Or saving on hosting is what caused the outage.

No, the posters and commenters made the community. Mods are volunteer workers, not owners.

I am an IT systems administrator.
Doesn't sound all that political.
Except I work at a newspaper. That's where it becomes complicated.
Newspapers have the right to keep their sources hidden to protect them from the government.
How does that work when you're using M365 and the government has access to all data stored in the Microsoft cloud?
Or Microsoft could, according to the terms of service we accepted, simply stop servicing us if some of that data is questionable?
Which countries do we blacklist?
How do we protect ourselves against targeted cyber-attacks from Russia?

It's one of the most interesting IT jobs I ever had.

Also a climate so scorching hot we won't ever see anything like it again before 2030.

Even if all end users boycott Amazon, they'll still make billions from AWS.

Who's going to arrest him?
And what do you think the MAGA cult will do, then?

Do you run Steam from Debian repos or Flatpak?

Or French farmers shoot them on sight.

Arch is the most "just works" distro I ever tried.
Reducing the workload of the distro maintainers by keeping packages vanilla and close to upstream, not writing a shitload of distro-specific GUI tools, and off-loading all the weird stuff to a user repo, is genius.
That way, there's more capacity to focus on getting it right.

Other distros have a lot more "features" (looking at you, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu) but Arch just gives you a high quality package of the newest stuff, and it's amazing how solid it is nowadays.

This is mainly data reported from desktop PCs, so no, SteamOS is not a thing at the moment on such machines.

 

Both don't ship with their own Wayland compositor, but there are enough to choose from.

Xfce comes with a wayland session using labwc out of the box, but was also tested with Wayfire. The devs state you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for the native window manager xfwm to be ported into a Wayland compositor, since they don't know if/when it will be done. Almost all other Xfce components support Wayland now, while retaining X11 compatibility.

LXQt's newest stable release has full Wayland support, with 7 different Wayland compositors to choose from within a GUI settings menu: Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, Sway, River and Niri
