They are vibe coding it.

I am not.

If you are hurt you should get help.

Isn’t Microsoft slowly pushing its fist into your ass?

Blissful ignorance.

You mean ducking? Because you can easily do that on the software side.

There’s quite some reasons why this isn’t always a given:

• You have to research a lot before purchase and you can possibly look over a small detail
• You can get something gifted by somebody who doesn’t have the technical understanding
• You could have been a Windows pleb that finally saw the light and switched, only to find the headset not working

There’s two arguments I have against your comment:

1. Fiber is fiber. If even 1% of the connection is not fiber you can’t claim FULL fiber. That’s just not correct. It’s like claiming a dish is completely vegan, ignoring the fact it includes eggs, which makes it not vegan.
2. There’s definitely a difference in fiber and copper wiring. Fiber is faster and allows for more bandwidth. For most home connections this is overkill and not noticeable. But an IT guy like me definitely prefers fiber over copper.

In my country it’s illegal to call it full fiber if it isn’t 100% fiber. That’s why the ISPs found a loophole and now call it “dynamic fiber”. They made me waste a shit ton of time troubleshooting why I wasn’t getting the fiber speeds, only to see a tiny print on the bottom of some KB article that said “only for those who have full fiber” after which I had to waste even more time trying to figure out what type of connection I had. I literally bought the “fiber” pack.

1 and 2 are taking their place for granted

For that price I can probably hire a Groom of the Stool.

The secure the boot for a good bootlicking.

It’s great for your mental state.

Just be aware of any filter bubble you might create. If you block every person that has an opposite perspective, you’ll fall into your own echo chamber.

You seem to imply you also want to selfhost some email service. But that’s sadly one of the few things that will always be better at a trusted third party email provider.

Besides that it seems the most important thing you want is pure data storage, and that kind of selfhosting is not hard. In many cases one would not even consider it as part of “selfhosting” as it can be as simple as a local NAS or external HDD.

So my question is what do you actually want to accomplish? Because I think for a lot of your concerns you don’t even need to go and host something.

Pretty decent, but there’s a few things I think should be improved:

• Logos !!!
• Instead of having a chain of distros as an answer, make a nice group and don’t point towards any one of them. I’m still trying to figure out if you have some sort of ranking going on.
• The split after “Windows or Mac? -> Mac -> <similar> or <similar and user friendly>” is weird and should probably be a question and differently phrased.
• Immutability is misspelled and not explained. The gradient also makes it looks more special than the others (while it’s just a difference). Maybe an asterisk with an explanation at the bottom would be better for this.
• At one point you use “Please” instead of “Yes”. I understand the joke, but people who could actually use this flowchart might not.
• SteamOS is not a viable distro choice. (For now at least) I would suggest removing it until it actually becomes one.
• “Are you a developer” has 4 answers but could be split into “Yes” and “No” with their own GPU questions.
• White on yellow/orange is hard to read.
• White on pink is readable but could be made easier to read.
• Maybe a better font would great too
• You could also add some Lemmy/Reddit/forum URLs where users could get Linux help.
• You could also add some information like “Just looking for a Linux laptop? Buy System76” or something (I’m not up to date with decent Linux laptop vendors)

You are open to critique so I hope you don’t mind this many points.

I was looking into both of these and it really looked like the fork was supposed to be the continuation of the original one. So this news doesn’t come as a surprise.

If UAC bypasses weren’t left unpatched I would have kept my own one so I could reign chaos as soon as Microsoft drops it.

You know what, I’m keeping it anyways, so I can prove an argument by telling you about it.

I’m sure many malware developers have tons of exploits ready for when support is dropped.

But Rust is super safe and protects against bugs and exploits!!!

You can probably get it working with some outside help.

Maybe !linux4noobs@programming.dev

I’ll get that info as soon as something breaks, I guess.

I guess this looks like WSL on Windows, except the other way around?
