Not sure why you'd think that though, as the art & music assets are needed by a client, not by the server. They could release the code for both the client and the server, and distribute the assets separately (usually not the kind of thing you want to distribute via SCM anyways).
I do wonder what their reasoning was. Having the code for an MMO client and/or server would make it much easier to write exploits, but it also means community supplied fixes and features. The problem is that people writing exploits/cheats tend to have a financial motivation.
Or you know, they could just be Israelis. Israel has compulsory military service, along with countless other countries including South Korea and several other western allies. Good job being outraged though, you're really sticking it to them!
It's really not. Python virtualenv, Steam, libvirt, composer, krita, vulkan, zed, zoxide, systemd, etc. ~/.local is the domain of various installed packages, not my hand crafted scripts.
If I hand write bash scripts, or for those single binary downloads, they'll go into ~/bin. ~/.local is already used by a ton of packages. This helps a ton when it comes to backups or for just finding where I put stuff.
My ~/.local is 283 GB, it's where podman/docker/etc put containers, it may as well be a system managed folder at that point. My ~/bin is only 120 MB and is a lot simpler to backup/restore/sync to other desktops.
I keep a list on my backup partition:

It also has a good cli interface for mass processing via scripts.
I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but holy crap does that ever come off as a whiny and entitled sentiment.
I was under the impression under-funding was the reason health care practitioners were avoiding the public space. I'm sure a "all stick, no carrot" strategy will work wonders though.
Sounds like she dodged a bullet.
I'm sure they can get Kid Rock to fill in on short notice.
I have a 3090 in one machine and a 7900XTX it my primary desktop. Pretending AMD "works fine and has no issues" is pure hogwash. When I primarily ran the 3090, I had no issues other than than the same standard ones I had with AMD (tearing in Xorg without picom, hardware playback in Youtube, etc).
Every person who parrots "AMD good Nvidia bad" is the same type that believes "if it ain't open source, it sucks", and usually is in the "I run some gaming focused, Windows-like distro so I can play my non-open source games" camp.
All I want is a simple questionnaire when someone signs up. "Would you run Linux on your desktop if it didn't have Steam/Proton support?" that would just lock all you XBox lobby/Windows refugees into a LinuxGaming community.
Are GPU drivers reliable on Linux?
As long as you’re not using Nvidia.
removed please.
Probably because the party politics of a particular country do not ever justify the military invasion of said country.
Nothing good ever comes from 'mainstream adoption' though.

People are best served by the facts, not competing biased opinions. What they deserve is another thing altogether...

If it works for somebody else, let them.
If it was just another method of distribution I wouldn't care. When it becomes the only or preferred method, then I care.
If market share is your only metric for success, then I don't know what to say. Look at the amount of threads/people stating "this basic thing didn't work so it had to be the distros, switching distros solved my problem rather than trying to diagnose it". Your idea of a "net positive" is a group of computer-illiterate Windows users who are now computer-illiterate Linux users, congratulations.
And Gentoo? I remember drobbins from when we were on the Stampede Linux team and he was a dick then, apparently he still is. I wouldn't touch Gentoo with a 10 foot pole.

Native, Containers, Appimages. Flatpak not in a million years.
I really don't know how to feel about all the Mint/flatpak supporters. It feels like a swarm of Windows refugees that have no interest in learning about the existing culture.
Flatpaks, Gnome, KDE, they're all just bloat. Back in the 90's, Unix/BSD/Linux were everything that Windows wasn't. Fast, stable, infinitely flexible. I cherished grepping for Exim config settings in /etc rather than searching through 250 management console tabs for MS Exchange.
I run Arch and nearly everything I need is available as a package or in the AUR, except for the real niche apps that I can grab via cargo/pip/npm/podman. Occasionally however I find some app I'm interested in and they only support Ubuntu or Flatpak, and I feel like it's getting worse so it's not like I can just ignore it.

Do you know what the median age in Gaza was in 2020 (before this recent escalation in genocide)? 18 years old. In my opinion 20 years per election might not be an ideal timescale for a democracy.
It feels a little insane to argue about democracy and representation when it comes to people who have spent their entire lives in an occupied state. It's like pointing out there's a brown spot on your lawn while your house is on fire.
The fact that you aspire for writing assistance tools to limit themselves to a 4th grade reading level is a pretty big problem.
Just installed EndeavourOS last night! BSPWM, Alacritty, MOC and BTop

I haven't used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.
After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!
