Why libreoffice instead of OnlyOffice or NextCloud?

If you don’t add the power I have no context that you’re talking about power rangers

That doesn't feel like the case for RHEL anymore. See my post here: https://lemmy.ca/post/47329016/17562982

You took a joking jab at red hat and suse a bit too seriously. But let me address at least the red hat portion of it.

IBM changed took away the Debian equivalent of RedHat: CentOS. They now have CentOS stream which is not what CentOS was -- the free and open RHEL byte for byte compatible operating system. Arguably at the time, yes, I would agree with you -- they were just selling enterprise services. But that's not what it is anymore. They took away the stability of CentOS and had everyone migrate to RHEL or away. There were talks at the time that they were violating the linux license at the time. However, it was argued that they weren't. Because they provide the source code for enterprise license customers, they did not violate the license. HOWEVER, they were cancelling enterprise licenses of people who were taking the source code to make RockyLinux and all the the other distros that came up to replace what CentOS was.

While yes, you have the freedom to do with the source code as you'd like when you have access to it, IBM is violating the spirit of what that means by throwing access to it behind an enterprise license.

I would be very interested in what you think about LMMS. It reminded me somewhat of FL Studio, but like I said I wasn’t really good at it so there may be features you’re lacking.

I have to say, the audio situation used to be a bit of a mess but it has gotten somewhat better.

Does LMMS still exist? There were a few other tools I used back in the day (wasn’t good at it so don’t ask for tips!)

Is it even Linux if you’re not running four terminal emulators via tmux in single user mode on a 1280x960 screen?

This depends entirely on your prescribed system of ethics.

Duty-based ethical systems would say yes, because you have a duty to speak out.

Point utilitarianism would say no, because the good outweighs the bad for that scenario.

The other utilitarianism of which I can’t remember the umbrella term would say yes, because it’s better for everyone if people speak out.

My understanding of Kant is that the unethical act is being performed by the government and that it is not morally wrong to keep a low profile.

TLDR: If you’re asking, the answer is no. If you’re being pedantic, the answer is “it depends”

You can also just gentoo and compile from source instead of remembering which distro uses which package lol

Docker: it’s a container used as a sort of sandbox environment for running various tools

Federated: uses the activitypub protocol

Self host: Don’t use services in the cloud. Build your own

Fork: Derived from existing project (or process)

Container: Sandboxed part of your OS

Instance: There are multiple definitions but the one probably most relevant to you is a node of a federated network

Flatpak: No idea. I think this is Ubuntu’s containerized deliverable

Tailscale: I think this is a reverse proxy?

Distro: A flavor of Linux

Wayland: Succesor to X11. Gives you graphics on Linux

Nginx: Web server software. Alternative to Apache
