5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

• Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

• Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

• You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

• Your company policy requires it

• Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Linux at all.

Yea every network may do things differently… in my case tcp/443 openvpn is blocked at several places that I frequent.

I assume this is because, in addition to the missing ciphers as referenced in the linked article, OpenVPN, even though it uses TLS, it initially uses a very identifiable handshake before initiating TLS, which is not hard to block. I have personally had problems specifically with OpenVPN being targeted/blocked in this way.

Well… like Bill Clinton said, it depends on what the definition of “is” is.

I have the feeling that limiting yourself to Gemini would guarantee you basically only ever communicate with the weirdest of the weird.

Basically instead of launching completely new processes for each tab, which uses the (now updated/different) binary on disk, it uses a small secondary process that stays running the whole time the browser is open, and new processes are forked from that one, which makes them all use the same in-memory copy of the old process even after the program is updated.

This only works on *nix because you can’t overwrite binaries on Windows that are in use… but Linux keeps the old binary in memory the whole time, so it doesn’t care if you replace it, as it won’t be used until you restart the program.

So it doesn’t actually update anything at all while it’s running.

Will this stop the constant crashing I’ve been having the last several versions?

If I don’t know what your code is doing, and I can’t modify it, I don’t want it.

To be fair, 99% of the world population do not share this viewpoint.

I don’t understand how/why this got so popular out of nowhere… the same solution has already existed for years in the form of haproxy-protection and a couple others… but nobody seems to care about those.

That and if you go on the gnome forums, their attitude IMO seems openly hostile to… almost everything and everyone.

I said I will take it, not that I think everyone else should, or is capable of recognizing/ignoring conspiracy theories. I struggle much harder with ignoring bad attitudes than I do obvious bullshit, but to each their own.
