Don't Google and Facebook (and maybe Redhat?) also contribute a lot to open source software? I get that stuff like chromium and android is open source but not really free as in freedom but you can't deny they do contribute somewhat.

Genuinely interested in what people think about, maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture.

It's both wrong? But racism is not the word to use here

Didn't the Soviets see geniuses and other intellectuals as a danger to society during the time this award was given out? Or are there incidents where this was given to scientists as well? I know you're probably joking, but when I suddenly encounter Lenin's head being used in a positive manner I have to look twice.

uBlock with "Cookie Notices" and "Annoyances" ticked on. Filter lists tab.

Username checks out but this standard was deprecated in the late 90s lol

I'm starting to suspect I just didn't get the joke

This definitely makes me confused. I thought their whole thing was that they were a proxy for google results??

Re-read the comment and say that again

Say what again

Read just a bit further and they explain how to install from source, although I don't see why you would go through the hassle

You used that word in the original comment, I'm only quoting you, hence the quotes. I don't think there is a perfect OS, but it sure as hell isn't debloated Windows.

You're right, no one cares what other people use, but comparing a debloated Windows install with a proper Linux install is just dumb. A debloated Windows install will never be "perfect" or exist without Microsoft bullshit it literally depends on most of it. And I'm not bashing debloating of Windows here. It's a fair choice if you have to use Windows and want a bit more of a lightweight experience. Personally I use Linux to use more FOSS software, tiling window managers and having in general a better idea of how my system works. And yes you're right that that's not for everyone but all I'm saying is that there should be an option besides amputating a shitty anti-consumer OS. At this point people are comfortable using a borked version of an OS whose main business strategy has become collection of personal data.

live usb not booting is a seperate problem
