The reactions here are why people don't join forums, don't ask questions, or choose to learn alone. "duh, I knew that". Yes, the dude didn't, which is exactly why he's frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it's like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.

People figuratively told me to shut up about the Linux Foundation's less than meager funding of the linux kernel (~2%), but this is exactly what happens because of it. It's stuck in the 90s because a few oldies earned well enough to be able to dedicate their time to it. Young blood doesn't have time nor the funds to fight an uphill battle against the greybeards.

Imagine if the situation were reversed and the Linux Foundation spent 98% of its 268M on the Linux Kernel. Imagine the amount of developers that would be fighting to get an internship there and make a career as a kernel dev/maintainer/technical writer/manager/whatever... Rust, better hardware support, better code coverage, modern contribution methods (not a damn mailing list), CI/CD, automated testing, better fuzzing, bounties, and so much more would be possible. Instead they spent...20% or something on AI.

The opensource community needs a worldwide Parliamentarian Group for Digital Sustainability (Parldigi) liks Switzerland has. A group that collects money to lobby for opensource wherever and whenever it can. It should further build a global network with projects and governments to allow analysing and proposing solutions to existing governmental IT problems by using opensource.

If we could get something like this going with worldwide engagement, I'm sure Public Money Public Code could become the standard.

The biggest antitrust lawsuit in American history is against Google (and Samsung). In this video we're going to look at if Google has been paying to be your default search engine on iPhones, iPads and other Apple (and Samsung) devices. What this means for us, search online and what we can do about it.

People complaining about something opensource not doing what they want it to do: dudes/dudettes, if you want to maintain X11, go right ahead. Or if you want it maintained, pay somebody to do it. But stop this incessant whining about opensource devs choosing a direction you don't like and pretending it's the end of the world. This isn't some faceless, megacorp with closed-source shit you have no control over.

If all the people complaining about wayland either put their energy to positive stuff like making wayland better or making X11 better, this wouldn't be a problem.

Many of us write opensource code in a void: nobody ever looks at it, uses it nor reviews it. We are the only users and authors.

In order to improve, where can we get our code reviewed? I don't mean professionally, just from like-minded individuals.

Android is opensource. You can get phones that support ROMs like LineageOS (would recommend a FairPhone) or /e/ (godawful name, good ROM) for example - you can buy the Murena phone for this.

Linux phones are about 5 years away from mainstream usability, IMO.
