I really like it as well. I did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless. I also really like Flatpak, finally a way of easily installing something on Linux without breaking half of the system because the application you wanted to install uses libfoo 2.0 and not libfoo 1.9.9-patch-1337. With my atomic desktop applications that worked yesterday also work today. Things don't randomly break all the time.

The future of Fedora Atomic also looks exciting; Timothée Ravier is working on sysexts which are a way of installing applications without ostree layering. I could remove most of my ostree layered packages with that.

Being able to visualise something helps but it isn't mandatory. Glen Keane for example has aphantasia and he was an animator and character designer for several hand drawn Disney movies.

Garmin is currently in the process of enshittifing their products as well.

There is this steadily growing activist group that you could join up with.

It's probably a reference to this blog post from a few weeks ago.

We use OpenProject at my job and its pretty good. You can use Nextcloud as a document repository and integrate it with OpenProject.

Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.

Unfortunately some things are just built to break within a relatively short time. Manufacturers like to claim that planned obsolescence doesn't exist but it absolutely does.

If something is already broken there is no excuse to not give it at least a try. There are a lot of instructions on the internet for fixing common problems.

Bruce Perens is working on something related with the Post-Open license.

Its Lunduke, a self-proclaimed a-political tech journalist. You can pretty much disregard anything that spews from his mouth.

Its not so bad, there is Jellyfin, the various arr applications ( Radarr, Sonarr...), ShareX, Duplicati, and a lot of libs. It might not be as active as C , Python or Rust but I think saying that there is no real FOSS movement is a bit unfair.

A self-hosted sourcehut instance might be what you are looking for.

I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I'd wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.

There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn't already receive the Wow Classic treatment.

I switched from Windows to Kinoite last year because it seemed to be the one distro that actually cared about stability. The first distro I used was Ubuntu 7.04 and until Kinoite I always viewed the Linux desktop as a bit of a joke because it always broke every other update. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, it didn't matter which distro I tried, after a few months something broke. I don't tolerate this on my primary computer so I always switched back to Windows. This is the first time I have ever used a Linux distribution where I can run an major update without worrying if I still have a GUI after the next reboot. So I consider immutable distros a huge success. I don't think I would still be using Linux without them.
