My computer is amd and it computes real nice

I think he also called his supporters dumb

Wow you really were gonna get that out regardless of the post topic, weren’t you?

I wanted my computer to be secure but headless. Suse, fedora both had supposed instructions but in classic Linux style they had a bunch of out of date commands and software and it didn’t work. Fedora always required a human to enter a password on boot, suse just bricked.

Endeavarch had instructions (a maze of unclear gibberish, to be honest) that actually worked and did what I wanted with minimal fuss and it’s been operating well for 2 years.

😆

Don’t be such a ridiculous fucking hater you blind yourself to reality

Barring literally everything else, this steam box shares its lineage with the Xbox, not Sony or Nintendo’s products. Speaking as one who ran xbmc on their classic first-gen it’s nice to see things coming full circle to “everything is just a media center pc, bitches”.

That’s Andy to his co-rapists

Keeping it in your bedroom has advantages, especially if you’re prone to forgetting because you see it right in front of you before you go to bed. It also dries faster (less bacteria growth) and you never have to clear it out to clean your bathroom sink (obviously a non-issue if you have a cabinet).

But uh, I got you

We’re talking about things that take ms to decide and act upon. I mean if you prefer it or you’re used to it that’s fine but for many people I’d argue the cost of change in either direction is higher than the aggregate savings in time.

Having windows on top of each other might be useless but it also doesn’t hurt anything, and KDE already has the ability to snap windows into different positions. So this description doesn’t really capture the problem you’re solving.

We have had different experiences.

😭

Are we using the colloquial definition* or the definition of the person who coined the term?

*“Stuff I don’t like”

You lost that battle in about 2004 unfortunately

I appreciate that you tried to sound it out but unfortunately his name is in English so sounding it out doesn’t work :(

For context the original spelling in the post was Raygun ;)

No actually Raegan, English is fun.

I can’t tell if you’re deliberately trying to cheapen him being a rapist of children or if that was just a mid joke :(

My os does not do that

I don’t consider “wanting a secure app to be installed through first party means” to be particularly unusual. I know in Linux it’s standard to just install random stuff from the internet with root. I’ve obviously done that myself, but for secure stuff I want first party. Making a flatpak wouldn’t be hard (they probably just need to review someone else’s work – it’s like an intern project)

If you care to trust random strangers with your secure messenger that’s a choice you can make (admittedly the desktop isn’t particularly secure to begin with but even more reason to use the actual org’s build imo). I’m sure christian heusel is very reputable.

You added it in the subthread to my question and now you appear to be trying to blame me, in your head, for your error. Now that’s interesting.

The signal org produces a debian-compatible package and an apt server. I suppose there are hoops to jump through to make that work reliably on other distros but by that point my interest in using Linux was dwindling. (I actually moved for the performance benefits which didn’t materialize I think due to linux’ piss poor memory handling – I have a pretty low end laptop with only 16 gb of ram. the above we’re all just issues along the way).
