I can see where they’d spend less maintaining rhythmbox and totem as they don’t really help with office productivity. So many keyboards and mice are Bluetooth these days it kinda seems weird to stop working on the tools you’re customers actually need.
I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.
This is one of those situations where the solution is so obvious I kind of hate that I didn’t get it beforehand. We have open standards for everything so it makes sense to build an open standard for “Linux in Business”.
I’ve had nothing but problems with Ubuntu. There’s always some random crash that I don’t know what it is but I get a pop up. Sometimes you think you’re installing from apt but it secretly is running snap commands.
The OS should never hide things from me. I’m the user and I’m root.
If I wanted an operating system to be sneaky and do things behind my back I’ll go to Windows.
I know they have unencrypted versions from my phone because my tablet and desktop version of messages seamlessly connects to the chat. So it’s probably be E2E in transit alone.
I’m keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I’m just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals?

Better off using native Linux applications. We have DaVinci Resolve, Lightworks, Blender, and Kdenlive. All are fantastic video editors that can give you very professional results.
Personally I use Kdenlive:
Doesn’t require GPU
Automatic subtitles
Support for LUTs
Nested timelines
Proxy/Offline editing
Warp stabilizer
Free and Open Source
It’s probably the most feature complete FOSS editor.
Please understand that I haven’t tried or installed Arch Linux yet. From what I understand by reading and watching related videos, Arch is often breaks and a lot of time is required to fix issues.

I typically buy last generation refurbished. I was able to get the Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra for sub $800. The last generation Fold is still over $1000. I need the cool-factor to calm down so the old ones are cheaper.
I’ve been running Linux for 20 years. Not once have I been in a situation that required an antivirus. The one time I’ve had a security breach it was not a virus but user error that left a door open. And even then, it was just ransomware, not a virus.

It’s about familiarity. I didn’t know how to install drivers on Windows. I searched and didn’t see anything in the settings about firmware updates. I was stumped.

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable.

It was completely different than the comics but it was still very fun. Especially in 1995.

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history.

I think you’ll find a lot more leftists interested in platforms that are not powered solely by money and profit. Lemmy, much like Mastodon and other federated platforms, only need instances to run to be usable. It doesn’t require millions of dollars to keep it afloat.
Generally speaking centrist and right wingers, especially in Western countries, tend to be very capitalist. They only understand the value in terms of money.
Meta only had 12 years to implement this. They simply could not be bothered. Even with free libraries and documentation of how to implement this web standard.

I’m just a casual gamer but I use Debian stable and I’ve had very few problems. I think a lot of people believe that Debian stable is too old to be usable but steam works flawlessly. At least in my experience.
My father used to repair gas pumps for a living. I went out with him on a few jobs. You’d be amazed how many large facilities that have their own fleet of cars end up setting up their own gas station. Universities, large hospitals, movie sets, and of course emergency vehicles.
