See, this was my thought as well. Canonical seems to be going the way of RedHat, and I understand that they need to turn a profit, but my understanding is also that most of their money comes from server support. Not really sure how much they can squeeze out of Desktop users, but I guess that's what snaps are for...

See, this is why I was curious if they would just set their own release schedules and run based off of Debian-testing. But I guess that would be a lot more work, and they'd effectively be duplicating Canonical's effort, in a sense.
This is an interesting perspective! So then by that logic, is there a possibility that Canonical will try and pressure System76 to officially switch to snaps over flatpaks?
So I kind of get this, but from what I can understand it's more tedious from a DevOps perspective to switch package management systems than to just switch to repositories that target older software versions. Hence why I'm curious as to whether simply basing off of Debian-testing like Ubuntu does is the most likely outcome.
As for NVIDIA support, I was playing around with the latest Debian release and almost immediately noticed that the NVIDIA proprietary packages were available by default. In other words, Debian seems to be just as inclined to support an NVIDIA setup as Ubuntu does out of the box now.
Most underrated rom-com of its generation, I tell ya!

Wait where is this from?? I demand sauce!
Same for me, I ripped all mine a while back and put them on a Jellyfin server in FLAC or WAV format. I actually found a good source for high quality files, which are at minimum 16-bit CD quality, and many are even higher quality at 24-bit depth sampling 41kHz rate.
This would honestly be pretty nice as there aren't that many modern routers that support FOSS firmware options. It would be pretty amazing to have a System76 desktop setup with a monitorand keyboard, and a router to boot!
I see, thank you kind stranger! Much appreciated. Admittedly would not have expected Windex. Reminds me of how the father used it to treat a zit in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
...shoot, you're right it is gross...have any tips on good cleaning routines, chemicals or tools? I'm worried about typical household cleaners ruining my nice keyboard.
This is exactly correct, and herein lies the problem: how do you monetize content creation from people you don't pay?
Louis Rossman said it best: when you look at a lot of content platforms, you realize their business models don't make sense. The people managing these companies are riding on VC money knowing full well there isn't any long-term return. They want to cash out and dip.
This is why I feel like a Federated, user-maintained system is probably best for the long term sustainability of a community. People want a place to enjoy something or someone? Let's make it happen, by our own means
Oh, absolutely. Regardless of the underlying distro, COSMIC is set to be an epic DE experience.
