Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I’m learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people’s rooms to consume media.

Seems like it, I switched to my current instance explicitly to avoid dealing with this stuff

The fact that the company Valve went with KDE instead of GNOME for there popular linux device seems to indicate that it is at least stable. I could get some user testomonies on /c/Linux about KDE if you want?

Why not? It seems to be working fine.

Too many people involved I think, someone will have to check this but all those members with names attached look like real developers who were significantly contributing to the project. It is perfectly possible for a dictator for life to have festered a toxic culture that got worse over time, and has happened multiple times before.

Technically yes by rewriting ipfs’s code, but due to ipfs’s flaws you would be better off using something like freenet/hyphanet which has been designed for that purpose and has been successfully running since 2000, with the added benefit that the data is actually stored in the network by others instead of just by you (at least when you often request the data)

Unfortunately the reality of IPFS is that despite its huge funding it was poorly designed from the start and still to this day has much slower loading times then my I2pd instance (despite i2p transmiting messages through multiple encrypted proxies), to the point where the company working on the rust implementation determined it was so bad they had to scrap the whole thing to make something that actually worked. Not to mention that I managed to have my server taken over by some kind of malware by downloading a particular piece of content.

They seem to be talking about the budgeting app “Mint” as opposed to the Linux OS. Linux Mint isn’t going away any time soon.

Arch is a pain to setup BTW. It’s worth it, though you’d be netter using something like the installed for cachyOS to get the same experience

Unfortunately, Linux can’t run everything *yet. What do you propose people do instead when they can’t access the apps they need to play with friends or work?

Yes Stable Linux variants (also known as distros) are very widely used, and range from Linux mint which is completely stable with no issues for day to day use (assuming you don’t use an Nvidia card) to Debian which which has a selling point of not changing anything beyond security updates for like 6 years straight

Most people here will be talking about there bleeding edge systems which will use code that is often in beta or use systems so new they don’t have proper documentation (the bcachefs file system which showed up last month comes to mind).
