I'm interested in Pebble as a new open source smart watch platform. However:

- The newly announced watches are... ugly. No way around it. I want something that looks like a watch.
- I won't buy any piece of hardware unless there are real world user reviews for it.

Still, I'm excited to see watches enter the #FOSS space.

What would be the ideal Linux distro for an absolute newbie?

1) Fairly current
2) Stable
3) Must include 1 and 2.
4) Must work with older hardware.
5) Must work with new-ish hardware.
6) Must include non-free drivers
7) Must include non-free firmware
8) Must include non-free media codecs.
9) Fairly solid road map for the future
10) Point and click updates (similar to Microsoft Update)
11) KDE (helps with point and click, configuration)
12) Double-click installs (rpm packages, for example)
13) Graphical interface for Flatpak
14) Newbie friendly support.
15) Not immutable (it is OK, if they have this as an option, so long as they also have the option not to be).

Most newbies, really, are just looking for a drop replacement to Windows or Apple. They understand they may need to use alternative software, similar to switch between Android and Apple iOS. But they're still seeking that simplicity and ease of use.

Any suggestions for an open-source, selfhosted CRM system to be used by a growing business?

I'm seeing SuiteCRM as sort of the go-to, but is it "the one"? I like its modular design.

Linux gaming, has been gaining ground, and I can bet money, within the next 6 months (1 year on the outside), something is going to fuck it all up. Wait and see.

I truly am beginning to believe, there is an active movement within the Linux ecosystem to keep Linux suppressed. Every time things start to pick up, something within knocks it back down, or hold it off a little longer, so whatever nonsense Microsoft or Apple is doing, can either correct themselves, or allow people to get used to that nonsense.

I really hope Steam comes out with a desktop OS. I know that is unlikely, because their goal is to focus on their stream decks (devices).

But damn, we need a dump pipe Linux distro. Because right now, there is no truly friendly Linux distro.

On that note, what I HATE about Linux, is whenever Linux has the opportunity to claim market share, those within the Linux ecosystem drop the fucking ball. That is what I hate about Linux.

When Microsoft drops the balls, instead of Linux picking it up, they too decided to lower their bar.

... I've pointed out in an older thread 🧵 here and Cory @pluralistic in a now famous speech about #Enshittification, there's the severe lock-in effect, the negative aspects of the #NetworkEffect.

There are #XMPP and #Matrix, the "ancient" and "obvious" #FOSS choices. I've never used them but from what I've read, they were never able to gain much market share and are...
