The majority of linux devs are not working on reverse engineering device drivers here
Fucking strawman
allying behind a single distro won’t fix this unless the distro is made by a huge company willing to pay people to reverse engineers various drivers
False dichotomy.
it takes too many manpower we don’t actually have.
#THAT’S WHY POOLING ALL AVAILABLE MANPOWER UNDER A SINGLE DISTRO IS A WIN
off course people are celebrating now.
Considering how long it has been around, and how many tens if not hundreds of thousands of people working on it, 5% is fucking terrible.
I mean, sure, celebrate, but it isn’t even close to being the achievement to warrant it.
You bring nothing to this discussion but informal fallacies and spurious arguments, just like every other linuxbro I’ve had the displeasure to deal with.

#That’s if you have it in the same folder. You can make that script more clever. It strips off DRM stuff like printing, copying, editing permissions that are respected by most programs. Probably kills your DRM too.
Izzy thinks about posting that "post this so your friends/followers can say nice things about you" image to his page. It could be good for him, he thinks. Except. Except what if no one replies? What if all he gets are laugh reacts? What if the "nice" things ppl say are backhanded compliments? No. Better not. Not worth the risk. @IzzyCanyon#IzzyIsNotMe#DefinitelyNot#WhyWouldYouThink#that#IzzyIsMe?
