PS. I can see your comment in my inbox and reply from there but when I'm on my post your comment doesn't appear. Some odd Lemmy thing?

I have no idea why that would happen. Probably something weird about Lemmy.

As for Waydroid, it's kinda finicky in how to start. Use something like btop or ps aux|grep waydroid to check whether you have multiple processes that are all running waydroid session start. It should just be two processes: /usr/bin/waydroid -w container start and /usr/bin/waydroid session start. I remember I had multiple /usr/bin/waydroid -w container start that I had to kill before it worked for the first time.

The devs behind Waydroid also have their own distro set up for Waydroid. You can try that as well: https://waydro.id/#wdlinux

I was able to get Waydroid to work in a Debian VM, so unless there's something weird about how VirtualBox handles things, Waydroid shouldn't care whether it's running in a VM or not.

What happens when you run waydroid status or waydroid show-full-ui?

The vast majority of both-sideism is done by reactionaries trying to hide their reactionary politics from their audience. There's absolutely nothing about him that indicates he's anything but a generic techbro with the politics of a generic techbro. Just skimming the comment section of his Youtube video just has the usual people whining about politics, which is rich considering that FLOSS has always been political no matter how much the OS part of FLOSS try to pretend that it isn't so.

Someone gifted me with some old iPad that's more than 10 years old. What steps should I take to install Linux on the iPad?

Windows 11 was officially released. That giant spike in late 2021 almost perfectly matched when Windows 11 was released. The Steam Deck was released in early 2022. So, from the graph, I would say the two main contributing factors are Windows 11 sucking to no one's surprise and the Steam Deck exposing people to Linux gaming.

Also, funny how even reddit allows r/Piracy but not .world lol

Imagine being even more of a corporate simp that Reddit lmao

It also fundamentally misunderstands why Linux has such low adoption rates at the desktop. It has much more to do with Windows being ubiquitous in desktop enterprise environments than Linux. MacOS is by all accounts even more intuitive and easier to understand than Windows with a greater selection of native programs than Linux on top of having billions of dollars at their disposal for advertisement, but you're not exactly seeing MacOS hit >60% of desktops.

Overall, for a thread that's supposed to help a newbie, this thread has a surprising amount of bad info. From saying Debian doesn't come with sudo (completely untrue, the Debian installer has an option of adding the user to sudo when most distro installers just add the user to sudo automatically) to saying installing MacOS programs is simply clicking on an icon (not really true either since the only time you're clicking on shit to install things on MacOS instead of using the store is if you're installing third-party software, in which case you have to dig through menus).
