Reminder that the topic was a proposal to switch the Fedora Workstation desktop to KDE from GNOME.

rmoog says: 13 years post fact is never too late to do the right thing. If Germany could apologize and repent for Hitler and World War 2, then all distros can apologize and repent for GNOME 3 and systemd.

There's no better place to indulge in pointless GNU/Linux circlejerk than the Phoronix forums. It's a great place to have such useful discussions such as complaing about xorg, complaining about wayland, complaining about Nvidia, spreading misinformation, being smug and pretentious about software created by volunteers. Complaining about Rust for being gay and memory safe. Complain about Red Hat being the devil and then complain about the devil controlling Fedora.

It should be needless to say this but don't be this person, like ever. Complaining is nerd behavior and you should be filing a bug report instead.

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply
