Is there actually any Linux distro that isn't governed by retards that want to keep breaking things?

Yeah, we will just drop this very popular package in a month, because we are autistic about dropping Qt5 and are removing packages using it.

Linux desktop is truly dead when there aren't any sane distros left for anyone outside basic web browser/libreoffice users. There simply is not any sane distro that doesn't break things at random or doesn't do weird rugpulls.

@mia I'm slowly getting mentally prepared to eventually jumpship away from Linux completely. The kernel isn't bad, but userspace is starting to become a serious dumpster fire with no signs of stopping.

I can easily see myself on FreeBSD or something 5 years from now.

@mia Meanwhile, distros are just seemingly self-destructing themselves.

@phnt idk I've seen fleabsd and decided it would be easier to run my own damn linux distro than to get that to work for me

@phnt @mia I'm not that far along, but I'm definitely at the stage where "start getting familiar with BSD" is much further up the priority queue than it was even 6 months ago
