Can we please, in the year of the lord and savior, stop linking to flatkill for once? They have been debunked at least 5 different times at this point, so let me link to a couple of them: https://orowith2os.gitlab.io/posts/Flatpak-an-insecurity-nightmare/

Some of your points aren't bad, just not up to date to what most of the ecosystem has been doing for a while now.

Nope, I'm not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share

  • Reason n.1: a stabler distro that doesn't lose when it comes to being up to date, as the equivalent to arch is rawhide
  • Reason n.2: a better, less toxic community
  • Reason n.3: Fedora is community-based, it is sponsored by RH but it does not dictate what the project does
  • Reason n.4: fedora docs is really good (and getting better), the only documentation locked behind a login is RH's, fedora's always been open to read and to contribute

I could keep going.

It's the ideal solution morally-wise, but it still samples out a ton of users precisely because people are used to the idea of telemetry = bad

Read what I said again. It is not automatically bad, and it doesn't mean it can't be poorly used or poorly understood by the ones collecting it. It just means that it is an effective way to understand how your users are using your product.

Putting Mozilla (which from what I can tell is doing as much as they can trying to collect this telemetry data in a way that can't be used to identify its users) in the same domain as Microsoft, which collects pretty much everything it can to sell to third party advertisers is ridiculous as best and disingenuous at worst.

People really need to kill that notion that telemetry is automatically bad. If the information they are collecting is minimal, as non-identifiable as possible and actually being used to help develop the browser, it's a good thing.

Yes, turbo nerds in the back, specially being opt-out, opt-in telemetry is pretty much useless for trying to understand the majority of your user base.

They've basically been the biggest partner with Microsoft to try and launch an ARM ecosystem for Windows. The oldest ARM laptops were made by them AFAIK

I personally see as benefiting us Linux users by forcing the rare website that "doesn't work with your operating system" to work if they want to reach that sweet over-a-billion-user Android market. Win-win for pretty much everyone.

with the recent development in NVK and Nouveau (and futurely Nova), you probably will relatively soon

as a 1050Ti owner (which still is more than enough for my usage), same

all the necessary things are already here on the linux side AFAIK the only thing left is a stable release of their drivers with support for it, which should come relatively soon
