Don’t you just love how with phones you don’t really have one?

Google is breaking their backs locking down Android tighter than a nun’s cooch, and generally enshitifyijg every garbage product they offer. Where’s my third fucking option?

Probably try a raspberry pi one. Custom built and with a custom OS. Not sure if there is a version of Lineage or Graphene that works on it, but that’s an option.

Same way you install the OS without internet, put it on a thumb drive.

Well sure, but if i have to figure out what to get, where to get it, how to install a driver from a tar.gz file, maybe i just install ubuntu instead.
I opted for fedora instead, until it died on an nvidia update (as every distro inevitably seems to do with me) and fucked off back to windows. Linux desktop has not treated me well so far in any case.

No need, if Ubuntu works out of the box then Debian also works most of the time. I’ve never had to install drivers for ethernet or wifi. The installer is a bit less graphical, but it will connect in a few “clicks”, even wifi works for the installer.

My guess is: Too outdated packages. Debian experimental fixes this, but it’s not noob friendly to enable those. And flatpack is too recent.

This was the one for me, was running Debian a few years ago, I was really happy with how everything worked.

But at work I noticed a lot of tools I needed where pretty old. Like an old version of maven or an old version of Firefox or npm.

You can probably work around it, but I just went back to Mint again.

Why does anybody use ubuntu etc when they could use debian?

Debian is good, but people working on polishing a thing from 9 to 5, 5 days a week can do a lot.

ubuntu has firewall protection already to go. I heard if you used debian you have to install UFW or other things on your own

For what you need a firewall on a desktop-client?

For everything? You still shouldnt be running all ports open around. As it would ease the work of hackers getting backdoor access.

I’m pretty sure they need real time systems on a spaceshuttle

I think the real time requirement can be relaxed for self contained experiment packages. And given that the shuttle ran a healthy number of student experiments, it’s pretty likely that X system has appeared.

I believe crew laptops for email and stuff are also running non real-time systems.

For the main systems, sure. But non critical systems can pretty much run nearly anything.
