@Dudebro @merchantHelios the year of the “Linux desktop” already happened twice and it was when the PS3 released and again when the steam deck released because nobody wants “Linux” they want a gaming machine and they don’t care what it runs
Ain’t a single person alive anymore who does any useful work on a personal machine, they just use whatever work gives them

@snacks @merchantHelios Ian Murdock, founder of Debian, was murdered by the police. No one talks about it. He is most assuredly spinning in his grave. The project is named for a murdered man and his ex wife, deb.

Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised this SUBHUMAN specimen made it, Debian has been ABYSMAL DOGSHIT for years now thanks to all the crowd of corponiggers constantly ruining it and sabotaging it, Ian would've killed himself again if he was still alive.

@sapphire @Dudebro @bronze @merchantHelios Guess that counts. And the locked in spyware Andriod also counts as Linux by that reasoning. Cellphone users have beat desktop for awhile. So we have probably had Linux dominance for awhile while kicking these FSF clowns to the side.

@meso @VIPPER @jimmy @merchantHelios @yomiel upon further investigation, this specific article seems to capture the larger issue that nobody else actually tried to be nominated (except some guy who attempted to sneak in last minute and failed) AND the nomination window actually CLOSED 4 days ago.
The only options now are vote for her or vote "none of the above". So this is actually much worse and Lunduke is largely correct, character questions aside.

Apple is full of mildly distilled faggots. That’s how they got an edge on streetshitters at Microsoft. The open source faggots bring raw instead of lightly filtered somehow has Apple trending towards better than where Linux is headed.
The main advantage open source used to have was heavy discrimination based purely upon quality. Not meeting a sprint deadline, not getting what you can out of the money spent on a bad coder. Just one motherfucker who was irritated enough by a bug or missing feature to do it and do it right. Even if he had to learn to do it first. That’s long gone.

@leyonhjelm @caekislove @Kerosene @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios @jeffcliff apple has a boss telling them "the best or nothing" and has since the era of Steve Jobs. Apple does not want another titanic flop, and even many of their more iconic flops like the G4 Cube, TAM, or Newton series will get you social media engagement bait.
"yes I want a touchscreen that doesn't need a pen and you can just squeeze to zoom"
Shit like the Gnome UI would have never happened under Apple, and even under MS they historically had to roll it back with Windows 10 and the aborted Windows 8.1 Update 3 (that only made it's way to ARM32 devices). Literally, the most Apple people bitch about is "oh liquid glass/flat design/whatever redesign looks like shit" meanwhile the Linux people reinvent the wheel a lot.

@leyonhjelm @caekislove @Kerosene @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios @jeffcliff I think Gnome 3 is so far behind us that everyone has forgotten how much of a step back it was from Gnome 2 to the point of several forks, being worse than KDE 4 was.

The difference being; KDE doesn't have the Gnome developers who will call you dumb and shit for not understanding it's their way or the highway. That's how KDE lacks Gnome's reputation.

@caekislove @Kerosene @leyonhjelm @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios @jeffcliff the difference between the vision pro and shit from 90s apple is it's one flop vs a mountain of products that didn't do well for some reason or another.
To most people the Vision Pro is a product that exists on Apple.com in the same way the TV 1 did in the shadow of the original iPhone. But more importantly, it's priced out of the ballpark of anyone and lacks the software support for wireheads like VRChat and goonershit.

Yep. The closest to a "killer app" VR has now is porn and they couldn't even get that right. "Augmented Reality" might be a thing once the technology catches up (and people forget about Google Glassholes), but that day ain't today.

@bronze @Dudebro @merchantHelios @sapphire Linux is only a kernel.
It was possible to boot GNU/Linux on the PS3 via the OtherOS function, but that restricted access to the GPU and other components and when someone found a way to bypass such restrictions, Sony sabotaged the OtherOS feature with an update.
Many computers have come with GNU/Linux long before the PS3.

@tyil @merchantHelios You don't seem to understand how the proprietary slope works.
Debian, the proprietary OS, will only ever get more proprietary - it won't ever get less proprietary.
Now systemd is proprietary software, as development consists of getting LLM's to copy-paste slop, Debian will fight even harder to ensure you can't use another init system.
