That’d be nice. Getting my monitor above 60hz requires Wayland on my AMD card. I’d like another desktop environment option.

Digging New World and Albion Online at the moment. All those others are great, too. ESO can get tricky to install addons is my only comment there.

Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I stand corrected!

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.

OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would've likely prevented this situation entirely.

Edit: Other than the pushing of merch... Sigh... This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. "We screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

I did watch the video. And I don't agree with him. He needs to ask for a comment.

Nope. You call them up and go, "This is happening and we're running a story. Care to comment?" You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn't have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can't. You're still holding them accountable. You're just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont' comment, you include that.

Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They're doing great work. But that's a miss in this whole thing.

I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master's in public relations.

Edit: Called Linus "Linux"

Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.

Well, the important thing is we can still violently overthrow society when we don't get our way. /s

Unfortunately, no. The roasting process, well, cooks them. You can buy uncooked fresh beans though and plant those.

Thank you for your hard work! I'm a big fan of both systems. What's the alternative for systems relying on captchas keeping out bots though?
