Pop_OS put in a patch that required you to create a file /etc/apt/break-my-system and Debian added a flag instead.
My point was if someone is going to blindly follow an instruction to type that, they’re just as likely to blindly follow an instruction to touch /etc/apt/break-my-system or an instruction to add --allow-remove-essential
The Gnome software GUI, what the average user would use, didn’t allow it.
KDE realized Discover would have allowed it (after a warning), so that was fixed
The GUI wouldn’t let him break it, so he tried the command line.
The command line required him to type, with punctuation “Yes, do as I say!” after a big warning.
If an average user will do that, the “fix” of needing to create a file before being able to type “Yes, do as I say!” isn’t going to change anything
Postal codes are also 10 characters long in the USA, but this only allows 8 entries…?
Collabora is actively working on upstreaming the Radaxa Rock 5B
The TRMs are at least available online
meta-rockchip, Linux kernel, and u-boot have upstreamed support for (most) interfaces - check upstream status here: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md
ARM itself has uploaded the firmware for the GPU to linux-firmware
There’s work on the NPU going pretty well
I’ve seen some work on an open TEE, but I don’t need that for my project, so I haven’t looked much into it
Rockchip themselves are… Questionably open
For the software side, I’ve found them decent. I do have to run latest and greatest Linux kernel and u-boot on our projects
The hardware team wasn’t so happy for your fab level, but we managed to get some designs working based off SoMs from Firefly
*backed off on 7 ?
I think you’re also overlooking that the driver model changed for Vista, so tons of hardware listed as supporting Vista was just extremely unstable at release until hardware vendors figured out the new driver model
They are extremely effective at preventing PackageKit updates on my steam deck
Project Gutenberg has a large collection of public domain books
The official USBs of Trixie fit all 28 DVDs of AMD64 on a 256GiB USB stick

You’d probably want the 512GiB with all the sources for a real backup in this scenario
If you don’t care about edit history, and only care about English, there are zim files w/ images for <150 GiB
They’ve been working towards killing it for 10+ years.
It does seem like we’re nearing the completion of their goals
You’ve always been able to navigate to about:profiles as well
We’ll just set up another retrospective meeting and have a lessons learned.
Then we won’t change anything based off the findings of the retro and lessons learned.
service() { systemctl $2 $1 }
Using an alternative means you’d only reach people who already know the problems with big tech.
You need to reach people where they are to have any chance at giving them new information
Is it?
refresh makes it more clear than update that you’re not updating the computer’s packages, just the database of packages
DPKG based distros also need dist-upgrade or full-upgrade, rather than just upgrade, when you are switching versions where removals might be needed
There was a college that tried to “test” open source projects by submitting malicious patches…
They’re now banned from ever submitting to the LKML
Actually, you have to kill your children before yourself.
They become zombie processes if you kill yourself while they’re still alive.

Fedora has a Gnome Shell extension that adds Fedora over the wallpaper.
Shouldn’t be hard to make your dreams a reality
