There are two possible futures: one where those chosen for governance due to infinite free time are replaced by those with better ideas or one where I need to learn chinese

@RustyCrab Patiently waiting for some idiot in Gentoo core team to mask new versions.
@RustyCrab If that happens, I'm unironically switching to BSDs and buying a mac later.
@phnt @RustyCrab
I'm already two steps ahead of you and it's hard to recommend. I've spent a lot of time since the beginning of the year weighing my options for de-itoddlerization, actually.

@idiot @RustyCrab The mindset is that I won't mind how rotten the base when I can't change it anyway on Windows or macOS. Just like I can mostly tolerate Windows when it is LTSC and a few convenience programs like Powertoys and Autohotkey.
@phnt @RustyCrab That was my thought too when I first got mine. If GNU/Linux died tomorrow I could live with macshit, but there are a lot of nice creature comforts (accidental and on-purpose) that make it hard to move (for good.) Least of all being able to just $ wine somegame.exe, these days that has minimal hoop-jumping. Meanwhile Whiskey is dead, and Crossover is VERY expensive for what it actually is, and there's no way to tell what the next macOS mandating arm64 apps ONLY is going to actually shape up like until the thing comes out.
What comes to be shall be. Maybe consider a MBA or Neo with a desktop. It's hard to recommend blowing a few grand on a well-specced Macbook Pro.

@idiot @RustyCrab I'll see, I'm not anyway near needing a new laptop so that's probably years in the future. And I can handle BSDs fairly well, which are much more opposed to the reinvent the wheel culture every 5 years in Linux.

@idiot @RustyCrab What will probably happen sooner is me choosing between a pixel or an iphone. If Google really deploys developer verification and effectively kills f-droid, there's no reason for me to use Android anymore besides watching Youtube ad free.
@mischievoustomato @RustyCrab @phnt >Clone this repo then setup github actions to build it then do a bunch of rain dances to add more features if you really need them
Yeah, I agree, whoever came up with this shit IS a tweaker, no doubt.
