Distro-hopping is a valid hobby, but it's not for everyone. If you aren't specifically interested in distros and fiddling with packages, hopping around on your "daily driver" can be disruptive. If you just want something that works, there's nothing wrong with figuring out which distros do what you need and using one of those for work and play. If something catastrophic happens to a distro to make it literally unusable, you can worry about that when it happens. There is usually something else which is almost the same. Few people will get much value from hopping between distros which are basically the same, just because the distros are put out by different companies or install different packages by default.

This wouldn't surprise me, among the group buys on GeekHack over the years.

The post volume is still much lower, but that isn't all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn't as bad and unlimited scroll time isn't healthy.

It sounds like SUSE is announcing that it is happy to eat the cost of providing a free distro that is RHEL-compatible, and to offer paid support to customers who want to use a RHEL-compatible distro, all as an add-on to their core business with SUSE. Can anyone correct my understanding?

If I signed up to a mag on one instance, that doesn't mean I want to sign up to it on a different instance.

Nobody is talking about banning users "the moment they mention anything more eastern than Norway."

The issue is not whether there is some individual occasion where some individual person posts "conspiracy shit."
The issue is whether admins act on user reports of blatant anti-semitism.
I want to play with the C64 core, but I have an ordinary PC keyboard plugged into the MiSTer, and it is incredibly hard to find the right keys for things like the double quote. Is there some obscure file I can write to remap the keyboard just for the C64 core? I don't necessarily want to change the global MiSTer keymap because I also want to use other computer cores, and switching the keymap back and forth is going to get old quickly.

You're excusing Soviet atrocities by saying "what about the US." Try doing the same trick to excuse Nazi atrocities.
Tankies are disgusting.

Who is "they" in phrases like "they control the narrative" and "they're coming for the platforms"?

RTX 3060 12GB works great on Linux using the Nvidia drivers and CUDA. No reason why it wouldn't.

Do you have any concrete criticism of the Orkney council? If their fundamental complaint is neglect (evidenced by low per-capita funding relative to other island governments) then it hardly makes sense to blame that on Orkney.

It's a serious accusation which logically has a high standard of evidence that is hard to meet, requiring some knowledge of intent. A publication like the Economist cherishes its reputation, making it more risk-averse about making accusations it can't back up. Until these people provide circumstantial information like doing something illegal and fleeing to Russia, it will be hard to make it stick.
Anyway, Russia doesn't need to put most of these people on the payroll to make good use of them.

this whole situation is just showing investors it's worth even less if the user base can revolt in the way that it has.
Beatings will continue until morale improves.

I'm a Science Fiction fan. I've read a fair amount about what Solarpunk is ideologically, looked at inspo albums, and things like that, but I haven't yet read any works of Solarpunk fiction. What are a few of the works of Solarpunk fiction that you feel best represent Solarpunk, or showcase its literary possibilities? Whether that's more from a writing quality standpoint or an entertainment standpoint, I'm not picky.
