@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i guess i haven’t heard anything about any of that happening with linux as far as i know the whole age verification stuff didn’t affect linux and i haven’t bought any linux its freely available you can choose to use it or dont and its he source code is still available so its not like you cant look at it too so im really not sure where any of that applies here

    Doesn't affect Linux... yet.

    EDIT: I should add, this opens the door to many other government intrusions where they might require other personal information to be inputted to use your computer and access the internet eventually.

    @ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i cant tell the future. eating a burrito opens the door to needing to take a shit but i still do it. using anything you didn’t completely produce or engineer yourself opens you up to having to accept some level of things. idk i guess at that point you build your own thing choose your own tool’s but the #EFF works hard to keep an eye on things but buddy there is only so much we can do before you just have to turn it off and live jn the woods on squirrel meat

    I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. That's why there's Devuan, for example.

    @ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace you’re correct a lot of people agree thats what opensource promises me. not that i will like everything some distribution does but that if i dont like something I have a choice if its a big enough concern I will switch but i also don’t know everything and make dumb choices sometimes and break stuff like my OS install and my life lol I thought meth was a good idea once for 6 years it was not I pick my fights that matter and sleep with one eye open on the rest

    Amen.

    I'm just pissed Debian went the SystemD route. Ubuntu and Fedora I can understand. One's a corporate distro and the other is RedHat's child. But Debian? At least give the option to use an alternative.

    Anyway, I understand what you mean and I'm sure you understand how I feel.

    @ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i do. I love Debian. I’m from Indiana it’s a requirement lol. Ian Murdock grew up an hour from me. But I guess I try to understand with the big guys they are working towards desktop linux. normal people arent like us. honestly until theres a comprehensive set of GUI tools for managing systemd and people never have to touch a terminal GNU Linux wont have a place in home desktop market. Its getting there though. I hope people keep the choice alive though.

    Oh that's really cool! Did you ever meet the guy?

    Also, I agree with the GUI part. Especially nowadays with people being so used to tablets, even the kids, that using a PC is becoming confusing.

    Maybe when Linux becomes a serious contender on tablets and smartphones, that will all change. Who knows.
