Yeah 5 yrs for something that in no way harmed anyone, or took anything from anyone. Are these execs and studios losing money (I mean beyond the ways they set up to make them always lose money so no decent bonuses are paid).

Meanwhile some folks just getting by who wouldn't been able to afford (maybe maybe not) to go see it or buy it (again and again because we changed 1 frame and called it the director's cut, George), they get this crazy sentence.

If you're going to rip people off then you might as well go all the way as there doesn't seem to be any logic to sentences.

Guaranteed that someone in office got paid to make this happen, but that is stating the obvious because the majority of politicians are bought and paid for by business and somehow that is alright.

And I don't agree with shooting the studio execs. You can be way more effective shooting the ones bribing (aka lobbying) and the ones being lobbied (the many blood sucking parasites).

You always hear that violence isn't the answer, well look around because the people saying that don't seem to have an issue with it, they just don't want it to them, but no problem for them to do it to you.

The US is a great example of this, 2nd amendment blah blah blah, the ones who were the loudest have STFU because they only wanted those rights for them, and they now have them and the get to go cosplay CounterStrike for real, lie and conceal their identity (which should be so frigging illegal) and drag you off somewhere and you hope it's only to some private prison but there will be many that just end up disappeared.

What a time to be alive, your role (since we've gotten rid of Kings) is to be a serf to checks notes new Kings called Corporations, cause Bezos needs that fucking boat and wedding in Venice and fuck you you will do as told.

All the dystopian movies are being used as a play book and the citizens just seems to think it will end when the movie does.

They all have a purpose. The key is knowing and understanding their primary purposes. Fedora is like the beta of Red Hat. Red Hat is the old paid pro server version. The main sell of RHEL is the zero down time kernel updates, and lots of custom tools. Fedora is the distro to get the Linux Bible (book) and learn SysAdmin for an IT path.

Debian is where hardware support is built and has tons of custom tools to bootstrap new or undocumented hardware.

Ubuntu is built on Debian, but is primarily a smaller scale server option like RHEL. Their main objective is LTS kernels. LTS is usually poorly understood by many users. It means most packages included in the distro are outdated and frozen in time. There are updating exceptions for packages that never break backwards compatibility. The whole point here is that I can write a script in bash, Python or whatever high level language, and build a custom server that can be online and left unattended while getting security updates to remain online while the LTS remains supported.

Gentoo can build everything from source and can reconfigure or modify anything. It is like Arch Linux with tutorial information documented fully and a responsible package manager that does not do regular rsync hardening pop quizzes on the only distro you'll ever actually boot from backups regularly (Arch).

Nix is for deprecated dependency hell.

Kali or Parrot are for getting your own FBI agent.

Deepin is Chinese, but Tails is for Chinese abroad.

OpenWRT is for embedded Linux, mostly routers, but anything really.

Linux From Scratch is for base chad god bod and Hannah Montana Linux is for memes.

Debian is so old it doesn't work on very modern hardware.... So what your talking about?

Also Ubuntu is not a "server" option. They do have a server option yes. It is the most used desktop or at least was.

Also I used arch for ca 2 years not once needed to use a backup. Even though I abused the hell out of it.

Qubes is good. Not super daily driver friendly. Lots of tweaks needed. I use a laptop like a phone replacement. Banking, apps, messaging, all sorts of usual phone tasks. Also Qubes is too resource heavy on a laptop, it drains the batteries in a couple hours on basic usage. Takes 16 gigs if RAM to run and 32gb to breathe really. Plus 30 ish percent CPU idle roughly on a 12th gen Intel i7.

It's too heavy to daily, perfect for desktop, just not laptop all day material.

You have some decent hardening, just note x11 is turning legacy, wayland seems to be picking up for many reasons. I'm only slightly familiar with Debian as a whole. I'd look into firejail, app armour, firetools GUI for Firejail, flatseal, and good backup plans.

I discovered NIXos a few days ago and while it was a steep learning curve to set up! And I mean a learning curve and steep in all senses. It's quite possibly the smoothest, simplest distro I've ever used once you make it run. Instant rollbacks in grub. It boots in grub in order. Boot 23 works you tried tweaking boot 24 failed, you made it work boot 25. Got mad. Select boot 23 in grub and your back to square one. 10 seconds.

Due to the nature of it you can choose like any desktop type you'd like from xfce to cinnamon or names I never heard of even headless, and literally any of them gnome, KDE, you name it. I like simplicity. Low mental load. Immutable is a chef's kiss but configurable strikes my fancy.

I loathe getting scattered it symlinks, scripts, having files I forget about scattered all through my system, shit updates and breaks because I firejailed an app from 2 years ago. So much hassle. I like to boot and go. Keeping all if my configs in literally 2 nix files is fantastic, no more where did this go, or where did this write to. It will never change, update and break, it's like a master key that will forever work. Just don't lose your config and any hardware, any time, if you have your master file you can boot in like you was at your machine the time you left.

I still think about my first love, Linux mint so I installed cinnamon and now I feel I got the best of both worlds. I nearly gave up after a few days OK like 4 or 5 lol of attempting a custom install of NIX, full luks from boot to home, all my installed apps and configs, separated partitioning, containerized apps, I went all out. Idles at 1% CPU themed and applets, desklets, conky, etc. Created a couple copies of my NIX config file and I feel fairly safe. I built it all and tweaked then compiled it all finalized. Once you understand the concepts in their coding style, it'll click in your brain.

I went straight from Windows, to Mint for 2 years barely touching terminal. Now with a little internet research for commands. I can crawl through almost any issue. I've broken so much stuff. But atleast it wasn't a windows update borking/bricking my entire PC into a paperweight again. I chose to experiment. I've cussed myself so many times. But anything is better than going backwards.
