    As a rule of thumb people stop to mass murder other people, without guns. With extremely rare exceptions, we don’t have that shit outside of the US and our schools are not shooting ranges.

    The other two things you wrote are not reasons, they are a) a slogan that you could put on a 12 years old t shirt and b) something someone who is having a heart attack might say




  • I have a Linux pc hooked to the TV and it’s very convenient to use while lying in the sofa. In fact that’s all I use the TV for. And the reason I am interested in this post, as my 12 years old dumb TV will kick the bucket on day it the other.

    The pc is my server/nas and runs kodi in a container that outputs to the TV. It has no keyboard nor mouse, but I do have a remote controller that I had lying around from an old android TV box. Basically you turn the TV on and kodi is there waiting with all my movies, series, and iptv to choose from. With a great remote controller that works beautifully with kodi.

    The remote is a minix neo a2 I have had for years. Highly recommend it. If it dies I’ll do a quick research to see if there is something better this days, but I’d be keen to buy another one straight away.






  • Disagree, there were, possibly still are, good ones. A handful around mushrooms cultivation, food preserving, food fermentation and personal finance specific to my country come to mind, lots of high quality content.

    But I know what you mean. I think it mainly happens once specific subreddits started going mainstream, often with an influxnl from facebook people. Out of all the fermented stuff, the kombucha one made my eyes bleed due to its popularity. Half the posts where new people asking if they had a mold problem, the other half was existing members posting “read this before posting, this is what mold looks like”, but they were obviously ignored lol


  • Is that really a valid counter argument though? We could say most computer users use windows, doesn’t necessarily make it a better os choice.

    Yes the community has decided, fair enough, op has already said let’s move on. People that have been around for a bit longer than most here and have seen and used Linux from the very beginning are still entitled to an opinion.


  • In fairness reading this thread all I see is systemd good

    Why: i find sysvinit start up scripts too complicated to read/modify so let’s drop this gigantic mammoth that does a million other things on my lunux system so I don’t gave to learn how to write a shell script.

    I don’t have much skin in the game and have been out of the loop for many years but don’t find many of the arguments in favour of systemd very convincing
