it’s only open source if the source code is open.

it’s unreasonable because if he does turn out to be innocent, then you ruined someone’s livelihood for no reason.

here’s the first one I found. to be extra clear given what the other comments have been assuming, I’m not saying this is the case here, only that it could be; and I’m not saying anything about women, I would react the same if the accusations were coming from men. in fact, I didn’t mention a specific gender in this thread until now.

it’s not a legal punishment but it is very much still a punishment in effect. whether you are in court or not you should still work of off “innocent until proven guilty” for the same reason the courts do. it’s wrong to punish someone until you know for sure that they did something wrong.

taking away someone’s sources of income are, and it’s wrong to do it without proof.

just like they had when amber heard straight up lied about Johnny Depp? I’m just saying that it’s too early to punish because there is no evidence yet.

it’s happened before. accusations are not proof on their own, and they are free to make. police reports are also free to make. I’m not saying he didn’t do it, but I’m saying there is no proof so it is too soon to take action aside from looking for proof.

there’s still no concrete proof though, which is my point. there may be a lot of similar accusations, but there have also been many instances of somebody being accused once and then a bunch of other people making their own false accusations trying to support the first one. I’m not trying to say he did or didn’t do it, what I am trying to say is it’s too soon to be cutting all ties because accusations are not proof on their own. false accusations are free and easy to make, and once you hear about the details of an accusation making a similar one is just as easy and still free.

irrelevant, it’s wrong to punish someone without proof.

people make false accusations all the time dumbass, for all we know this could be another amber heard situation.

they shouldn’t drop for allegations, nothing has been proven yet. as far as we know he never did anything and someone is falsely accusing. obviously once there’s proof they should stop working with him but if it’s just allegations then it’s too soon.

firstly, I clarified that I wasn’t saying it was bad. second, what other people say independent of me is irrelevant to what I said. third, I explained what the problem was that was making me say that about ubuntu in detail, cited the people saying there is a ‘wrong’ distro as a reason for doing that, and explicitly said (twice in this thread) that the only relevant things in how good a distro is are whether you like it and whether it works for you.

I never said it was the “wrong OS”, I’m just saying that it isn’t very good as opposed to other distros. I also went on to explain exactly why I say that and that the best distro is the one you like the most that works for your use case.

No problem, I try to explain that pretty well when people ask because it’s something that there’s a lot of misleading info about because of the tribalism.

It’s not ‘bad’ necessarily, but it makes a lot of controversial decisions such as it’s use of snap packages over flatpak. these decisions are harmful to the linux community as a whole and to the experience of using ubuntu, so it’s best to avoid supporting it.

for some context on the snap thing, basically different distros use different packaging formats (.deb, .rpm, etc.) which makes it hard to distribute software. also, each individual system is set up differently and has different packages which can make fixing bugs difficult, especially for developers who aren’t very familiar with linux. to solve this, flatpak is distro-agnostic (runs on any linux) and puts the app in the same environment on every system. it’s also sandboxed, which basically means each app is in it’s own little box and it can only see/interact with things it has permission to. snap does most of that as well, but unlike flatpak it is completely controlled by a single entity (canonical, company behind ubuntu) and it means that instead of one sandboxed thing for every distro we have two, which solves nothing. there are some other issues as well, but currently the issue of snap packages is the biggest one most people have with ubuntu.

for more information on all this, I would recommend The Linux Expirement on youtube. not by any means the only good linux channel, but my favorite. also, please ignore the tribalism. people will act like there is a best distro, there is not. people will act like a distro is useless because it doesn’t have some random tool that most don’t, it is not. if you like the distro and it works for you the it’s the best one because your use case is all that matters on your computer.

Ubuntu isnt very good, but a lot of people recommend it because it used to be good. use something else that has an Ubuntu base (for app availability). I would recommend tuxedo os for kde plasma and pop os for a gnome-like experience but a little better. a lot of people recommend mint but I wouldn’t, though the reason I wouldn’t doesn’t really matter to newer users. the most important thing to consider (assuming you’re choosing something with an Ubuntu base ther handles drivers normally) is what desktop environment you want. Ubuntu is a modified version of gnome. gnome is kind of like the computer equivalent of how phones work (in a good way). kde plasma is visually a lot like windows (pre 11)by default, but has enough customization that it can look however you want (mine is set up with a windows 10 style taskbar, tiling, and gnome-like handling of virtual desktops). pop shell (what pop os has) is a modified version of gnome that is kind of in between gnome and a conventional desktop, and they are working on something new called cosmic that is even better. remember you can always use a virtual machine to test without affecting your normal system.

edit: forgot to mention cinnamon (mint’s desktop). it looks pretty much just like windows 10 like kde, but it has less customization (on purpose). whether that matters or not is up to you.

they’re probably just mad that his Linux videos do a terrible job representing Linux.

Brandon Herrera on YouTube made a great video recreating the shots that killed him to test if it was legit.

TikTok’s algorithm was terrible, you find good videos just as fast on loops.

and TikTok forced so much uninteresting content and ads that you got to a good video just as fast, and features beyond the videos are irrelevant.
