What are you confused by?

TP Link is backdoored trash

This is the result of Microsoft being so cozy with hardware vendors.

You’re the one that made the claim that they’re the “only mainstream brand that cares about Linux”. It’s up to you to prove it.

What $10/yr vps are you using?

You sure about that?. Where does this myth come from that Lenovo cares about Linux users?

“clean install” is Windows-user logic. Doesn’t apply to Linux.

should I develop for Amarok or Fooyin?

Fooyin would be my bet. The development is much much more active than Amarok and is a ground up new program, not a codebase from decades ago.

And now there’s a foobar2000 on Linux

are they just kissing Microsoft’s ass?

This. 100%. It’s why I don’t understand folks recommending Lenovo laptops to run Linux on. Lenovo is in bed well Microsoft and caters to whatever they want. SecureBoot, modern standby, etc. We need more vendors supporting open source firmware like Coreboot.

Edit: feel free to refute me instead of just down voting.

Fedora is probably the closest you can practically get.

Based on what?

Press X to doubt

Better to just buy a System 76 or Framework.

Agreed. Most Youtube thumbnails are cancer. Bug eyes with mouth wide open or pointing at something. Enough already.

Interesting. I didn’t realize it was structured this way. I thought it was similar to NixOS for some reason.

the only OS to make sense really

How does it make more sense than Fedora KDE?

Correct. It’s a combo of powerdevil and ddcutil. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L67

This seems like wishful thinking to me. Is there any data that supports that with more users comes more FOSS developers?

But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux? Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

Edit: Why downvote me instead of replying with a reason why I’m “wrong” or discussing further? Is Lemmy turning into Reddit already?
