I was going to add a lemmy and bluesky node but when I discovered they were only libtard echo chambers like the old Twitter was and anyone with opposing views wasn't welcome, I abandoned those projects because my take is the fediverse is about free speech and free speech has no value if you aren't allowed to disagree.

@lancalot And for the record, I don't have anything against Mint as an OS, it's Ubuntu with some pretty GUI admin apps thrown on top. I rarely use the GUI's so updates aside it's six of one or half dozen of the other. From a command line perspective, except when things break,they are identical and admittedly the aesthetics of Mint are in my view superior.

I have mint, ubuntu, debian, zorin, mxlinux, popos, fedora, alma, and rocky8 systems here, oh and one old centos6 system, and I use ubuntu for the majority of my infrastructure. Ubuntu always upgrades from one release to another in place successfully, the others do not. All the Redhat's are always a fresh install. Mint is about 50/50, and debian pretty much always requires a re-install. That and Ubuntu tends to be less problematic, especially after I excise snap.

@lambda @x00za Well for what it's worth, there is Redox, a Posix compliant kernel written entirely in Rust. There are some other aspects of Redox I don't like, chiefly it's use of a microkernel, which, while it makes portability better it exacts a performance penalty, and of having all drivers operate in userland, perhaps better from a security standpoint but again exacts a performance penalty.

A good example of this is LiPoly, a twit on a Lemmy instance, downvotes every post I make.

For what it is worth, I have a laptop with a touchscreen, Ubuntu Mate works wonderfully on it.

@LeFantome Even running a MIPS emulator in a 12-bit (4k) address space is a real good trick.

@rotopenguin @IceFoxX SELinux comes pre-installed on all Redhat derived systems and is an option in all Debian based systems, though I prefer AppArmor, it is just easier to configure and breaks fewer things.
