on this episode of “am i just tired, or is this post title hard to read?”

I can’t stand “smart” TVs. I’d choose a Raspberry Pi and huge monitor over one any day

Except maybe the Nvidia Shield; it’s genuinely pretty good. I have Retroarch installed on it, but I don’t use it much (no monitor for it lol).

“Hey, you can’t do that! Only we’re allowed to plant malware and spyware in people’s homes!”

I am glad they shut it down, though.

After reading through this whole comment thread, reading this was the last straw. I’ve been planning my exodus for a while.

Soon, I shall say “I use Artix, btw”.

A day may come when I upload my ID, and verify my identity online, but it is not this day.

Good thing I already crashed mine! /s

Thanks for the info! Also, thanks for reminding me the VMs exist, and I can test my migration lol

Oh, I definitely think it’s a good idea; I just want to be ready for any potential complications I might encounter.

Corporations (like IBM) have one goal: profit; they don’t just do benevolent acts of kindness. So why might they contribute to a ubiquitous collection of software that has low-level access and control on so many Linux systems?

Dang! I just got Mullvad, and I’ve been considering migrating to Artix, so that’s good to know.

Do you genuinely trust IBM?

Systemd kinda feels like an attempt at creating a back door for big tech and government agencies.
