If you look at it logically, it only makes sense.

With these Supercomputers, you often run on very specialized Hardware which you have to write costum kernels and drivers for, and if you arent willing to spend millions to get Microsoft to support it, your only other Option is Linux really

GNOME network monitors exists.

SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.

Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?

Just saying

The steam deck was 600€

The steam Maschine is 4x faster

I think your math dosent math

Just because Theres a subscription service dosent mean its hardened

Read what I wrote. Its not hardened LINAEGEOS. Its linaege OS with a subscription based DNS blocker you get for free via adbock.

Reminder that the IodeOS and such are simply LinaegeOS forks with a bunch of propriatery shitty subscription services thrown in, and literally hinder the progress on costum Roms VS if they simply just made a PR to add the phone to Linaege.

I could really love where in the article this study is.

TL;dfc

(Too long, didnt fucking care)

Just get the Linux mods to make a megathread like on c/piracy, and remove duplicates.

Fastmail.

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

This.

For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.

I still can’t believe millions of functioning hardware will be destroyed for this shit.

My mate,

half of my Network setup is currently running on 2 Fujitsu Futro S920s from over 20 Years ago, with 4 Gigs oft RAM and 8 Gigs of Memory, which I got thrown at for 10€ a piece. By how much Metal is in that thing, It would have been better for him to just recycle the 1,3kg of Steel and throw away the 10x10cm PCB in it. If some madman from eBay has hoarded that thing for years just for me, it won’t be different in 10 years for the next 100% certified autist stepping in my footsteps.

These PCs won’t be destroyed. The amount of 12 year old Autistic trans IT Linux evangelists^tm will just increase exponentially.

Ubuntu Pro is free for up to 5 machines.

Ubuntu pro Costs handing over your Data to a company.

And if the whole concept of getting extra security updates for unsupported packages really bothers you

And if it Bothers you that a company actually supports the packages it is making availible…

No, Ubuntu pro brings faster Security updates, even for still supported apps.

is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

Ah, yes.

You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.

It does not.

You can install a Sandboxed Version of it, but not more

Please tell me, where I can enable Seedvault or another local backup service without having to root my phone first or use apps like shiziku.

YES, I HAVE to use Murena services in order to back up my /e/ is phone without compromising security via root or shizuku. Prove me wrong, and send me a fucking video about it.

You are back with your Spam

NOT on by default

This is a Private OS. They should not have this integration, since there are more than enough FOSS alternatives.

for paying customers only

Dosent change my point.

tries to anonymize the data

Tries. Tries. Tries.

They claim to be private. They incorporate a non private Service even though there are valid alternatives. Thats where this discussion starts and ends.

privacy-first company

My

wet

asshole

is a Privacy first company.

They are worse then Linaege. Linaege at least supports local system backups. With /e/, you have to use their own unencrypted servers.

(Also btw they support Phones with not anymore updated firmware, which partially allows script kiddies with a flipper zero to exploit your chipset)

I can tattoo „privacy first” on the inside of my asscheek. Dosent mean it actually means anything.

Like I said, /e/ is not at all better than LinaegeOS, but instead takes the OK LinaegeOS, adds their own insecure services, removes everything that could be more secure, and misrepresents what is essentially a LinaegeOS Flavor as

• uLtRa gIgA sEcUrEeweeeeeee!!!;111! V. 1211 b !!!

So this kill switch will auto delete all the telemetry /e/ collects by default, including the Voice data Sent to OpenAI? right? RIGHT?

Btw, if you dont understand their text, let me translate it for you

We took out loans from a bunch of venture capitalists in order to make a phone with a weird gimmick which is completely unnecessary since our OS collects your Data by default and dosent care about your Privacy at all anyway, just so we can please a crowd of tech hippies who have no idea about actual privacy but want to look cool by switching off their Camera after posting their 24/7 location on facebook and letting ChatGPT analyze their breakup text. (Also btw we have to somehow pay back those millions by raising our stock prizes, so stay tuned for our cloud selling your unencrypted photos because we have to enshittify).

The only reason to have hardware switches is if you fear that you’ve been compromised. And if you’ve been compromised, why would you continue to use a compromised phone for things that need your location or access to your camera?

And if you go in with the expectation of „this phone is going to be compromised”, just remove the Camera and everything and attach a Webcam or Mic for whenever you really need it. This way you can actually verify easily if its on, instead of having a mm button that can be easily toggled while putting the phone away
