First hard drive Linux: Debian.
Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.
There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.
If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.
This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.
I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.
Can I please have some evidence?
I have been running sid (unstable) on my desktop since 2013. I’ve had maybe 4 issues in all those years. This is through multiple ram, diak, power supply, motherboard upgrades. It just runs fine.
Haha funny name, but let’s see how much traction it will get.
Everyone who thinks they are in the bottom right, is in the bottom left.
It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.
So show me something else. Or I’ll boo.
Existing established open source projects? Basically never.
My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

Newpipe is not being rewritten. They have chosen to do progressive improvements instead:
Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I’ve been very happy with Debian (Sid).

There is no such thing as a visual learner.
Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don’t have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don’t need a $2000 top of the line phone.
An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I’m probably going to call opulence.
Lol all my fridge has is some condiments.
I didn’t mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.
That’s just the world we live in.
Late-stage capitalism is hardly all on his shoulders.
“Bleeding long term hires” are reading the tea leaves. Better to get a new job when you have one, finding a job when you need it is much harder.
I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it’s not even had that issue.
I’ve had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.
