Wooosh 😉

I normally use rm for that. Or wipefs if I’m feeling particularly spicy.

Yes. I prefer my os to be more passively adversarial. Like Gentoo. It hates everything equally.

end users have to deal with it either way

So, normal linux shenanigans.

There are ways to do it, buy per the EULA all are not allowed.

You should still do it. But be aware that you aren’t supposed to.

If everything is backups, everything is production. Truly a galaxy brain solution.

I wasn’t comparing badness or abuse, I was comparing autonomy. In the US they have the option to use the legal system to fight against things they don’t want to do. Usually ineffective, sure. But the option is there. Not so in China.

No, but a “company” in China has far less autonomy from the government in China than one in the US. For some people, that can be stressful

I, for one, welcome our typography as flow control overlords.

Big fan of bash. Pretty sure it’s already installed for you.

Because Fedora is open source only to the point of it being pathological. If there isn’t am open source driver most time you’re just boned. Someone new is going to have a tough time with it, and the community is on average a very “lol rtfm” bunch. Not as bad as Arch, but that’s not saying much.

Meanwhile, despite the problems around Ubuntu, Debian communities are much more understanding and helpful. Mint even with old packages is going to be an easier time for a newbie. Certainly a newbie unfamiliar with the way entirely too much of the FOSS community is.
