have no idea why you think that.

For beginners KDE is much more familiar, and is generally the better pick regardless. I’m not saying this is the best choice for everyone, but it’s the best choice when you don’t know anything.

Flatpak is infinitely easier for people who don’t know what they’re doing, because it’s sandboxed and separate from the native system. If you know what you’re doing it’s different though, I don’t use them personally.

Be preinstalled on laptops/desktops.

everything else is ready unless you use niche software. Most people just use a browser and word or a pdf editor.

note the distro MUST be an immutable up to date kde flatpak using one for normal people, however
