  • I don’t exactly remember what I said, but I have to say I wouldn’t call Linux as a whole truly cult-like. Additionally, I agree Arch is too complicated to set up, but also that Microsoft is doing intolerable things with Windows.

    However, some Linux distros do not have reasonable developers. It’s one thing to say Arch is complicated, that is true. It’s another for the developer of a niche distro like bazzite to refuse to explain the reasoning of a design choice and tell you “drop it or we ban you” for seemingly no reason.

    It’s not the only time I’ve seen this happen, nor are the other instances of such limited to me personally; apparently GrapheneOS has a paranoid(?) developer who is convinced that a youtuber who used to use that OS was a government spy. I say this as someone who still uses Graphene OS, that does not encourage people to be kind and courteous when you refuse to even just say “it’s easier said than done, not going to happen” to someone requesting a feature.

    As a result, I apologize genuinely for what I may have accused you of, just please don’t snap at me now that I’ve done so like that bazzite developer; I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped at you.







  • Hi. Can I apologize for getting so upset on your Discord and ask something? Next time you won’t do something, please at least recommend another Distro that might.

    I discovered my best option is Arch Linux, though setup was not easy. Projects like Steam Handheld Integration Project are probably the best option for someone if they ask for a feature and you are unable or unwilling to provide it, I understand you’re not obligated to code anything and just want to say that if a feature is outside of scope, recommendations for other distros is the best approach to deal with Linux newbies like me.

    Also, to anyone asking, yes Arch was a pain. It’s a small miracle I got it working. It is, however, a good option for Windows 11 handhelds like the OneXFly if you understand command lines (CLIs) like my brother.

    Thank you.




  • Yeah, sounds like you had awful digital hygiene. Not that it helps to have good digital hygeine like I did. All it takes is the majority of people’s opinions becoming sufficiently extremist for your life to be irrevocably ruined.

    Unfortunately, emailing people won’t actually get your data removed. They are supposed to, legally speaking, but they have already sold your data to those who maliciously make use of it. That’s the only reason they let that law be in place, because once they sold data, the new owner is not obligated to delete their copies of that data. And they sell this data multiple times, meaning there are now countless owners of data about your personal history. Not just for advertising, either. It is increasingly obvious it’s being used to sway elections. If you value democracy, get an ad-blocker and refuse to disable it for any reason.
