There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

Doesn’t matter how happy the RAM supposedly was, you still pay for someone to cut it up into bytes and solder it into a chip.
No one needs RAM anyway, you can easily live off CPU cache and SSD space.


WTF can you link this?


There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.

It’s crazy that in 2025 hardly anyone is pointing it out.
Are you living under a rock?

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.


Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter.
That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.


I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/… before you can edit it.


You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.


It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I’m used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that’s on me, cause these distros work differently.


Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it’s become and how much it’s changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.


Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.


Yes. It’s the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.

Yeah OK, but back then, an office suite was like 500 LOC.
Repeat after me:
“You do not support a project or its dev in any way by just using the software you got for free.”
In fact, unless you donate, advertize or contribute to the project, you’re a net drain on its resources.
