Good read, provided context that I didn't have before as a newbie

Mines too. Glad it's happening tho to circumvent the e-waste from those that aren't as aware/adventurous.

Beat me to it. I wouldn't give viewership to Fox News to watch conservatives get 'owned'

Way to go Cali!

In the video he provides additional use cases outside of crashes. If I'm understanding it correctly, one is the ability to seamlessly transition across and/or run multiple DE's in real-time, and the second is reimagining app loading by being able to restore apps from the disk as if they never left RAM. Someone please correct me if I misinterpreted this

Very similar experience. He did a good job of building to the "Ok but why does this matter" aspect of it all

I think the issue is that you are hypothesizing what you think you'd like, while ignoring all the real life examples that show things can go astray. For example, you talk about the benefits of not having a million little kings w/o acknowledging that the one kingmaker can make the head of groceries his inept brother-in-law who pockets half of the funds.

Instead of responding to people why you like totalitarianism, how about you show reference a historical example that was beneficial to a society?

I took this Udemy course for ~$10. Great lecturer who is passionate about Linux and FOSS

GNOME = iOS where they make decisions for you
KDE = Android where it's completely customizable

Based on my (limited) experience, Gnome is especially well suited for people new to Linux or inundated with too much to worry about customizing a DE.

Personally, my desktop runs KDE and I've spent hours researching/customizing it, while my laptop which is a glorified web browser, runs GNOME

Definitely look into laptop servers. They have the benefit of having a built-in screen, keyboard and battery in case power goes down. IMO, as a fellow newbie, it's an easy way to dip your toes into hosting using existing/cheap resources

Simple, yet better UX than most server-related content. Thanks for sharing

Same. I do have gnome on my laptop and the terminal was lacking relative to my KDE desktop, so I ended up making the switch there too
