Does not surprise me in the slightest. The mask for Keir is starting to slip for the public. While they were rightly keen to move on from the previous government, they didn’t really kick the tires and see the autocratic nature in which he and his team run the party. For example, suspending thousands of members for years, frequently without stating why, due to them being on the left of the party.

The guy also hired a former Israeli spy to a prominent position.

Great talk on SystemD for those that are interested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo&t=837s&pp=2AHFBpACAQ%3D%3D

Lol. You went from Windows user to extreme Arch user I’m a very short period of time (SystemD hate).

There is Alpine and Void Linux which are commonly known of and used. Plus more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

Most distros independently decided that SystemD was superior. They had a choice and they chose. Distros are often maintained by volunteers in their free time. Same with software that depends on it. Expecting them to provide poor irrelevant choices is not how open source works. You’re passing on your backbreaking work onto other people. If you want another option, you give your time to make it happen.

SystemD is not an init system. It provides that functionality, but processes have more life cycle steps than just initialize.

When you accept that, you realise that you cannot compare them.

SystemD provides functionality that they don’t. Of course those that refuse to consider this will just claim it’s bloat. To some DE’s are bloat.

No, but to have food shopping budget split amonsts them is illogical.

You go shopping without money in your account?

Don’t need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd’s, they moved systems so I’m assuming it’s the same for Lloyd’s.

I personally would go with the previous model, and the A version. When 7 came out, I got a 6A for £299 new. Wouldn’t spend much more unless I had to.

Non-running software doesn’t affect performance as it isn’t anywhere near your RAM or CPU. What often people perceive of bloat is frequently software dependencies that are likely to be used over the course of the OS’s usage.

Often I have found bloat free setups end up taking hours of digging out dependencies on multiple occasions. Life is too short. I have things to build.

Chromium can fuck off. FF is king.

Rolling distro, up to date kernel, very good KDE support, stable?

OpenSuse Tumbleweed has got you covered.

Though this weird bloat fetish usually leads to Arch…

Have you got a source that shows that data of FF users actually went to AccuWeather or is this purely speculation?

Are the problem with the people who watch the video, or the people who create, or host the videos?

Nothing has exactly the same experience as MS. I don’t think there is a clone project for it.

The two you listed are your best options.

Does LibreOffice have any issues that prevent you using it? If not, it’s probably that your expectations are set by your comfort and familiarity with Office and that is the problem you need to solve.

Unless Quake was made with Copilot, that seems very unlikely:

Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.

If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.

I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.

MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.

Now on GrapheneOS on the Pixel 6a. One of the best decisions I made :)
