This is probably an extreme take, but kids shouldn’t be anywhere near a tablet while they’re still really young especially.

Devuan is also a low-friction alt-init option for those who are on Debian, and then of course one could go to Void or Slackware as well.

If you’re already on Arch, Artix will be easier to move to while you’re starting from scratch with a new distro with Void.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
That’s an option, and one I already took having recently moved to Artix.

Custom ROMs are unaffected, for now, but Google’s gonna find other ways to kill those.

Systemd is pushing age-gating at the init level, which means 99% of all distros will be age-gated.

Also, Amutable wants to add Android-style attestation to systemd, which means if they get their way, the majority of Linux will be as locked down as Android as far as telling you what and what not to install for apps.

Here’s the Lemmy post discussing Amutable.

This is happening to PCs now too, eg. with the OS ‘age-gating’ laws that IMO only exist to quell competition for MS, Google, and Apple.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I was referring to the Windows 365 thin clients that were recently announced, which counts as a cloud-based subscription.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Of course MS would want people to develop Electron apps given they’re trying to move Windows to the cloud anyways.

Blame Meta for lobbying for this shit.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Just host a bare git repo.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Think of how Wyse thin clients are typically ridiculously locked down, these are basically a newer version of those.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Assuming they’re not ridiculously locked down, which they probably are.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Plus laws going after alternative OSes, no doubt lobbied for by MS to eliminate competition for Windows, are starting to creep in now, see Cali and Colorado.

Next step will be mandating SecureBoot and limiting OS selection to a short list of approved options.

And the end game will be thin clients connected to the cloud.

How soon before the Internet Archive goes under because they can’t afford hardware anymore, and to take this further, how soon before self-hosting becomes untenable and self-hosted platforms like the Fediverse start to collapse as a result?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
DVD actually still holds up for 2D animation; it’s one of the few media that does, if not the only medium that holds up well upscaled from 480p.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Think about mp3 CDs…
- …Or worse, ATRAC CDs (yes those really existed), which thankfully also never caught on because had they caught on, given ATRAC is a proprietary Sony codec, they would’ve only been able to be played back on Sony CD players which supported the ATRAC codec.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Given all the attempts at eroding tech freedom, this might end up being future computing, but the cloud is state-controlled.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Assuming the bootloader is not super locked down or even nonexistent, think Wyse thin client levels of locked down.

If you ever wanna play 4K BDs on PC, you’ll need a 4K-compatible drive that’s been hacked with LibreDrive though, otherwise you’re stuck using a dedicated set-top player for those.
