Huh? Is the previous poster an OpenRGB developer? That's cool!

Thanks. I'll check into it but TBH I do really prefer .DEB based distros and that one seems to be Fedora based

That's actually not what I was referring to.

First of all, RedHat now belongs to IBM, and they've never been shy about squeezing customers for a buck.

Second, having dealt with their support, it's hit or miss to get a somebody helpful or an endless cycle of tickets. Patching and versioning is sometimes a complete mess.This especially sucks as the main reason most organizations go with RH versus others is for patching and support.

There's also a lot of things where there's a RH-specific implementation , which is further distancing fun other Linuxes and often ignores standard ways of configuring things.

RedHat actually benefitted from Fedora, CentOS etc as it allowed the community to develop products in a way that could be tested to be reasonably compatible, and to develop our port back fixes etc. It wasn't just "RedHat made this and others just took it" but in many ways a symbiotic relationship. Yeah some orgs just went with CentOS but often it was those who worked on RH corporately would run CentOS at home in order to have a similar environment.

I used to be "Debian on the server, Ubuntu on the desktop" but recently I've spun up a few Debian boxes for desktop and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Kinda wish Valve would go for a full-out supported distro that stays in step with the Deck for Linux gamers (the old desktop SteamOS is kinda abandoned from what I can see), among with making the deck frontend a supported desktop manager. It would make sense for them to do so and rake in the game sales whilst providing a well-supported platform without the shit others are doing.

Increasingly so, and following the path that RedHat was taking prior (and probably worse to come given their new ownership)

IIRC they also had some stuff going around about how Tears of the Kingdom ran better on the emulator than the actual Switch.

Pretty sure that was the point at which Nintendo decided to unleash the dogs on them

Or just ... use it like a port where other nations can rent landing space? Maybe even share resources like the ISS does and charge others rent

Yeah it's funny how these rich babies frame it as being attacked when it's literally people responding with their money to the immature shitfest.

Not spending money on an asshole isn't revenge, it's people making an educated fiscal choice

And honestly, I've been using Excel for work stuff a lot lately (no OO or I'd use that) and it fucks up a lot and in maddening ways. Click a cell at the bottom of your multi-page sheet "Oh, you must have been trying to click A5 so I'm going to scroll way the fuck up here"

Copy-paste from other (even MS) apps also sometimes does weird shit

In theory, yes. In practice of they found some sort of exploit that allowed this I'd 100% not be surprised if Meta took advantage of it. Facebook app is malware

No I read the title as Mozilla's CEO being tied to brokers.

A better title might be "Mozilla just ditched a privacy partner whose CEO was found to have ties with data brokers"

Just do a "RetroPie" install on Linux. It was originally built for Pi's but works fine on 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu etc
