  1. This is only the 9th time I've read this comment. That's crazy!

  2. That's like saying that the tricycle culture is fundamentally broken. Because in the instructions it assumes (to you) that you have to be a Formula 1 race driver. In case my example seems WAAY blown own of proportions, that's exactly what the OP did. It is a really stupid (emotional?) take. So you know the Linux culture after doing one step-by-step guide ? And you think that's what a network admin needs to know to build a corporate network ? My example with being Formula 1 driver to use a tricycle is on the same level, really.

  3. It's been like that for many years already. It focuses and comments more on the future and the trends, not that much on particular stuff that's currently not working. It did that in the first editions, but it got boring and repetitive (for him) fast (every single year to mention how bad games are on Linux, for example), so he shifted on more of a meta analysis. While I wouldn't say no to have an actual list, roundup of all the things still missing or being broken in Linux, I appreciate this culture and trend analysis more, since it's less easy to observe and realize the current state or the near to medium term risks. He is usually a bit more pessimistic in his views, but, in a way, he's contributing to those things not having a change to turn into reality, by outraging people who in turn do something about it, before it's too late.

  4.  @Fonda-d3x  It's been like that from the beginning 13 or so years ago.

  5.  @alomac8976  That slow startup times, last time I watched a video about it, was largely been addressed. Also, if waiting literally 2 extra seconds when you open a program is that much of a concern.... then I feel sorry. The running performance was already on par with flatpaks, IIRC. The other side that xritics briefly mentioned, is that you can have anything as a snap, including daemons, system tools and I think, even libraries. That is, some things you can have them as snaps, but not flatpaks. From what I remember, a good example of that is Nextcloud, the cloud server software - which can be installed trivially as a snap.

  6. There's Serenity and Serenum (I know they look and sound very similar, but have almost nothing in common). But they totally don't seem like something you can make a lot of money off of it, though in 7-10 years, who knows ?

  7. That would be the only redeeming part there, investing into future revenue streams. But I'm skeptical.

  8. That's weird, I don't have that problem. Using Gentoo with pipewire and dwm (of course, with X)

  9.  @Fonda-d3x  Oooh, sorry, I though .... you get the idea. Thanks for clarifying!
