Adding a bit more context, X.Org/X11 is often just called X for short

And we all get to suffer with it

I’m not seeing it on a quick look either, I thought it was spelled out but I think it’s mainly assumed that since the VP’s only real duties beyond the president of the Senate is as a replacement for the president and would need to actually be able to hold that position to be vp.

But I think you’re right, that’s just largely held to be the case but not explicitly defined.

He’d be ineligible to be vice president as well

Not that this would stop them, of course

Seeing as he’s literally already ineligible to be president this time since he incited an insurrection, and his entire second administration and everything it does is by extension illegal and unconstitutional

You’re a lot more optimistic than I am that they’ll actually follow the rules, even in how to change the rules…

Having just replaced a Maytag appliance only 4 years into its supposed 10 year warranty (that only covers the parts not likely to fail) because it would have cost as much as the machine did new to fix it, yeah… The Maytag is absolutely not better made and their “reputation” is just false advertising

Shit, even what we had in 2016 was at least something

That’s a great feature, actually, it saves you from using Windows

Perhaps because Steam is the launcher we actually choose to use? That does make a big difference…

Yes, the launcher I use for almost all my games which gives me a single interface to install, update, and run them. It has purpose. It’s the launcher I’m actually intending to use.

Eats Ass games (as one example) loading up their own launcher in the middle of that and providing no actual benefit other than wasting my time and resources is NOT something I choose to use.

Whichever one is primary or third party, I don’t really care about the semantics of it, but the extra launcher that isn’t needed or wanted is what I think of when someone’s talking about third party launchers.

I dunno, I tend to think of the useless thing that comes up for a game I bought on Steam and run through Steam to be “third party”… Maybe that’s a stretch, but whatever, it’s just unwanted and unnecessary at that point

Microsoft switching their Azure stack Linux build to their own Azure Linux distro, to me, is less surprising than them not already using it… When they first announced CBL Mariner (the predecessor of Azure Linux), I thought that’s what they were already running.

If I’m putting BSD or MIT license on something, I’m explicitly saying you can use it however you want, you can change it however you want, you don’t have to share back, I just ask for credit for my part in it

It’s not taking so much as being given freely

I’d be a little concerned about going with a single-maintainer distro, though I’m willing to at least check it out.

As for Fedora, I’ve never been a fan, but a lot of that comes from dealing with Fedora Core 5 (way back in the before times when it was still Fedora Core and not just Fedora, which is why the builds are always still labeled with “fc”), and that release was a hot mess

Also that it’s so closely tied to RedHat and how I feel about how they’ve been acting lately, but I understand RedHat doesn’t actually have a controlling hand in that? Anyway, I’m probably being unfair with that

And though I’ve thrown it on a laptop to mess around with, it’s not one I use much and felt like every time I’d take it out to mess with it I’d have to start with a major upgrade, the pace of their releases feels fast to me… But probably not as big of a deal if I’m actively using the machine

Hmm… Yeah, I think I’ll give that a try, carve out some space on my drives to toss it in there

Thanks for the reply! (I had a feeling Fedora might be your response as it does get a lot of hype for its KDE implementation, but a gal can hope for a different option to come up, right?)

How do you mean? And did switching distros fix it?

Also, out of curiosity, what did you go with and how do you like it?

I’m currently running KDE on Mint (Cinnamon is nice but limited and had some issues for me), but I’ve considered trying something else…
