This is the way

I thought major software devs used signed commits. I don’t have that much git experience and I have everything gpg signed even since the first repo I did.

This makes me question a lot of software.

o7 the real chad. I hope others maintain his legacy inside AMD.

You can use backports too!

I did that my self (fixed the chip), the cables and everything shiped with it are trash.

If you want to install this please DO NOT USE THE CH341A programmer. That fucking shit has the internal control signals and data signals at 5V and the bios chips usually work at 3.3V or lower.

The CH341A is defective by design and the Chinese manufacturers don’t care. There are fixes online, but still the chip works badly.

If you want to install libreboot, please use any other option given at Libreboot docs. I lost too many hours because of the fucking Chinese ch341a. Which I solved quickly with a pi pico board.

In any case do not use this guy’s video as an example. The instructions of the video ARE WRONG and you may fry your bios. Don’t be fooled by this youtuber confidence. Follow the docs.

I’ve installed it on a x220.

Pretty much sums up every thing

I get is more liberal which I understand why. But that means that changes to the software do not need to be shared. Which for normal users it really does not matter. But again we are giving to multi corporations so much in exchange of nothing. When again they don’t treat their users the same way.

MIT is a good licence as an idea. In reality, multi corporations are evil AF. The idea of free software in a sense is that free software can get so much better than privative one, eventually forcing privative companies to implement it them self on their programs.

If giving and taking was 1:1 in software community then again, MIT license is perfect. In reality it isn’t. For major programs that have a lot of implication on new programs I do not recommend MIT and similar. For feature like projects is totally okay IMO.

Yeah Musl is pretty good to learn C libs but the main red flag is the MIT Licence

glibc is great, but holy shit the source code is obscured into oblivion, so hard to understand, with hardcoded optimizations, and compiler optimizations. I understand how difficult is to find vulnerabilities. A bit sad that the only C lib truely free software is so hard to actually read its code or even contribute to it.

Imagine all the vulnerabilities that privative and low reviewed code has…

If you like ubuntu and you want to remove amazon and junk that ubuntu has you can go to debian. But in the future, just familarize yourself with everything first

I feel the same. My entry distro was ubuntu, and every time I updated major version the whole installation exploded and i had to reinstall it from scratch.

Luckly for me now i use Debian and updating major release is smooth af. Already went through 3 major updates and 0 problems.

Just swap to Debian, Valve. And snap is engineered to waste your time, imo.

Funny response ngl.

This plot is so stupid it’s like comparing oranges to chairs. If they wanted to compare Kernels then compare Linux with XNU and Windows NT.

Didn’t know XNU and Windows NT are hybrid kernels, interesting.

I’m done both with windows and people that develope software that’s only compatible with windows. Kind of c# shitters.
