That’d be nice. Getting my monitor above 60hz requires Wayland on my AMD card. I’d like another desktop environment option.

Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don’t see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I stand corrected!

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don’t want to go with some corporate solution.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. “Here’s how we screwed up, here’s how we’re fixing it.”

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with “how I’m going to fix it,” but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would’ve likely prevented this situation entirely.

Edit: Other than the pushing of merch… Sigh… This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. “We screwed up, here’s how we’re fixing it.”

Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.

Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.
