The thing is this isn’t a single spectrum. The requirement the AGPL adds to the GPL could be applied to the LGPL without including the requirements added by the GPL.
To take the video game analogy, it’s more like asking why you can’t set the brightness above 50% if the graphics quality is set to ultra.
The answer here is that the FSF likely doesn’t see the utility in such a license.
They have been trying to work with the Flatpak people to make it a standard everyone could share. After half a decade of frustration I think they just gave up and decided to do it themselves.
I’m not the person you replied to, but I would love to have more ARM hardware for running tests on. A lot of what I write needs to be separately tested on each architecture.
The other LTS kernels didn’t get it until yesterday, and this thread has some good info about why: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
Yes, both.
The architecture is really varied. You can get super cheap SoCs that are barely capable of running FreeRTOS, and you can get 100+ core beasts with EFI, PCIe, etc.
I’m pretty sure Microsoft has more people working on Linux stuff than Canonical has total employees.
I thought X was the everything app?
Some Canonical employees are working on it but it’s not originally a Canonical project.
Hopefully their plan for software sovereignty includes using a European desktop environment.
Gotta find something else to grate your cheese.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while…
Right now Asahi increases the value of ARM based Macs slightly since there’s another market of people who will buy them.
Once Asahi means that people can keep end-of-life ARM based Macs running, the calculation for Apple will change.
Open source, mainline PowerVR drivers are a huge step forward for practical RISC-V machines.
Yeah, it’s pretty much that Fedora is to Red Hat as Ubuntu is to Canonical. RHEL vs. Ubuntu Pro work a bit differently though.
I was supposed to get a device with 64 gigs of RAM later this year. I just got an email telling me that due to the RAM shortage they’ve cancelled the 64 gig version.
A distribution with first class KDE support, obviously 😛
Just another reason not to use Mint.
You don’t use “soon” in geologic time?
If it were me personally I’d have a nice KDE gear there.
And, critically distinct from the AGPL, they wouldn’t have to open source their full service — just the changes to the library.
