That is nothing new, look at Afghanistan.

Not approachable at all.

I have had two kernel regressions causing unbootable install. Though i still use Arch on my laptop. For the homelab I would go Debian.

I have a arch and debian server. I am afraid of the arch server. Debian I haven’t touched since install other than updatingbit once in a while.

Who cares about the losers the consumers and the workers.

The only good thing one can hope is for increased support for open source alternatives which are just there but not good enough for production.

I agree pms is a pain especially if it is delayed for more than a month.

If you have seen three Stooges, that is what LTT videos are for me. No other value other than entertainment.
