I think what you can do is just get a separate computer running Windows for all your business stuff and business stuff only. I’d also recommend ALWAYS using a VPN on it if legally possible.

Hmm I didn’t know the UK was THIS bad.

The bold parts include a false claim; i.e. Red Hat made RHEL paid..

Isn’t it? And for distro devs access to the source code is the only thing that matters. I am quite sure it is paid.

There’s no fault at being cautious, but this should never lead us towards toxic behavior.

I agree but I think you are the toxic one here. You boldly accuse a kinda new Linux user that asks a question in sharing misinformation and being toxic. I kinda get the first part but the second? You either don’t know what toxicity is or you’re just being toxic.

I think I need like 2 weeks to tell all the reasons I hate it.

Don’t spread lies, misinformation and/or FUD.

Uhm what? I asked a question bruh.

They’ve only made it harder for other parties to freely benefit from RHEL’s hard work

True but they still can find something to hurt everyone. Not like I think it will happen but it is a problem with centralization and a company being behind a big and important product.

(it’d be more likely to happen with a distribution like fedora or centos than userland components

I mean, if they make an actual workstation distro and kill systemd’s real FOSS nature, everyone else will have to spend some time rebuilding their distros with other init systems. That’ll be quite a sabotage.

Btw can RH as the biggest contributor to systemd make it paid like it did with RHEL? Then it’s going to be the death of the free and independent Linux desktop for quite a while.

How is RH related to Arch lol? By having GNU core utils?

Wait Arch and Debian are owned by IBM? It sounds like one insane piece of conspiracy tbh.

What I meant is that compiling the same program on 100 machines is a horrifying waste of resources and downtime. Binaries exist but it destroys the point of Gentoo that was never meant for production in the first place.

Here where I live the ebill feature doesn’t work properly and if I want to pay the bills with my credit card, I just enter all the receiver data manually and save it as a preset. I think you can do it too.

Sorry but imo “compilation” and “production” cannot be used in one sentence. Imagine the electricity bills and compilation times on office machines with i3s or Celerons

But it isn’t musl based? And I never heard it had anything except for the rolling release?

I would say this is a 10/10 setup.

For some reason I think a lot of them (probably even more than half) have tried browsing the web or at least using the desktop mode at least once.

I confused it with Steam statistics sorry

Yes sorry you’re right

We don’t include Android here. What I meant is that the Steam Deck does count in that statistics.

If only Void had a stable release branch

No I think it’s the Steam Deck. It’s like half of all actively used Linux machines.
