elementaryos is made for that sort of thing, its quite simple and friendly and you need to poke around it to get it to even be able to do more ‘advanced’ stuff. its among the most polished DEs ive seen design and user-experience wise.

and it is still linux so you can disable or otherwise restrict their user account from anything you don’t want them meddling with. like the settings app and stuff, try it out on a VM and you will get what i mean.

oh its based off of ubuntu lts so its solid

i think id rather have the slightly worse option than to bother with accounts for every desktop app

yup they are tightening their grip again

you can still pirate games without getting malware, even if a little late.

its always been for the clout in the scene. but ive been pirating shit for a couple of decades now, no malware so far.

they can make intricate folding devices now.

but making them repairable is somehow fucking impossible.

unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups

or you straight up pirate it.

except its bot competing standards, its just one consortium who has the holy grail universal standard making things needlessly convoluted on purpose.

holy shit. thanks, usb.

the enshitification will go faster now i bet

finally accurate ai

the ones i tried were already bad before the crackdown, and turned unusable for me after. includes yewtube.

i feel like its less meaningful because we dont have access to the datasets.

i mean this is the system we got set up isnt it?

are the instances always flaky and laggy just for me?

wake me up when they limit teenagers from fascist far right grifters

i love it when corpo types do this to themselves

i think you might be responding to the wrong comment?

it can be (and has been) blocked by musk on occasion though.

this one drove me nuts.

let me use the damn computer the way i want to. its mine, i paid for it. let me use small taskbar icons. let me remove the ads.
