Well yes many arm PCs do work, im just saying eventually they will be locked down

I would say if/when PCs move over to ARM than we very well may see the same issues mobile devices have. There is a severe lack of Linux compatibility due to proprietary drivers, sometimes no drivers at all, no software support, and no device trees.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 1 week ago:
My experience is a Framework 16 I dont personally own, however I do have a T440p and build quality simply seems superior. I vastly prefer a durable and hard plastic above a thin mental sheet that bends.

Framework is more repairable but Thinkpads simply have superior build quality with less issues.

I highly doubt it
- Comment on Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store 1 week ago:
There are a few key issues with mobile Linux:
- UIs that have simply not gotten any attention
- A severe lack of decent hardware
- Scaled down desktop apps on a phone (seriously who thought this was a good idea)
- No security whatsoever
- Basic features missing or requiring a significant degree of tinkering to get working such as audio or calling
- Comment on Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store 1 week ago:
Apple is basically the default (at least in the US) so if Android cant offer significantly more theres not much reason to use it

Blaming the flipper zero for hacking is like blaming lockpicking tools for why masterlock sucks so much.

I hope every CEO and executive dumb enough to invest in AI looses their job with no golden parachute. AI is a grand example of how capitalism is ran by a select few unaccountable people who are not mastermind geniuses but utter dumbfucks.

- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 5 weeks ago:
Minecraft is simply superior in every imaginable way as an actural game that you acturally play. Lunati is a project you develop but its not really something you play, you test it. Lunati feels awful, looks awful, and is the absolute definition of “at least its open source”. Open source gaming simply doesn’t make any sense.

Im not militarily occupying a land, stripping the natural resources, and extracting labor value from a people while justifying under it the pretext of a national identity and state wealth. They talk of national unity yet their capitalists exploit the workers all the same.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The west has used that logic for decades to justify brutal military occupations. I say that land and resource belong to no state, any claim of ownership is inherent violence.

Why should any state inherently exist? I’ll say it about the US and ill say it about Russia. No state deserves to exist, the second their military is no longer strong enough to enforce their rule they dissapear.

Liberals still support them, and anyone who still belives US imperialism is a good thing. Basically people who will complain about Trump ending usaid not because its neocolonialism but because Trump is destroying the American empire with his incompetence.

Thats because pixels fit the rigid standards, if Fairphone met them they would make a version for them

If they were serious about security they would partner with the GraphineOS team

I dont understand Fairphone, flashy hardware with poor software security and awful sustainability (they stop selling parts quickly).

- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
Because theyre eithet vauge, blatant lies, or not something people care about:
No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
Most people are willing to buy new hardware, and nobody pays for a Windows key tbh. Even if they did it would be a free upgrade from 10 to 11. Also the terminology is very enterprise focused and objectively some distros (ex REHL) are paid.
Enhanced Privacy
Once again not something people strictly care about. In addition if you use Linux exactly like Windows with Chrome, Whatsapp, Discord and other non privacy respecting apps you’re not improving your privacy by much.
Good For The Planet
The implication that carbon emissions is something an individual can do something about has been objectively disproven. For any meaningful change you need societal change from the top (especially corporations and rich people).
Community & Professional Support
Online Linux forums and chats especially for new people can be extremely overwhelming. Especially when a Windows user comes in and asks why something isnt exactly like Windows. Also once again movements like this is why people dont like the Linux community.
Better User Control
Most new Linux users not only wont use them but especially in KDE software will actively be overwhelmed by the amount of options and menus. Additionally what this critically leaves out is the fact that more advanced customization requires more skill and experience the more advanced it is. There is a clear skill difference from installing a widget in KDE Plasma to compling and installing a custom kernel.
Now lets talk about the things they should have mentioned:
- Less commercial software: adobe especially but most professional grade editing software for both video and photo does not support Linux (yes I know Davinchi resolve technically does but the Linux version is so awful you might as well not use it)
- Linux is not Windows or MacOS: Linux does its own thing, sometimes this is good sometimes bad sometimes its highly debatable (and Linux users will debate it). Because of that if you expect to use Linux exactly like Windows you’ll get confused and frustrated.
- Package managers: Almost every major DE has a graphical package manager frontend, this is a good thing and should be talked about.
- Desktop Environments: Show what they look like, KDE Plasma and Gnome. It should be explained their differnces and who they’re made for.
- Distros: Explain a few of the most common distros and who they’re made for. Debian is the most stable but gets few updates, OpenSuse tumbleweed is bleeding edge, Fedora gets updates once every few months, Arch is unstable and not reccomended for beginners, Pop_OS is great for gaming.

On Mobile OS updates are tied to firmware updates while on PC they’re completely seperate. Its also a severe issue on Arm based Linux PCs, if they loose support or worse never had Linux support they can be nearly impossible to use.

For that use Windows 10 IOT LTSC
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
Because mass recommending Linux to people with absolutely no nuance whatsoever is exactly why Linux users are seen as obnoxious and annoying. Not only does the website make no attempt to properly explain Linux it doesn’t clearly outline its usecase. Its the very definition of the Linux user stereotype, blasted right in front of your face, reposted everywhere, and with a simple INSTALL LINUX and EVEYONE CAN INSTALL LINUX.
