The joke would have landed better if the depicted leftists were not anarchists but were accused/charged by the police of being anarchists

Poettering worked for Red Hat from 2008 to 2022.[2][3] He then joined Microsoft.

In 2017, Poettering received the Pwnie Award for Lamest Vendor Response to vulnerabilities reported in systemd.

This Mastodon stream from Lennart Poettering describes a sudo replacement — called run0 — that will be part of the upcoming systemd 256 release. It takes a rather different approach to the execution of privileged commands, avoiding the use of setuid (which he calls “SUID”) permissions entirely.

Basically Microsoft bloat confirmed, everyone switch back to OpenRC lol

inxi saves you time 90% of the time that you would use for lsXXX commands and grepping. Really useful for quick hardware and kernel module checks.

Compiz, XFCE, and GNOME <40 (now Cinnamon and MATE) proved quality UI design 15+ years ago.

It is actually insulting to Linux desktop that the default DE on the top distros don’t even have minimize and expand buttons by default, and that any extra features require DE plugins.

GNOME 40+ is like Wayland. Years of development for practically no real user improvements. Every update shows off features DEs had over a decade ago.

GNOME 47’s first listed big change is accent colors. wtf??? What the f*** do you think we’ve been using GTK and Qt for???

At least with KDE, the ram usage is justified. GNOME eats system resources just to give you a shitty ChomeOS UI that feels just as cheap.

The moment XFCE ports to Wayland, I’ll happily swap Compiz for Wayfire and use my computer like a normal person.

Unified system for popping tabs in and out as windows like a browser (mixed support).

Session handler for tying tabs into screen or tmux (you can do this by yourself, but it’s only useful sometimes).

2 player Mario Kart Wii, 16 race game with aggressive items and motion controls.

I watched my friend eat 5 blueshells in one race lmao

Fedora 41 with XFCE and Compiz checking in

We joke but SteamOS could be a game changer just because of steam’s userbase.

It’ll take some time because they’d need to to outshine windows in every way, including ease to use and all the stuff wayland forgot to implement. Right now it’s good enough for the deck, but they’d have to coaxe Arch into working for everyone.

Having a big customer base you can market to could legitimately open up Linux to desktop as a serious market share.

Even 15 years ago, DEs were pretty solid along with software. It was the lack of OEMs selling hardware that ran Linux along with Microsoft’s monopoly that kept it that way.

Of course if you are brave enough, you can always try it yourself with Nobara or Bazzite, but having Valve put a dedicated team behind their own distro would be very appealing.

looks at the master list of 3rd world countries with US installed regimes and dictators

“Man we don’t utilize our military might enough, we should escalate to war with our single global competitor”

“Accidentally”

Because people definitely can miss the big bold NEATGEAR logo and the clearly not a console shaped box with 16 Ej45 ports slapped on the front lol.

Happens all the time.

Unix devs: “Let’s make everything a file in our OS so that it’s easy to use and develop”

Windows devs (clearly on crack): “Let’s store random critical shit in a crappy database registry thing and retain literally all the drawbacks of DOS on our new NT system”
