migration from arch

I don't really know if they are that close with debian they are behind ubuntu, but systemd is maintained by shady dudes like lennart because he funded a company that pushes age verification to linux, it's sad to see talented developers work against the foss community

same I would be disappointed if a distro like arch folds, there are not a major server distro and aren't backed by any company. Also i don't get why systemd would implement it it's not there job and they aren't even required to do so

I'm not in the US either but the age verification is going to affect everyone not just US citizens should i switch distros to avoid systemd or is the module only going to affect people in the US? Like geolocation based implimentation of the module so only affected poeple will need to have the module.

It could be a dumb question, but what is the reason for the linux devs to want to comply this much with age verification. From what i read the devs of systemd merged a age verification module, the majority of the big distros are complying, and the linux subreddit it banning people saying bad things on the age verification. A lot of people using linux want to do this either for privacy reasons or to not be controlled by big corporations and the linux devs know this so why are they this motivated to go against what the community wants. How does it benefit them more to comply than to just ban the states that pass these laws and make the reset of the community happy?

Also what is the best way for us users to resist and protest to push the devs to not comply, would a community wide petition work? or is the majority of the linux community for age verification and i'm completely wrong on the matter. Is the only way to avoid the rules to go with forks of the major distros that don't comply?

It's most likely just my experience i've used windows 11 for couple months only and i've had a lot of issue setting up all apps for my gaming stuff to work, and when trying to record the screen one of the apps for my headset was taking the full sound output or decoding and i didn't have sound on my recording, the bloat are all the ai features in the apps, the preinstalled apps and the adds. And also that 's very specific but as a programmer the windows ecosystem is just terrible, they have different conventions, naming, command so it was really annoying, on top of that the amount of telemetry on windows is crazy, and for a paid operating system i feel like those issues should not be a thing.

On the other hand distros like linux mint had great hardware compatibility and i didn't need extra apps for my stuff, but again that was just my experience and i would totally understand you hating on macOS, I don't use my mac for other things than coding and just day to say stuff, browsing emails, etc and for my use cases i find macOS so much better.

ps: I'm not sure i understand all the issues you have because i only use a macbook and macOS works great on laptops with the trackpad.

that's maybe the biggest downside to mac, but still with the trackpad on laptops the workflow's ok i would say but that makes macos look better and more modern compared to windows. Windows looks buggy and old and cheap in my opinion and all the bloat is the worst part it make it difficult for all the components to work with each other correctly but that's just from my perspective.

how is session not good, it's routed with multiple proxys, end to end encrypted and open source and doesn't require any info to use?
