Hot take: the more Gnome shoots itself in the foot, the better for Linux.

Obviously they need to make exit’s repr method raise a SystemExit

You’re describing the boot keyboard, not the full USB HID protocol. It is true that there are some keyboards that only support NKRO, but the USB HID protocol has supported NKRO forever. https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro

Me replacing GNU coreutils with the rust ones.

That doesn’t get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

But how am I going to use capabilities to have my equivalent of sl having setuid to nobody?

Let me know when I can get cups as a flatpak.

(Oh and snaps predate flatpaks.)

Yeah the API is open and there used to be an open store, but lack of interest ended up with the project shutting down. As it turns out people don’t like alternative stores nearly as much as they like the idea of alternative stores.

Bloat! Who needs an editor 1000 times the size of their previous one?

It using glibc still distinguishes it as more of a GNU system than, say, Alpine.

Yeah this particular guy also loves doing insane things to his machine. He’s absolutely mental in a wonderful way.

My personal take on anything Jon does based on my experience with his delightful antics is that the only thing we can say for sure is if it doesn’t work for him it’s just not going to happen. His blog is pretty great to follow.

Not to mention that I can’t find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

Does mint ship with a fixed version of ffmpeg?

I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.
