Sure... I mean why are you wary of them because they work with the US military?

due to their support of the US military

What?

I find the git CLI pretty intuitive

You might be the first person to ever say that! How do I delete a remote branch?

Still better than Device Tree though right?

that they would disclose on their website

Wouldn't it make more sense then for them to simply host the Flatpak themselves? I kind of thought that was the whole idea of Flatpak.

What would they sign it with? How do you verify the signature?

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah just encode the files locally and rsync them to the server. You could even use a Makefile to do the conversation.

I don't think it works well enough yet.

Some of us live in the real world.

I don't think height adjustable matters. It's more important that it's deep (80cm+). Though I think most height adjustable desks are that deep.

Yeah based on my experience of lots of people using Linux in companies, you're pretty lucky.

But obviously it can both be true that most people have no issues and it's really unreliable. Like, I would guess 20% of people in my company have serious issues with Linux - random crashes and not going to sleep in bags. That's really bad! But still 80% of people have no issues, which is why you always see confused comments like yours on forums saying they don't have any problems.

I think this strategy makes perfect sense and is really working.

Most of the open source community uses Linux or Mac for development. Windows is pretty much an afterthought. You even sometimes see "cross platform" projects that don't work on Windows.

But now that you can use WSL for all that development there's much less reason to use Linux in the first place. At my company we have a couple of hundred people using Linux, and we're considering all moving to Windows with WSL because the hardware support on Linux is just too unreliable - random crashes, laptops not going to sleep when you close them, poor thermals, bad memory management, etc.
