    that’s really unfortunate. not only is it a great project that might die out, but the personal situation seems like a pretty shitty spot to be in. hopefully all gets resolved with minimal damages.

    Honestly? I’m surprised it held out as long as it did. When you have to jump through hoops just to get commonplace applications like GIMP or Firefox installed, then your distro has a problem.

      They wanted to create their own walled garden and in the end it made their distro kinda unusable. Very nice UI/UX but nothing else because the whole experience was so limited.

    Sorry to hear about Elementary OS. Failing small Linux distro companies is not uncommon though. Also I’m not a fan of Lunduke, so there may be other sites where you can read about what’s going on with Elementary without adding clicks to his content.

    Man, Lunduke can create some good content every once in a while, but fuck that guy.

    He can’t even proceed to tell news without disrespecting Danielle’s transition and consistently calls her by her old name.

        Just for a bit of context, this guy is mainly famous in the Linux community for his “Linux Sucks” series he used to do annually, with a light-hearted but pinpoint approach to tackling the main problems with the Linux desktop in general. That is, until the pandemic hit. Then he just unleashed his inner fascist that was probably always there.

        Then his content became mostly complaining about “woke culture” mainly in Mozilla and the GNOME team, “cancel culture” after the whole schtick with RMS and his behaviour and probably his worst take yet to this day, reducing Linus Torvalds himself to a “vaccine passport company employee” when he yelled GTFO to another guy spreading misinformation about vaccines in the Linux kernel mailing list.

        tl;dr the guy got famous for good content and then became publicly the complete ass he probably always was

          Lol. Now its fascist to be against woke culture and more in line with traditional values

            Yes it absolutely is, because “woke culture” is nothing but a strawman to justify LGBTQIA±phobia and racism. Let’s not forget that “traditional values” are forged in a lot of those things.

              Aggressively forcing LGBTQLMNOPBOLOGNA values on people and demonizing them for disagreeing is more ‘fascist’ in my opinion that disagreeing in the first place. It IS possible to hate an ideology without hating the people behind it.

              Many believe as I, that these values are harmful to individuals, familys, and the nation as a whole. Aggressive woke culture wants to promote ideological change (its own) while demonizing every other view point as ‘rascist’ ‘fascist’ and other name calling that suggests the other side hates everything that isn’t part of its own sphere.

              It’s shallow, narrow minded, and believe’s itself enlightened. What it more often is, is aggressive dillusion.

                Would you mind expanding on what you mean by forcing Lgbtq+ values on people? My take is that lgbt people like to not be dehumanized. Thats not too controversial
