  • Endeavour OS

    From CrudeSausage@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 28 12:38:24 2025
    Just replaced Linux Mint with Endeavour OS on my work laptop. It runs on Wayland by default, it has support for Broadcom wireless chips from the
    live environment, it supports the Thrustmaster controller without
    modification, and it supports suspend and hibernation reliably. The best
    part is that according to DFS's compiled list, it is not a woke
    distribution.

    It's hard to keep up with your changes, but choice is good.

    I'm very principled when it comes to progressives. If there is reason to believe that they have any influence whatsoever over the technology I
    use, I am glad to be rid of it. I've used Apple and Microsoft's stuff
    and accepted this for way too long not to migrate whenever these clowns
    reveal themselves.

    You take wokeness advice from somebody who reads the Guardian?!???

    It doesn't matter what he reads. He checked whether Endeavour had a code
    of conduct and a diversity statement. To both, the answer was no. That generally indicates that a distribution is intent on focusing on the
    work, not the identity of the contributors.

    Oh but it did, in this case. He was so desperate to find some article that
    had something complimentary to say about Microsoft’s products, that he blundered into a left-leaning site.

    What’s the term for someone who says one thing, but does another?

    Well, the information still served a purpose. I was able to pinpoint
    Endeavour as a distribution with no allegiance to the Church of Woke
    which allowed me to use KDE and Wayland. Regardless of DFS himself, his information proved to be invaluable to me.

    Apologies for running him off COLA, but going by a non-woke list
    sounds lame. I know Mint to be a decent way to use Linux, though.

    I was hoping that DumFSck had dropped dead. What makes you say you
    ran him off?

    DFS probably just got fed up of this place. It happens so routinely that
    I doubt anyone can really take credit for "running him off." Otherwise,
    I could be credited for running off Peter Köhlmann. The more likely
    scenario is that he simply decided to spend more time with his family or
    that he died.

    DumFSck was a rotten, lying bastard from day one, in here. That was
    about twenty years ago.

    That goes for the hetero male assholes who feel it necessary to brag about

    I'm only trying to use my public persona to promote trans rights, it's
    not that I'm expecting other posters to be interested.

    Your choice, but I believe it's counterproductive.

    Graphic descriptions of sex acts, we can live without.
