>>475794947Some FSF-approved projects strive to provide a free operating system and will remove all binary blobs when no documentation for hardware or source code for device drivers and all applicable firmware is available; such projects include Linux-libre kernel packaging from FSFLA, Parabola, Devuan, Trisquel, and LibreCMC.[10] However, the vast majority of open-source projects make a distinction between binary-only device drivers (blobs) and binary-only firmware (not considered blobs[11]:...), allowing for certain proprietary firmware to be freely distributed as part of their kernels, and, to the disagreement of some core contributors, also support the use of proprietary device drivers that are distributed externally, providing internal compatibility interfaces for such proprietary drivers and userspace components to work with their system.[12][13] Projects following this policy include the Linux kernel itself, NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, and most Linux distributions.[14] Some of these projects do provide options for building the system without proprietary firmware, thus excluding sourceless microcode on demand.[15]

>>475795621I'm joking. Linux is just good in general. Debian is ok. I do really like Arch best though. The idea that it's a "hard" distro is kind of a meme these days. I have way more trouble on my work computer because we have to use Ubuntu.

>>475796065It's nice and all but like, ... nobody writes programs for it. So like, is there even a web browser.
>>475796408Yup. Linux desktop is a hobbyists OS. It's not stable enough to get real work done. But if you don't know how to manage your own linux servers you're a waste of space.
The city is amazing... everything's within walking distance and you can get a Big Mac whenever you want. Even drunk because you don't have to drive anywhere. The city is awesome. Also, I love Windows 11.
>>475796430It doesn't come preinstalled with anything, very lightweight. Except for systemd. But I'm ok with systemd. The BEST thing about it is the Pacman package manager. Very easy to use, and the AUR (arch user repository) is SS+ tier amazing. Gentoo has all that too, but it comes with a bunch of extra stuff unless you get a super light version, but then you're just using Arch and calling it Gentoo.
>>475793916you know you can just pirate windows right and then you wont need to do 2 hours of programming in order to play a video game
>>475793916Anyone can push code for the Linux kernel, Gnome, KDE, etc. Don't assume it's not fubar.
>>475796617It's waaaaaay better for software engineering. I think so anyway. Never had a problem with my Ubuntu work computer that wasn't user error.
>>475795515No they didn’t.
>>475796751It's foolish to think that Linux isn't compromised too.
>>475796729This. Also apartments are way better than houses with lots of land... no mowing or shoveling, you are surrounded by friendly people. Nothing beats walking down the hall and smelling all the different food from the many wonderful cultures our countries have to offer. Yep, Windows is the best. Best enjoyed from a nice cozy apartment in the city.
>>475796707>Gentoo has all that too, but it comes with a bunch of extra stuff unless you get a super light version, but then you're just using Arch and calling it Gentoo.I didn't mention gentoo, I asked why arch is better than debian. But that's ok, this sentence confirms that you're larping.
>>475796751Funny thing, it is absolutely fubar. The hard truth is that a good portion of the software that is "windows only" is waaaaay better than the linux stuff. MSOffice, for instance, is 100x better than LibreOffice. But the file system on Linux is way better, and it's way easier to get a clean system for programming. Windows has made it basically impossible to have a clean directory tree.
Fuck Arch. I'm trolling you faggots on Gentoo.
>>475796751No, they can't the kernel dev team is about 150 people. Anyone with the power to push code has to be vetted irl by the team and government is documented.

>>475797031iD*Also freedesktop.org has a similar system
>>475796997I'm not larping at all. If you use Linux, I highly HIGHLY recommend giving Arch a shot. Even if you don't end up liking it, you'll learn a lot about how Linux works by putting all of your stuff together. And seriously, it isn't that hard. It's a good learning experience and then you have a solid, lightweight system.

>>475796997Why is Arch better than Debian? Pacman is better than Apt. Among the reasons I previously stated.
>>475797252I'm literally a linux engineer. I have daily driven arch in the past. You are larping and have no idea why you said arch is better than debian. You don't really know what they are. It's fine, you're taking an interest, keep doing that, but please stop trying to speak with authority on the matter. It's embarrassing.
>>475793916The day Linux adopted a Code of Conduct is the day Linux died.
>>475796997Also, I said Gentoo and meant Manjaro.
>>475793916For those of us who don't have 5 hours to research distros: what distro is convenient to use, secure, and good for privacy? I don't game, so that's not a concern. Just do the normal shit like surfing the web, watching rumble, do office stuff like word / spreadsheets, etc
>>475796964Devuan or OpenBSD. (I'm not holy enough for Temple).
>>475797618Debian
>>475797454I write production automation and systems tests for aircraft transponders, so I may not know as much as you but I know a lot. Like I said, I said "Gentoo" but meant "Manjaro". I understand Gentoo is way different than Arch. Manjaro is basically newby Arch.
>>475793916I use Arch BTW
>>475797618Mint of Ubuntu probably.
>>475797822Why use a debian spinoff when you can just use the real thing?
>>475797031They may not be able to submit an obvious backdoor but they may be able to push code with a venerability that could lead to a potential backdoor.
>>475797618Fedora
>>475797887In my experience Mint and Ubuntu are the easiest distros to learn with the most resources online. Yes, Debian isn't that hard. Yes, Debian has endless sources online. I just think for beginners Mint or Ubuntu is the way to go. Unless you want to go hardcore then start off with trying the old Arch command line install.
>>475796408I switched to mint too last year and I can't ever see myself using windows ever again. But then I don't use virtual machines. Idk, it just seems like baby bird syndrome when people complain like this. When you get to know how to use something properly then you can judge on if it's better or not. I'm still learning, but to me it's fun
>>475797984Also, hardware backdoors exist. Even if the Linux code was flawless, and it's not, your system is still vulnerable.
>>475795163>he thinks anyone pays for windowsthe fuck?
you never have "nothing to hide" they're always looking for new ways to tax you into poverty.
>>475798030I was never able to do the arch command lline install but was able to for gentoo so archinstall script or gentoo is good for beginners
>>475797776>but I know a lot. You don't, but that's fine, just please stop attempting to speak with some kind of authority on something you know nothing about. >Like I said, I said "Gentoo" but meant "Manjaro".Well that makes your response even more retarded, because I was asking why you said arch is better than debian.
>>475796908Kek, pretty good leaf... pretty good. You get raked last.

>>475798172Bro, chill. I don’t know how much you know, anyone can claim to be a “Linux engineer”. Manjaro is basically just Newby arch, everyone knows that. I can speak with the authority of a seasoned Linux user who uses it professionally.

>>475798571>Manjaro is basically just Newby arch, everyone knows that.No shit. It still has nothing to do with my question. Are you ESL or just a bit retarded?
>>475798172Also, Arch is bettter than Debian because Pacman is better than Apt. among other reasons.
>>475798702Answered it like ten times, dude.
>>475798706>among other reasonsSuch as?
>>475798706Arch kinda sucks balls. Spent more time fixing arch in the few months I used it. Pain in the ass
>>475795532A MacBook and an iPhone with a single Apple account is all I’ll ever need. Goolag and m$ are vomit at this point.
>>475798831Such as for the latest versions of Debian you get Wayland installed automatically and xorg is better. Such as if I want to I can go completely headless very easily. Such as my pc has almost nothing on it that I don’t use frequently and you have to fiddle with Debian to make it that way longer than you have to fiddle with Arch to set it up.
>>475798872Skill issue
>>475799074Gentoo works very fine for me. But I'll keep that in mind.
>>475799156Gentoo is cool too, but I don’t like the whole “compile everything from source thing.” I guess that’s pretty cool, I’m just not in to it.
>>475799031>Such as for the latest versions of Debian you get Wayland installed automatically and xorg is better. Why?>Such as if I want to I can go completely headless very easily. Literally no different to debian.>uch as my pc has almost nothing on it that I don’t use frequently and you have to fiddle with Debian to make it that way longer than you have to fiddle with Arch to set it up.Completely untrue, and you will never be able to explain why you think that.
>>475799274Portage is a very good package manager. I don't mind the compiling from source thing because use flags are awesome.
>>475799328Xorg is easier to use, and it’s not as laggy. Also, when I tried out wayland it kept crashing. I don’t know, maybe there are headless Debians around, never looked for it since arch is so easy to set up. It just straight takes longer to find and remove everything than it takes to simple get what you want at install. Especially now that Arch has the install script, it takes like 5 minutes to get the perfect system.
>>475799328That being said, if there is a super stripped down Debian version that you can choose all the software at install then I’m sure it’s just as good EXCEPT you don’t have Pacman and you don’t have the AUR.
>>475799583>Xorg is easier to useWhat do you mean by this? Actually you know what, I'm done. You're a retard and I wish you would have some humility about it, instead of spewing nonsense about linux so you can feel like an expert in front of the plebs. I'm glad you're taking an interest, but I wish people like you wouldn't speak up and give advice when your advice is worthless.
>>475799977X.org is better because FVEY isn’t shilling for it like you do with gayland. If you FVEY shits are in favor of a technology, it means it’s bad.
>>475800078I'm not shilling for wayland. I haven't expressed an opnion. I'm just getting another larper to expose himself.
>>475793916Linux is only interesting for IT technicians and for people who can afford hiring their own household IT technician. For normal people, Linux doesn't even exist.Linux can't even automate the most basic tasks, like OS installation or hardware recognition or installing video games. You have to tell it everything manually, in a cryptic language that's completely useless for anything that's not Linux.
>>475800178This. Now who wants McDonald's? It's just down the road.
>>475800178I'm okay with this as a Linux tech.
>>475800177I’m sorry I offended you.
>>475797822Correct. Ubuntu and Mint are the ideal working mans OS. Easy and fool proof to install. They just work. Much better than Windows. You will not go back.
>>475800177Nah you’re shilling, you fags shill for Rust and sneed oils too. Anything gay basically. Because you’re gay.
>>475793916work pc = windowspersonal pc = linuxpersonal decoy pc = windows
>>475797618Good for privacy is relative. Any distro is better than using literal malware like win/mac.If you want privacy privacy people will recommend shit like Tails, but no distro is automatic good opsec. There's no master condom that will make you invulnerable to everything if you keep downloading and running linkinp4rk-1nth3end.mp2.exe, barring an immutable reed only boot. But that kind of thing would be a major annoyance for the regular use you'd want out of it.Don't worry about the autistic splitting of hairs. Arch, gentoo and those are for "power users", which is neat if you wanna learn stuff but will be frustrating if you're simply not interested.What you want is a baby tier "just werks" distro that's as close to windows as possible but uncucked. Any option is a massive upgrade so go for functionality.As mentioned before ITT, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora are good solid options.Mint even has a release packaged with a GUI similar to windows (forget its name). I'd go for that if I was you, transition will be relatively painless.
>>475799977>explain why you like Arch over Debian>"ok!" I am more comfortable with xorg and it's more minimal at install which is what I like and I prefer pacman>NO!KekYou fucking contrary cunt
>>475794142Lol no. Both Windows users are crying because Windows 10 is shit, and so is 11. People are always complaining about Windows 10 and above.
linux was made by a tranny, remember the 'programming socks' post?
>>475800178Arch isn’t bad at all. The wiki is pretty damn good and holds your hand the entire way.
>>475801018He can't explain but I can. Arch advantage is minimalism and AUR.If you want Debian to be stable you cannot change much. You have to use the wizards. The moment you change a configuration or install a different desktop environment is when the whole thing crashes and you have to reinstall. Debian is not as stable as people make out to be. I have never reinstalled Arch.Arch has latest packages in the official repo, and if it doesn't exist in the official repos you use AIR. You don't need to resort to Flatpak.
>>475800178Completely wrong but okay. You probably never tried Linux. You don't need to configure anything with distros like PopOS. You can game by just installing steam. The installation process is just a wizard.
>>475797252I'm not larping, you use Arch, I highly reccomend giving HRT a shot. Even if you don't end up liking it, you'll learn a lot about your feminine side, from rigorous anal dildo masturbation. And seriously, it isn't that hard. It's a good learning experience and then you have a solid, lightweight system.
>>475794404>I'm shitposting with Linux Mint with Vivaldi browser right now.The thing about using shit like that is that it looks like an effort to seem unique. It's eerily similar to people who hate popular music and only like obscure bands no one has heard of. I was considering Linux but after various frustrations with browsers like Vivaldi and Brave, I cucked and went back to Chrome and decided it's just more convenient, therefore wouldn't the same be the case for Linux? Like am I really going to spend a precious weekend figuring out how the fuck Linux works only to decide it's more trouble than it's worth?I think the people who are into stuff like Linux don't care about convenience, they care about using obscure tech. Which is fine, nothing wrong with being a nerd, but it's really not for everyone.

>>475795157Windows is falling apart.11 is garbage that barely works, 10 is ending support, all else is outdated.Windows isn't worth it if you have a new computer.
>>475802775I use mint with Brave primarily because I know how to use Brave, it has a great inbuilt ad blocker and I actually never used Chrome before. Don't want to either. I used Windows 10 for nearly 4 years and got sick of it and installed mint last year and I learned more about IT in the space of 9 months than my whole life and I can use it better than I could ever use WindowsI said this before in this thread, but what you are talking about is baby bird syndrome. You don't like learning new things and judge things on how easy it is to use based on what you are already familiar with. I get it, you just want to use shit and have it work, and you don't want to have to relearn everything. I'm the same with windows I suppose. But I actually think Linux is better objectively, and not just because I know how to use itBrave is buggy now however when using Youtube. It usually doesn't remember my browsing history and it isn't any settings I have on it. It's kinda annoying so I just use Firefox with Ublock. I don't think Ublock is as good but it is good enough. Firefox is slower however. I use brave or everything else

Too many Jew trannies letting in too many Chinks and now it's a free for all bug-insertion contest. Linus got blackmailed by Jewish trannies so he's pretty much a lame duck looking the other way at Jewish bug-insertion. >B-but Linux has open source so there's more people checking the code for vulnerabilities!

EndeavourOS is a pretty good distro I've found. Also if you're still on Windows just for games there's absolutely zero reason to stay there anymore, with proton virtually everything just works. Project Zomboid, Project Wingman in VR, Elden Ring, HOI IV, Helldivers, you name it. It all runs quite well. Requires a little bit of tinkering but being familiar with your machine is only a good thing.

>>475793916>stop using windows/macOS>keeps using smartphones, bank accounts, social media accounts, gaming subscriptions, netflix subscriptions, CPUs with backdoorsThe lengths you have to go to have true privacy is retarded, and not using an operating system is the least of your problems.
>>475810591All you have to do is use Linux or BSD to have massively enhanced privacy. It’s that easy. Also it’s really suspicious when you faggots shill against it so hard. You have zero opsec.
>>475800178I'm flattered that you consider me an IT technician because I could figure out how to use the automated installation script and how to yaoart.
>>475808335>You fucking normies spend your whole life looking at a computer and have no idea how it works. That is a choice you made.First part is true, but no it's not really a choice. We're born with an inherent nature. The world is filled with people well versed in their area of expertise. If I were you I would keep the pride but drop the arrogance.>>475803834>what you are talking about is baby bird syndrome. You don't like learning new things and judge things on how easy it is to use based on what you are already familiar withVery true. If I were younger I would spend time looking into this. I use Windows but I absolutely despise the constant updates. But I'm too dedicated to my schedule as it is.
>>475810591> I use arch without systems> I use graphene os which is degoogled> the only social media I have is behind sandboxed environments which do not have access to any permissions on my phone.> I do not use banking apps> I have no subscription servicesJust because u are a bitch doesn't mean we all are
>>475810676>All you have to do is use Linux or BSD to have massively enhanced privacyNo, it's not. If someone install Linux and then uses Chrome for example, using Linux is completely useless. If I use a PC with all forms of safety and then use a phone also. I have already negated all the benefits of having a PC with enhanced privacy
>>475811353Your phone SIM card can be used by the government and bad actors to find out exactly where you are at all times
>>475811032> The world is filled with people well versed in their area of expertiseI am not calling for people to become software developers or sys admins, I am saying that it is a choice to be willfully ignorant of the devices that rule the world. Learning terminal commands is not rocket science, trying to be better at something is not unobtainable (if you have 100+ IQ I guess). I am probably arrogant, but I find the lack of motivation and willful ignorance more abhorrent. It is like driving a car but not understanding how to do simple maintenance like change a tire, do windshield wipers, change a battery, replace a light. I am not asking people to become mechanics, but a simple basic knowledge should be a reasonable expectation.
>>475811660Yeah, and there are probably systems beyond our comprehension tracking us, that does not mean it is not valuable to strive to be as private as possible.
>>475811476Chrome can be put into Firejail, and thereby can’t see anything outside it’s own dotdir.You’re not well informed because you’re a wintarded babby duck.
>>475811842Or you can just not use Chrome for that matter and use something else instead. My point is that using Linux is sold as a an easy way to protect our privacy, but the truth is that there are many more others steps that we have to take that are not so easy. Richard Stallman goes as far as using open source CPU or whatever on shitty notebooks, he never pays anything online, etc.
>>475812355So just don’t use Chrome? You don’t appear to be able to hold a train of thought from one post to the next. It’s typical of your Talmudic ways. If something doesn’t work, you pretend not to have made an idiot of yourself and just try again.It’s all tired and played out by now.
>>475812704I just used Chrome as a simple example of someone switching to Linux and not taking any other precautions
