The long wait is over, Ganymede has arrived

I just realised I have been thinking about OSS funding the wrong way around

It’s not “the world economy depends on this stuff why is it not properly funded” (which is true) it’s “never before has a coupe of guys or girls in a garage been able to reach so many people, and stand a chance of getting funding”

The troubles people have finding ways to make a living whilst providing value to people suggests something is wrong not with them but the economy

after trying multiple distros 6 years ago to replace the enshittified Windows 8/10 [1], ended up at EndeavourOS + KDE. there is very little i miss about Windows. maybe Foobar2000.

amazing distro.

[1] after it messed up my linux dual boot config, continuously reset my registry tweaks with forced updates / restarts, insisted on re-enabling the io-destroying Defender, and started force-feeding me ads

I just switched to EndeavourOS for 95% of my home computer needs last week (I left my Windows install on a separate drive for gaming and especially those that require super invasive anticheat, e.g. AAA multiplayer FPS) and it has been a wonderful experience so far.

I recently tried this distro on my raspberry pi and it was awesome.

There's no context but from what I can tell this is a Linux distro release and the main line items for improvements are improved nvidia and broadcom driver handling. Not exactly the most thrilling release to hit the HN front page.

Posts like this would much benefit from a terse statement of context.

I've been waiting a long time for us to explore the moon.

I haven't been waiting for an Arch distro to release... whatever this is.
