Different goals and different designs. Why are there so many Linux distro?

Snap is proprietary. Appimage does not include distribution and updates. It also doesn’t attempt sandboxing of any kind.

On the other hand, I find appimage very convenient to use.

That is definitely a sacrifice being made here I agree with you. It gives developers more control over exactly how their app runs, but it does mean less storage efficiency.

I don’t think Flatpak is going to be compatible with Steam anyway in the long-term because layering container solutions doesn’t generally work very well, and Steam is going to want to use its own solution for better control over the libraries each game uses. Earlier versions used library redirection and some still do.

But y tho?

Are there any conditions about what I can wear under the sweater? Otherwise, it doesn’t seem terrible.

I love what Flatpak is doing for Linux desktop. Let it grow!

I do best at 1 Atm.

More money tho.

Tiny Core Linux is a minimal Linux kernel based operating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK. It was developed by Robert Shingledecker, who was previously the lead developer of Damn Small Linux.

Ah, that explains a lot! Didn’t know about TCL.

Hm? Do you mean a link to builds that are this small? My midrange Intel i5-12600K (I’m a working man, doc…) L3 cache is 20,971,520 bytes. My Linux Mint (basically Ubuntu kernel) vmlinuz right now is only 14,952,840 bytes. Sure, that’s a compressed kernel image not uncompressed, but consider this is a generic kernel built to run most desktops applications very comfortably and with wide hardware support. It’s not too hard to imagine fitting an uncompressed kernel into the same amount of space. Does that help to show they’re roughly on the same order of magnitude?

Ten years old kernels could be 2 MB.

I’ve seen builds of the Linux kernel that comfortably fits in my on-die CPU caches.

So it would just be a picture of an empty sofa.

That awful magsafe adapter design with no strain relief grinds my gears.

Not indexing at zero seems like a waste of a perfectly good integer.

That’s a different standard. I’m not claiming that there haven’t been negative consequences, but I would hardly call the economic sanctions “backfiring.” To me, backfiring means that the action actually brought the West further away from their goal of harming Russia using nonviolent means with the sanctions.

Consider the price of oil. Having options to sell oil in more markets means you can generate more profits. Being forced into selling oil only to a smaller set of countries who are willing to purchase your product? That’s going to have economic consequences even though it does increase isolationism. I also imagine it’s quite a bit more inconvenient being an oligarch right now in the presence of sanctions.

Has there been some blowback? Sure. But I don’t think it’s backfired completely. There’s definitely been a major impact.

I don’t think the article successfully argues its main point. Sure, sanctions are galvanizing, but I believe it’s well understood that sanctioning a country is going to result in that country pursuing any other viable avenues to conduct their economic activities. It’s a stretch to say that the sanctions backfired. I would say it’s more accurate to write that the sanctions have resulted in profound consequences, and not all of them are good.

About time. 8GB is unacceptable for all but the lightest common use cases.

As far as I am aware, only the living have a problem with the grave robbing.

Just try it and see how your new cyborg hand DRM prevents unauthorized body modifications.

Also, scientists are already at work finding ways to inject advertisements directly into your brain.
