@9x0rg@mamot.fr Thank you for this great news! I have always thought that about OpenOffice and company, yet never had it as my pc's have always been pre-installed with windows... Now it seems that I am too lazy to learn, but will get help from a friend 😁

@9x0rg@mamot.fr Hmm, this is an interesting article, however, the part about smartphone really conflates the Linux kernel with Linux distros (that ship a GNU based user land, mostly compatible with the UNIX spec, and the free-software stack we all know). Android is starting to turn into a massively lock downed ecosystem. This doesn't tell us : "What is a linux victory" and "why is it good". The linux kernel itself is GPLv2, and embedded devices often are tivoized in that regard.

@9x0rg@mamot.fr Android is not Linux. Not in any way that matters.

@9x0rg@mamot.fr is it a win when Ubuntu shoves the snap ecosystem down my throat? Is it beating Windows or becoming Windows?

@9x0rg@mamot.fr Is this a good thing, not from my pov. When corporate hawks spot an up and comer it means commercialization. They'll create a linux based gui desktop but make the bells and whistles proprietary to lock in users. Then turn around and use their lawyers to restrict opensource gui from competition. Look what they did to the internet.

@9x0rg@mamot.fr From 1st January 2027 age verification on all linux (a few not) on systemd Means from there they can pass laws to get 3rd parties to biometric and ID verification as location and this effects the whole world even EU or not IBM is in USA. So better start make your own OS based on Linux ; )
