Distributions provide trusted open source software. That's opposite from Windows where basic system tools are not included, found in Web as shareware, could contain viruses.

I was uneasy about Ubuntu PPA, that's binaries from unknown source. I prefer AUR, it provides packaging instructions but source trusted by user.

Linux issues possible to investigate, search brings grounded instructions. Windows is closed source, "solutions" is guesswork.

Linux distributions build experiences, maybe there is already group of people like you, issues solved.

February 2014 Moscow invaded Ukraine, occupied Crimea, "referendum" under occupation month later.

12.04.2014 Moscow occupied Sloviansk, started war on east Ukraine, "referendum" under occupation month later. 17.07.2014 MH17 shot down by Moscow Buk.

February 2022 Moscow occupied Kherson, "referendum" under occupation half a year later, faked 87% "support".

Ukraine was neutral by constitution before Moscow invaded in 2014, majority of Ukrainians were against joining NATO, many favored economic ties with Moscow, many schools and universities performed education on Moscow language. Moscow violated Friendship Treaty (2004), Ukraine borders it recognized, Budapest memorandum (1994). How exactly occupation, annexation of friendly country is "complex subject"?

If someone says they sent you "Book Draft 1.docx" and you check your email to find "Ⓑⓞⓞⓚ Ⓓⓡⓐⓕⓣ ①.ⓓⓞⓒⓧ", "฿ØØ₭ ĐⱤ₳₣₮ 1.ĐØ₵Ӿ" - these are different files.

Windows 11 does not run on older harder, "not desktop ready". macOS supports much less hardware than Linux, "not desktop ready". Android is "not smartphone ready" because drivers are not pushed upstream by hardware vendors.

Hardware you own does not respect freedom to switch OS. Nothing stops NVIDIA or Realtek from supporting Linux like Intel and AMD do.

These are NVIDIA and Realtek issues. Linux works fine on supported hardware. Closing your eyes and saying "Linux is not ready" will not help.

I've experienced issues with GMA500, could be resolved by Intel, never were. I've pinned package versions, patched driver - that's development, should not be exposed in GUI. I've switched to supported hardware, no issues.

I am Linux user since 2006, Ubuntu then Arch.

Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, headphones, controller works. Intel iGPU works, including hardware accelerated video in browsers. VPN: Pritunl worked without issues, Perimiter 81 initially failed, works with update.

Wayland, Pipewire, Wine, Proton - Steam Deck is widely successful multimedia device. Priorities are same, NVK joined open source drivers.

Linux does not connect to "enterprise wifi or strange VPN" - ok.

Claims census 1897 is "fantasy map" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire_census

Roma, Romania, do you claim Italian is "Romanian dialect"? Muscovy was Rus colony, grew under Golden Horde, renamed in 1721. Rus Grand Prince Володимѣръ Свѧтославичъ — Ukrainian name Володимир (Volodymyr) not Moscow Владимир (Vladimir). Language of Kyiv can't be dialect of its former colonies language.

Slav languages are mutually intelligible. I've checked spoken Slovak, Polish, Croatian, Bulgarian. Do you claim these are "dialects" of Moscow language?

Eneida translated to Polish:

    Eneasz rzutkim był młodzianem,
    Podobnym całkiem do Kozaków,
    Radzącym z każdym złem spotkanym,
    Zawziętszym nawet od burłaków.

"50% of this text right off bat"

Eneida by Ivan Kotliarevsky [1] (1798) is first literary work published wholly in the modern Ukrainian language. Ivan Kotliarevsky lived in Poltava, East Ukraine [2].

Valuev Circular [3] (1863), Ems Ukaz [4] (1876) banned the use of the Ukrainian language in print. Religious books on Ukrainian were banned century before [5].

Census [6] (1897) maps Ukrainian language majority far beyond Ukraine current borders. Annexed by RSFSR, Russified by force. Continuum of ethnocide by Moscow.

February 2014 Moscow occupied Crimea, "referendum" a month later.

12.04.2014 Moscow occupied Slovyansk, "referendum" a month later.

February 2022 Moscow occupied Kherson, "referendum" half a year later.

Do you claim "people of Kherson was fed up, started civil war"?

In terms of vocabulary, the Ukrainian language is the closest to Belarusian (16% of difference), and the Russian language to Bulgarian (27% of difference).

After Belarusian, Ukrainian is also closer to Slovak, Polish, and Czech than to Russian – 38% of Ukrainian vocabulary is different from Russian.

Search video. For example, Kharkiv was targeted by cluster ammunition, that's norm. Moscow terrors to drive out disloyal population, to hinder economy, to distract defenses from the front.

"Poland forced Germany to attack" (1939) by Putin, Moscow propaganda supports genocide. Atrocities in Bucha, Izum is result. Relatives? They speak nothing or support "liberation" by occupants.

Laws on dictatorship passed 16.01.2014, copied from Belarus, Russian Federation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-protest_laws_in_Ukraine

Peaceful transfer of power is not possible in Belarus or Russian Federation. Ukrainians have no guns, democracy is not stable, judiciary and special forces are not independent, media influenced by state and oligarchs. Euromaidan saved Ukraine from Belarus fate.

Moscow invasion staged not in preceding weeks but in years. Putin revealed intentions in 2007, occupied Georgia in 2008.

Euromaidan was response to violent dispersal of protesters. Government escalated, eventually killed hundred of citizens. Do you claim Americans would do nothing if killed in hundreds? No persecution, approved by "unpopular politician", passed laws on dictatorship (16.01.2014).

Moscow invaded Ukraine (Crimea) 20.02.2014. Yanukovych fled 21.02.2014. Occupation does not just "happen", it was staged. Ukrainians felt that as betrayal, seen as occupants population cheared in support. That hurts, breaks cultural ties. In a few months Moscow invaded east of Ukraine while spreading lies. Lies obvious for Ukraine citizens, believed by occupants population.

Ukrainian shares 84% of vocabulary with Belarusian, 70% with Polish, 66% with Slovak.

English and German share 60% of vocabulary.

February 2014 Moscow occupied Crimea. 12.04.2014 Moscow occupied Slovyansk.

Name "few political directives" in 2014 before Moscow invasion. Ukraine actions are direct response to Moscow aggression. People don't want to be occupied by Moscow like Donetsk, Luhansk. Life is awful there, million fled from occupation. That's why changes were supported by majority of Ukrainians.

Still occupants language was learned in schools, media could use it though eventually quotas set to use Ukrainian too. And officials continued using it.

Ukraine policies fought discrimination of Ukrainian in Ukraine. Discrimination that stems from centuries of occupation by Moscow. In 2016 state stated at least 60% TV should be on Ukrainian. Only in 2017 education in schools was switched from occupants language to Ukrainian. Since 2019 Ukrainian should be used in services unless requested otherwise by customer. People switch to Ukrainian voluntarily, state provides means.

Ukraine is a democratic state, check out Euromaidan. Stop pretending like changes is anything but result of Moscow agression.

PinePhone has a lot software releases, postmarketOS has plenty of supported hardware.

"Dumbing down" is a necessity for extended demographics, that's trend from long ago.

Article explains reality, predicts proliferation of specialized hardware. For example was sound ever viable on CPU? GPUs were specialized, become more universal with compute, extended with video encoders, RTX, DLSS.

But x86 is PC, there are ARM notebooks, smartphone is just a computer with touchscreen and telephony.

almost no changes. Yes, a lot of people decline but that's not the only evidence. People quite often share in YouTube comments that everyone around supports war.

I've mentioned Afghanistan because 3000 Ukrainians died in this war. I am Russian speaking from Kharkiv, I know what is Russian chauvinism and imperialism from the inside. I could also mention Soviet-Finland war (1939), Holodomor (1933), occupation of Ukrainian National Republic (UNR), same line by Kremlin imperialists.

I have no data on Ukrainians opinion of Afghanistan war, but times were different, we've got Internet now, so many ways to discover truth. That's why I've mentioned Ichkeria (1994), I had no understanding what was there until RF occupied Ukrainian Donbas. Clearly that was occupation and genocide by RF but what's your opinion? Do you enjoy RF troops song:

    А мы береты на лоб надвинем
    И автоматы удобней сдвинем
    И с улыбкою веселой
    Мы будем жечь чужие села

Because that's their state, their responsibility. And it has happened before in USSR/Russian Empire, hunger is a key.

RF propaganda claims West is an enemy and most of the population is brainwashed. 70% of RF population supports "special operation". RF rectors supports war. RF military can't even defeat Ukraine, it specifically bombs civilians causing terror, thousands dead, millions displaced already. It is threatening to nuke. Extraordinary cases requires extraordinary solutions.

RF can't defeat Ukraine military so it bombs civilians specifically to cause terror, kills woman and children. Meanwhile RF populations consumes propaganda that they area fighting "nazis", whose who know real situation are oppressed, beaten, tortured.

Russians who understand what's going on generally supports sanctions and business exodus.

War has started in 2014, RF has occupied parts of the Ukraine, used special forces for proxy war in Ukrainan Donbass, 15,000 killed, 30,000 wounded, about 1,000,000 displaced.

RF specifically bombs civilians, kills womans and children.

70% of RF population supports war. That's data from liberals who'd like to see different results. You should know public oppinion of Ichkeria (1994) occupation, Georgia (2008) occupation, Afganistan (1979) occupation.

Sure they are brainwashed, but their soldiers kills innocent and population supports this "special operation". Just like in Nazis Germany.

I'd recommend Live USB, flash drives are big enough these days.

Follow your distribution. For example Arch Linux provides PKGBUILDs for official repos and AUR. Most of the time someone has already published PKGBUILD, but if not I just patch accordingly.

And conditions that formed separation are long gone, Arch Linux symlinks most of it:

    /bin -> /usr/bin
    /sbin -> /usr/bin
    /usr/sbin -> /usr/bin

    /lib -> /usr/lib
    /lib64 -> /usr/lib
    /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib

Then Shenzhen manufactures should open source device drivers.

I've heard winter protests breakdown in Saint Petersburg was much harsher because it's surveillance system is not as advanced as in Moscow.

There is nowhere to start. Are you employed by RF propaganda?

People freely speak Russian language, though Russian language popularity greatly tanked because people like you. It is eights year of war, so many facts that confirm RF has occupied Ukraine, destroyed cities, killed thousands.

I am Russian speaking Ukrainian, from Russian speaking city, born in Russian speaking family, mother from Russia, spent quite a lot of time in RF. And you are telling me these lies?

I've recently switched to Ukrainian because of your kind. Fascists.
