Did you have somebody overwhelming you with the minutiae of research and “things you have to understand” when you got into PC building?
I just kinda started plugging shit in where it fit. This was in the days of the ISA bus and mobo DIP switches. All my technical knowledge was learned through breaking something and trying to fix it.
This argument was settled with electronic music in the 80s/90s. Samples and remixes taken directly from other bits of music to create a new piece aren’t plagiarism.

Seems to work just fine on my 2022 Gigabyte brand mobo with a 12-core AM5 socket Ryzen and Nvidia 3070ti GPU. Maybe it has trouble on things like laptops, which often have weird shit put in by their manufacturers? Or are you defining “very new” as “just released this month”?
I’m gaming on Debian stable just fine. I don’t get what everyone’s thing with bleeding edge software all the time is. To me, “bleeding edge” means “higher chance for something to break and blow up in your face”.
I’ll wait until the bleeding edge distro users got hit with all the bugs first. My preferences were just justified by the recent xz backdoor stuff.
I knew a pretty well off dude who used a flip-phone…in 2018. If he wanted to do computer-type stuff, he just used a computer.
Seems like a trivial programming task even my junior noob ass can handle.
There’s nothing wrong with charging for your FOSS. You can’t, however, force anybody who gets it from you to also charge the people they end up distributing it to like some sort of Ponzi scheme. The transactional relationship between you, your software, and another party ends at the first level.
Lol, that’s what makes me hate GNOME. If I wanted the bare minimum I’d just start a raw display server with only 1 program in it.
But my brain has no issue with dozens of things happening at once (ADHD).
In my experience, it probably will. I’ve learned to just leave stuff alone and let the distro people handle it all. They know their own distro way better than me.
It does mean free of cost if the person downstream from you decides to not charge for it after getting it from you and forking it. That’s why you’re not finding a FOSS license that allows this. Because again, that’s not FOSS.
This is not FOSS then. FOSS puts no restrictions on downstream use of your software other than that you acknowledge and credit the original authors… This is “Open Source” with strings attached. It’s no different than being forced to sign an NDA to see your code.
You either make it free for everybody, or then it isn’t free software.
Yeah, but those aren’t required dress code or anything. Most of us just make some shit up out of our heads that sounds cool and go with it. Then we’ll fill all our online gaming and social media account profiles with it.
Well, my Dad used to kick MY ass on the Atari, it’s only right to pass down the tradition and kick my son’s ass on PC.
Nick, nick, nick, nick, n-nick NICK nick, Nick-el-odeon!
If you don’t have a specific need that only Linux can fulfill, or are not an advocate of open source software or don’t really care, then why make yourself go through this and not just stick with Windows if it works so much better for you?
I can use it fine, because A., I don’t have to work with anybody else, and B. I use it mostly for programming and electronics engineering, which it excels at. You have other use cases, so it’s probably not a good fit. I’m not the kind of person that will blindly push Linux on everybody and their grandmother while lying through their teeth about the “easy” user experience. I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it, it’s an OS developed by tinkerers for tinkerers, and if you’re not a tinkerer, you’re going to get frustrated.
Or do while making sure you 100% know WTF you are doing. Some modern tech, like onion routing and encryption, are still very useful.
But if you’re not the kind of person who can convert a 32 bit hex number to decimal in your head or recognize a JTAG port on a device when you see it, then yeah stay away.
Sometime in the 90s:
“What are we gonna call it?”
"GNU Image Manipulation Program/GIMP. Huehuehuehue. trollface
“Yeah sure, whatever, it’s not like millions are going to end up using this thing.”
Dude chill! There may be minors here.
