Unfortunately, he will leave one. A legacy of theft, fraud, deception, death. Will serve as an example of some of the worst of mankind.

Well that was unexpected.
Was looking to see it they had a new Debian OS release available with GPU for the latest FriendlyElec board i recently got. Nope, still stuck with CLI for bookworm ( or X11 and no drivers .. ), have to go back to bullseye still for X11 with GPU. BUT it seems they now have a proxmox installer .. cool. That i must try.
Does anyone else here use Manjaro as their daily driver? I use mine constantly. The most frequently used apps are Electron apps though: Zoom and OSS Code.
Never even tried it. What are the advantages?
Also what's the difference between OSS Code and VS Codium?
I think i had it on my pinephone for a little bit. But for me, that is it. I have pretty much stuck with Debian from when i came in from the BSD world. Back then, it was the 'closest' to real UNIX that i ran across, that was big enough to trust to stick around.

Isn't Codium community built, while OSS Code is M$ built and shipped, but based off the same code base? Tho i doubt Codium can use the M$ store.

OSS Code doesn't use 3rd party repos for installing plugins while VS Codium assumes you have root access. At least that's my understanding. They use the same plugins though.
Manjaro is an Arch derivative for 64 bit systems only. It's great on x86-64 but not so great on AArch64. My Pinebook Pro laptop runs the latter but hasn't been able to access WiFi for months now. A driver update killed the networking and I haven't gotten around to backing up the EMMC flash contents to reflash it with a fresh install.
The advantage of Manjaro are a tested, rolling release cycle with multiple kernel version support. I run my desktop system on the latest LTS kernel and leave the bleeding edge to those that have time to bleed.

VS Code is the Microsoft product, VS Codium and OSS Code are both community operated. They all use the same plugins though.
Liberation Mono is a nice terminal font. I might stick with it for a while.
Normally I'm an IBM Plex fan but this looks pretty good.
Whats wrong with Debian?
Lunduke is spreading the word: [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsKbj5bCS4A ]
They're getting more obnoxious about inserting politics into their software and governance models.

Whats wrong with Debian?
1 - Development is monolithic. If you want to install a piece of software in a more recent version that what is packaged for your release, fixing the library incompatibilities is awful because everything is so tightly integrated.
2 - Woke as fuck.
3 - Development cycles are too slow. This would not be a problem if they made good on their promise of releasing only when the distribution is in an A+ grade state... but when a bug slips in they take ages to fix it. In fact they might fix it on an upstream branch (ie. Sid) and mark it as fixed while the bug is causing dataloss for Stable users. Due to point 1 it is a crapshoot to import the fixes yourself.
It is not that Debian is "bad" but, to be honest, for a personal computer these days I would rather use Slackware. You get the slow release cycle for the core distribution but upgrading individual components (official and extraofficial) is much more doable. Not that I am a superfan of Slackware either, I think their release engineering sucks balls.
When I need something Debianesque I use Devuan. Most of the time I run BSDs these days.

Thanks for the link.
I find it disturbing that NixOS is also compromised. This is a bad thing because Nix is the sort of thing you could drop on a random Linux device not designed to run a regular package manager (such as, for example, the Steam Deck) to run regular Linux software. It looks like a whole lot of people (including the father of the project) has been kicked out due to political reasons - such as accepting a sponsorship from an "evil" company that makes weapon systems.
Realistically anything that has large team of humans involved, will have issues like this.
Often times, but not always of course, small teams or single developers will too. But with larger ones, you can almost expect the "political" posturing, which then trickles down to the "users" like this.

Well, yes and no.
I can't imagine OpenBSD being overtaken, for example. Theo is too much of an asshole to be preyed upon. If somebody pops up and calls him a nazi he will tell him to shut the fuck up and let the adults code, or a variation.
I like the way Slackware is organized in that regard. It is registered as an actual business with a single member (the main developer) and then there is a close team of contributors. That does not get a whole lot of things done, but the things they don't do are done by third party organizations. In other words: you have a very small team developing the core of the distribution, and then a community repository managed by volunteers with their own leadership elsewhere.
He is one of the prime examples of a project mostly run by single person, inserting his politics into the project.

Yeah, from what I've read they're among the worst: they make you explicitly sign on to their politics before you can participate.
Now we've got people calling Lunduke a nazi because he's calling out their bullshit and being heard by more than just a fringe audience.
I didn't watch yet, but since you guys think hes worthwhile i will later this week. But in his channel i noticed one of the titles: "Arch Linux Discord: "I think we should kill Lunduke""
So add Arch to the Sh*t List?
Perhaps we should start our own distro :) ( just kidding. i know how much work goes into that sort of nonsense )
