160GB ram for 20 bucks… I’d have taken that regardless

State capitalism is when the government has controlling stakes/legislation in all major economic actors, ensuring they pursue government objectives, while still allowing the capitalists involved to extract the major share of profits.

A real world example is China.

Can i be in the manifesto screenshot too dear feds

Some Clients such as Voyager have it

Helldivers 2 works (or at least used to when I played it) as well, while requiring kernel access on windows

I’m a bazzite user for a good year now, and also a first time Linux user. My hardware is amd as well, and for me the experience has been great, the most annoying issues having been compatibility workarounds for windows software. I would definitely recommend you to join their discord for support.

A green screen of death does not sound healthy, even crashes or hard reboots have never produced something similar for me. To rule out hardware issues, can you install a windows copy and/or create a USB with a live Linux OS such as mint to compare? (For reference, some Linux distros are able to run entirely off a USB stick, albeit much slower due to the obvious bottleneck).

If all this checks out I would suggest either reinstalling bazzite off a verified iso (there is a function before installing to make sure there are no errors) or using another distro.

Gotta use less popular locations close to what you need. As a german I have mostly been using Finland and other smaller eastern European countries, those generally work just fine. Germany itself barely ever.

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

Funny there is no russian aggression towards Ukraine being ridiculed

But I’m sure thats just coincidence, right guys 🙃

Your threat model seems… Interesting lol. Is there a high chance of people trying to aggressively plant a tracker on you when out in the open?

For the next storage revolution go with the opposite of your prediction maybe

I only moved to Linux myself last year, and went/stuck with bazzite. I use my computer for gaming, browsing the Internet, consuming media and occasionally some basic office work, which all work just fine right out of the box.

I haven’t even had to use the CLI much yet, and am still very inexperienced using it, but the fact that I am able to use the OS as my daily driver without any real need for the CLI should speak volumes to its user friendliness.

Why the fuck are there so many people in this thread trying to argue that a Chinese government sanctioned OS is a good choice?? Are you all insane?

My point merely was, and still is, that people shouldn’t recommend CCP bullshit over windows out of some misguided “brand loyalty” to Linux. Yes, windows is a poor OS made by a for profit corporation, aiming to make money off their users.

Now why the fuck would anyone conclude that instead of those “only” greedy pigs, a government that doesn’t even represent them and most certainly doesn’t have their best interests in mind, should have a native snooping feed built into their daily driver?

Especially when there are more actually free and open linux distros to choose from than there are colors in a rainbow?

TLDR: Windows sucks, I agree, but literally recommending government spyware over it is batshit insane and entirely antithetical to the free and open ideology behind Linux. And all the people responding to me seem to conflate arguing against ccpOS with arguing for windows.

Are you saying a corporation seeking profit and a hostile nation seeking global hegemony are the same level of evil?

Also, I dont use windows either ffs. Thought that was obvious.

Zero reading comprehension. I am not a windows user myself as I said, and would happily recommend virtually any other Linux distro (aside from the fact that I am at best a novice when it comes to the various differences) over windows.

But not one made by, or at least greenlit by an autocratic regime that actively seeks to gain influence abroad. People shouldn’t use fucking red star OS either.

Ah yes, a dystopian government OS with direct uplink to the thought police is much less of a security risk and convenience loss than a by all objective measures reasonably working and widespread OS with broad compatibility, just because the latter is made by a for profit corporation, MICROSOFT EVUL GUYS AMIRITE

I’m a Linux user myself due to the hostile practices of win11, but get some perspective ffs

Well yes obviously nobody can prevent the recipient from taking a picture of the screen with a second device or writing down manually what the message said.

No system is foolproof, but those features are definitely miles ahead of anything meta provides, since they dont actually want those chats to be encrypted. They want that data, it is their business model.

Pretty, sure the more user / privacy friendly options prevent screenshots or copying from an encrypted chat, and also allow the participants to delete their messages after they were read or even a set time.
