Whatever Happened to Unix Workstations? in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?

Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it's not their competitor at all.

Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It's always been private.

I think it's because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it's basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

I think it's just nice to be able to verify a file with a right click instead of opening the terminal and typing the *sum command. Yes, it is technically bloat, but also good for time saving.
