It can read every bit of that partition.

You can’t blend in with a crowd of vanadium users with the amount of data points given away by the browser. Your fingerprint will be decernable from other users. Without actual anti-fingerprinting, which theoretical can allow for a crowd only when fingerprinting of user browsers results in the same fingerprint ID, the best you can hope to do is thwart naive fingerprinting. Vanadium doesn’t have any anti-fingerprint built in, so the slightest differences between user can be used to easily fingerprint. Vanadium

Anti-fingerprinting? By blocking javascript which the half-hearted privacy users can never afford? hahahahaha. Even privacy projects spread dirty javascripts.

BSD is so dead

No evidence.

Linux might won on quantity, but its quality is not comparable to BSDs.

A typical example is OpenBSD, to quote Michael W. Lucas:

Many open source operating system put a lot of effort into growing their user base, evangelizing, and bringing new people into the Unix fold. OpenBSD does not.

The communities surrounding other operating systems actively encourage new users and try to make newbies feel welcome. OpenBSD specifically and deliberately does not.

The developers know exactly who their target market is: themselves. If you can use their work, that’s great. If not, go away until you can.

They will not hold your hand. They will not develop new features to please users. OpenBSD exist to meet the needs of the developers, and while others are welcome to ride along, the needs of the passengers do not steer the project.

And it still live well?!@

You should have backups. Not hedge against 1 in 10 million error conditions.

if a partition isn’t actively written to, it’s less likely to suffer damage

The second one is a huge bother in desktops. I never not regretted trying it.

ok

The third one is a complete non-problem.

This is only a problem with OpenBSD. They never encourage using a huge single root partition, and never test it.

It have an asterisk, not a -

Users want compatibility and ease of use.

The distribution can choose not to include proprietary drivers. And not to “fix” it.

“Ignorance is strength”, isn’t the strength of “linux communities” is enough to take nvidia down?

?

But the only real enemy of that set is NVidia.

The only?

(Windows user that switch to linux and then say: we only need partition for / and /home are also enemies. Windows user that have switch to linux and use root for every task are enemies.)

correct

you would expect them to provide drivers for their hardware

I’d correct: we would expect them to provide at least documentation.

OP called users of the software stupid, not the software.

(in my opinion the software is stupid, and users of stupid software are stupid :) because desktop environment is inefficient compared to pure window manager, and keyboard-based wm)

Please,

Just use what you want.

Why we have to care much about software usage. This is the current issue of linux communities, which decrease user qualities.

Our enemy Microsoft and other “big tech” laugh people like these. They are using linux just like they use windows, even bring the bad, flawed windows culture to linux.

Don’t let the enemy to laugh at us.

Linux is already broken :)

it’s a Linux issue

Not a linux’s issue, though. When they don’t have documentation, they can decide not to write a driver, and not to use proprietary drivers too.

But nvidia doesn’t care about linux, doesn’t target linux. And current “linux communities” can’t do anything but whine.

Well, I’m not a Linux user and I say that as well. Nvidia does not just not care about Linux, they actively try to act against their open source driver implementation

Can you give more information on this?

+1

Telling people to just drop Nvidia is delusional

We can tell people that is going to buy a new computer to avoid nvidia :)

It’s Linux desktop contributers problem to fix.

We can’t write drivers for platforms that we don’t have documentation. linux desktop contributors dropping support for nvidia entirely is not a bad decision, though

Just let people use it.

In fact many “linux user” won’t tolerate others’ software :)

If nvidia is an evil, then why you suppose them to provide you free drivers.

Just drop nvidia.

advertising again.

Skimming your pdf it even talks about package building and delivery.

The talks shows the attitude of BSD communities to each others.

Which most linux communities doesn’t have yet.

I agree, but that’s what a linux user would say…

“linux user” should be put in double quotes :)
