Not even the same thing. They’re not stupid. They know people are going to use it. EMBRACING it would be more like adding AI nonsense tools wherever they can, and rely on automated systems that are based on LLMs to contribute code, which is not what’s happening here.

Debian isn’t “ambracing AI”? Where’d you get that?

Ubuntu has been making plays in that direction. Not the same thing.

WHOA. Bombastic claim there, brah.

He’s a Eugenics aficionado, and racist-ADJACENT

Hard to take anything these morons take seriously. I’d need to see some receipts to even half believe this isn’t the setup to declare an emergency in an attempt to delay or deny the midterm outcomes.

If it’s just a modem with no WiFi, then it’s not capable of this specific thing.

That’s what they are deploying. This has been possible for awhile, but has recently gotten much creepier: https://groundy.com/articles/wifi-densepose-full-body-tracking-through-walls-using-your/

Nope: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-routers-used-to-detect-human-locations-poses-within-a-room

It’s gotten even more capable where it can basically act as a presence sensor through walls as well. It’s not simple device tracking at all.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It’s not that it’s insurmountable or anything, but I’m answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It’s just a known fact.

Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere…etc.

Depending on what you’re doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you’re talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You’re probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you’d expect running at under 4G. Safely.

That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

And saddle them with the debt. Fuck the investors and the cyclical scam machine. They should forfeit that money outright.

I did miss that, though shouldn’t matter if it’s working after reverting.

That’s not how software works. RC is beta software. It includes warnings that there MIGHT be issues running it. Sounds like you found some.

Just revert to the known good work version if you’re not able to debug yourself.

Not sure what “RC7” is, can you clarify?

If you weren’t previously having issues, then just revert back to whatever version wasn’t giving you problems.

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

Gross

If it’s heat or hardware it may not show up until CPU, Mem, or GPU are under heavy utilization. That’s why I said monitor your temps and test your memory.

Are you saying games work fine without invoking the third-party tools?

This sounds more like a general hardware or hearing issue. Monitor your temps, and run a memory test at a minimum. Make sure you don’t have a bunch of stuff stacked on your machine or vents clogged.

Yes

What’s your point? Nix is meant for CI, but even still the defaults are set for multi-user operations.
