Trying to read more theory
I love technology, FOSS, learning languages, history, and philosophy
I love what they’re shooting for with it, if it was more reliable I’d switch to it in a heartbeat. It gives much more of a general Linux for TV experience than Kodi, which is more focused on being a media player, and that’s what I want personally.
Plasma, kodi has been rock solid for me
I’ve tried this on several different devices over the past year and all I can say is it’s not ready. It feels like alpha software, with many buttons and menus nonfunctional and frequent issues with windows disappearing and compositor crashing. Tried on Xorg and Wayland, as well as builds on ARM and x86
Nice this project was always interesting! Seems very feature rich, glad it’s out of that invite only stage
This is so cool, I love the project but have never been able to run it. What a lovely gem of good news in the mobile space to contrast against divestos shutting down. Hopefully it can take its position as a viable alternative to android roms in the next few years
Or maybe what you’re seeing is people with principles choosing not to support those who violate them when possible? This project offers little utility over thunderbird and is run by people with shitty and public viewpoints so of course I reject it. I’m trying to support projects that reflect the type of community I want to be a part of, and this isn’t it.
The founder of this project says he created it because of “cancel culture” at Mozilla after he got banned from the thunderbird project for toxic and derogatory conduct. I’m good on that I’d rather stick to thunderbird thanks
I think that would be absolutely pointless. The advantages of having a system that’s free to study, audit, modify, and contribute to goes away once you make it rely on proprietary software to work at all. In fact that’s not FOSS. There are already desktop operating system that works this way, with an open source kernel and core but reliant on proprietary software, with first party levels of support: they’re called macOS and ChromeOS
I would point you towards EndeavourOS. It’s pretty much just preconfigured Arch, so you get the same rolling release packages as Manjaro and retain access to the AUR. Its a solid project, IMO it does everything that Manjaro claims and fails to but properly
Yes absolutely, it is the building block of my security posture. I encrypt because I don’t want thieves to have access to my personal data, nor do I want law enforcement or the state to have access if they were to raid my house. I’m politically active and a dissident so I find it vital to keep my data secure and private, but frankly everybody should be doing it for their own protection and peace of mind
