I’m a contractor and I use linux if that counts :D

If they want to fight hard, they just add the ads into the stream.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t have ads.

I liked this discussion. However, I think both of you have different axioms. It’s a pro-socialism vs pro-capitalism debate.

In capitalism, we need innovation to create new value. Or you can pollute water to sell water bottles which will have value now. It’s up to citizens to decide what to restrict that was publicly available or what to innovate.

In socialism, the innovation is only happening where it needs to happen carefully planned and funded by the government.

I’m rather socialist, so I’d defend it:

Having a software with inability to modify is injustice, It’s the same as polluting a water to sell it. Even if we need to pollute the water to sell it, it doesn’t justify pollution.

You can’t make a law for everything evil that corporations do. Social democracy is flawed inherently. We need direct decision power of people in those firms. Never gonna happen though.

I recently installed Nix alongside with Arch. I feel the same. After years of using Arch I spent two days to get everything configured the same as in my Arch, and I haven’t finished it yet.

Don’t buy a Mac. That’s more limiting than a Windows. But yeah install linux.

yeah I’m a fucking idiot because I thought wrongly the redis’ language…

I use rust only if we need performance, for small services. The industry does the same. People use node for backend but e.g. redis is in rust. It’s a good tool if you use it for the right stuff.

EDIT: redis is not in rust, but e.g. aws writes many services in rust

Our views can be compatible. Endless os is quite limited right now, but if flathub would have xampp, for example, that would be easily the simplest way to run a webserver. However, every techy person prefers docker, me too. It’s just not something that my mother can deal with. In general, linux is lacking these mother compatible apps where we have more advanced solution. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend endless and others in the category if the goal is to run a webserver.

None of them good for non techy people. I wouldn’t recommend mint. Gnome is the most friendly DE with pleasing defaults. There are many immutable flatpak distros coming with gnome. e.g.: Endless os which is pre installed on some asus laptops instead of Ubuntu for reason.
