ruination

I found that, at the cost of a few months of absolute suffering, using Gentoo as my first distro fasttracked my Linux learning.

What's that notification thingy on the bottom image?

Better yet, if they make it a literate configration with Org mode.

Isn't Russia being criticised for similar authoritarian practices despite them being white (at least the people in power, anyways)?

Okay, fair point, the argument I made wasn't exactly a good one. I do still think that hating authoritarianism isn't exactly xenophobia.

I mean as someone of Chinese descent who is repulsed by the Chinese government's actions despite them looking like me, I think my existence alone disproves your argument. I don't doubt that there are some people who do think like that, but I do doubt that they make up anywhere near a majority.

The government, not the people, but yeah I agree

I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you're the victim.

private companies can't be trusted

and water is wet.

I find ZFS rollbacks to be easier but setting up ZFS can be a pain (other than in Gentoo and NixOS from my experience), so take your pick

It is the lesser of two evils imo. Not saying that AMD is any good, their alternatives are just that bad.

AMD still has better Linux support for now, which is about 90% of the reason I went with them for now.
