Skip to today, and Big Tech is pursuing the same approach, often in the same states.
They too have funded front groups, hired an armada of lobbyists, donated millions to campaigns, and opened a firehose of lobbying money to replace real privacy laws with fake industry alternatives as ineffective as non-smoking sections.
I've had a couple of things mess up, usually nvidia related (egregiously sleep, and I like sleeping my desktop), but because it's immutable I just revert the entire OS and come back to current in a few weeks, and it's good (not the best security-wise, but my use-case is pretty sanguine). That's one of immutable positives. Bazzite natively supports 6 months reversion, or in a pinch you can go back to Silverblue/Kinoite.
It's pretty easy for 80 (90)+% of competent computer users, get an old Macbook for that stuff (it'll probably be better) and switch your main to linux. The real problem is less competent computer users.
Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference. - Jim Butcher
Also some Russian hackers are brought down the Internet Archive
Er, do you mean the Russian hackers brought down the IA (and why, I'd peg government actors for that, more to lose, and more competent with legality) or were brought down by the IA, in which case I missed it.
No judgement, English grammar is obscure, but this sentence is ambiguous and incorrect.

Aye, to each their own. I went the other way, Arch -> Fedora -> Immutable Fedora, because I was sick of tinkering and wanted stability ;}
