I mean⊠Itâs true though. He explained he usually used newer hardware and he doesnât want ancient packages, but goes on to say itâs not as bad as it used to be because you can at least have up-to-date apps by using flatpaks.
Itâs a completely reasonable take. Not everybody wants packages/DEs on their system that are often *years* behind.
IIRC, Debian only just progressed beyond Gnome 3.38, Plasma 5.20, kernel 5.10, etc. that is old AF.
he mentions DaVinci Resolve as the big reason he canât rate/use Asahi

Youâre right, he did a pretty bad job at describing his use case - or, he didnât do that job at all - or, he forgot to cut it in but you could guess from all his other videos and what he speaks about is that of an âaverage gamer end user who wants to be up to dateâ
I usually donât read descriptions of videos.
I have also no idea whatâs wrong with his merch stuff. You know, tracking user behavior and placing ads is bad behavior.
You can place a huge banner of Porsche into the corner of your video if that pays the bills.

A guy trying to run a single-person business promoting and talking about Linux/FOSS puts merch in his description and thatâs something you find really objectionable?
I mean, I get it, in an ideal world it wouldnât be there, but the guy needs to eat. He needs a roof over his head. Etc. Iâm guessing you have a job that youâre also paid for, or if you donât, youâre provided for by people who do?
We donât live in a star trek world with free housing, and where all our basic needs are provided by replicators. He needs money or he will die.
Nobodyâs forcing you to click the links and buy shit.
E: I literally had to click âshow moreâ in the description to get to his merch, and he never even mentions it on the channel. Idk guy I think youâre being unreasonable. Itâs not pushed onto you at all.

Looking in Lemmy the advertisements are the very first thing I see, and all I see. Im not against a guy feeding himself, but you canât hold it against me if I donât click on something because I am bombarded with a literal wall of advertisements without anything else.

What youâre saying is that the author has made such a revolutionary video that solves problems no other video can solve, that in 30 years this video will be maintained by some of the most brilliant minds on Earth. In other words, the analogy is really, really bad.
They donât rank distributions. At least not by quality. Rather, they list the popular ones (by clicks) and provide resources for each one. Itâs notoriously difficult to get user statistics on FOSS, which usually costs nothing and is very privacy-focused.

The ranking is based on his use case. He does media production and uses tuxedo laptops. My guess is, he just took a different path and never got deeper into Suse.
Linking did not work but I know him, I look nearly all his videos on YouTube (đ«Ł)
I suspect that he didnât had time to run TW over longer time periods and thus donât know (or better said he had not time to verify) how stable this rolling distro is. And thus canât recommend it to everyone since rolling distro normally tend to unstableness if run by non-experience users. For me that bit of info was missing in the video

I hope the day will come that the DE is just a distrobox container or so and you can move back and forth as you wish. No SDDM or GDM and stuff is separated from the distro

threaded - newest
Fedora, then Debian and then the rest? đ
Debian was placed at average, he told âthe Desktop is outdatedâ I believe.
Thatâs hilarious. Lazy and hilarious!
I mean⊠Itâs true though. He explained he usually used newer hardware and he doesnât want ancient packages, but goes on to say itâs not as bad as it used to be because you can at least have up-to-date apps by using flatpaks.

IIRC, Debian only just progressed beyond Gnome 3.38, Plasma 5.20, kernel 5.10, etc. that is old AF.
You can add repositories though?
I was going to applaud you explicitly saying it was for your use case, then I noticed the description is a bunch of merch shilling.
And the title and description don't mention his use case anywhere.
Well, I mean, he has to buy food and stuff
Itâs never really clear from this video what exactly is his use case though.
he mentions DaVinci Resolve as the big reason he canât rate/use Asahi

⊠has the worst ranking
Howâs it worse or better than some no nameâs ranking? At least itâs not a 20-minutes video for something that could be a 10 items list.
You donât need a name to do anything.
Imagine thereâs a nobody and he writes a new kernel - and today he is linus.

I fear so as well⊠But he should, in my opinion đ OpenSuse TW is awesome

A list, in video form đ€Šââïž
Up next, a reaction video
Void Linux is S tier
Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? Iâm not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.
My one regret in life is that I joined a lemmy instance that doesnât do downvotes.
I knew my comments were crap but wow⊠:)
Sorry, I was agreeing with you on the video list thing! đ€Ł
Does that mean you canât downvote comments outside of Beehaw too?
The video is him reading the list really slowly, and the opinions are not much imo
This link is dead
