Some people don’t JUST use their PC for gaming, other features also matter.

PopOS is sadly far behind the latest Ubuntu release

I’ve setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.

Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

It used to be true that Windows is better for gaming. That’s no longer the case.

Since steam deck runs on Linux, they made a compatibility layer allowing you to play windows games on Linux.

I switched to Linux a few months ago and have been able to play all my games just fine.

(also dual boot is an option)

I still don’t see how the US can stop anyone from forking Debian etc.

Worst case scenario I can see is “The US implements martial law, no more trade what so ever allowed with anyone outside of the US and they put up a fire-wall to block all internet”

In that scenario we literally just pull Debian from the European mirrors, fork it and create NewDebian.

Problem solved.

Currently we heavily rely on Microsoft, Apple etc. If the US does the same thing, we’re fucked because we can’t just fork MS or Apple software.

They’ll stop receiving updates, but we don’t have to switch over in a week right?

Ubuntu is just an example {{insert any Debian based distro here}}

Debian is open source though. So unless they make it closed source we can keep using it.

Making it closed source would probably kill it and a fork would take its place.

Can’t we just keep going with Ubuntu and fork it the moment the US wants to do anything funny

Fire

Currently I’m just using CF as a tunnel so that I can reach my server through eg. immich.mydomain.com anywhere in the world. The issue I’m running into is Large files fail (they have file size limits)
