minor nitpick – maybe aligning on decimal rather than right-aligned values? (Zswap, Zswapped, Writeback Tmp in screenshot)

Swap Total ->     19.16 GiB
Swap Free ->      18.83 GiB
Zswap ->           0.00 B
Zswapped ->        0.00 B
Swap Cached ->   532.00 KiB
Kernel Stack ->   19.95 MiB
Per CPU ->         null

EDIT: threw in null example from Reddit post

“And I’ve had very little need for any kind of customization as the people behind my distro have pretty much seen to everything”

I think that’s one of the key points (and Nick kinda quickly passed over it) – the Linux desktop environments have constantly iterated over options and changes that customization at this point is more a matter of showing off rather than being a necessity to make things workable or usable

Vanilla OS is the Ubuntu derivative, Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be the Debian derivative

GitHub has managed to conflate “git” and “GitHub” in a lot of people’s minds (including people who should know better) – git may be decentralized, but to people who think git is GitHub, it’s meaningless

mind share – GitHub is the Coca-Cola of git, Codeberg and SourceHut are the RC Colas – people are already on GitHub, their projects are already on GitHub, their workflows are already on GitHub, their friends are already on GitHub, their co-workers are already on GitHub, and on and on …

it’s the same issue with Facebook – everyone knows Facebook is shit, but leaving Facebook means convincing your friends and family to leave Facebook, and convincing their friends and family to leave Facebook … outside of a global event like a pandemic, a nigh impossible task …

“I’m not mad, I’m just … disappointed.”

• just bought Anonym, a full on advertising company
• blocking anti-censorship addons at Russia’s request
• buying into the AI hype
