To hell with "political violence is always bad", I want to use all these tar and feathers I've been hoarding!! /s

Fun fact: I recently learned life insurance can be used as a mechanism for really wealthy people to dodge taxes. Basically under the right circumstances you can pull money from life insurance policies with little to no penalty (and no, I'm not talking about when you die). High Deductible Health Plans and their corresponding Health Savings Accounts also work the same way, because they accumulate interest and have no tax penalty when used under the right circumstances.

In essence, insurance is a scam to rob those who don't have much means, while simultaneously acting as a money laundering vehicle for those who do.
Wonder if this has anything to do with how the COSMIC tries to give more resources to whatever is in focus on the screen...
Looks awesome! I love witnessing all the progress the System76 team is making. It really makes it seem like anything is possible.
In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once... She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change
It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:
They are. Which is why these people go for FWB...if they can even get that
It's funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk...never thought I'd see this day in the US!
So something I just thought of, and I'm surprised nobody brought up (well, I guess some did indirectly, it just wasn't obvious to me): A major benefit of basing off of Ubuntu is more up-to-date hardware support. While it's true that Debian now supports non-free firmware by default, that doesn't mean that it will be recent.
Debian support for hardware is truly impressive, but it ultimately lags behind because Debian prioritizes stability over new features. This is why routine Debian updates only cover severe bugs and security issues, and from what I can tell that also is the case for hardware support and the kernel.
Ubuntu tries to keep in step with new hardware releases, which makes much more sense for power users like engineers, developers and gamers, all of which seem to be key consumers of System76 hardware. Basing off of Ubuntu makes it easier to satisfy that clientele. I imagine it also makes submitting upstream fixes for hardware-related packages easier.
Interesting two cents! Your line of reasoning is pretty thorough, and I think your educated guesses are fairly sounds! Thanks for contributing! I agree, while switching to Debian as a base would certainly be a lot of work, System76 has definitely gone above and beyond in far more complex ways, particularly with their COSMIC DE effort.
Interesting, I didn't realize that. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm genuinely curious what exactly is "wrong"?
It's a theme website. GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and even Cinnamon has one...why is this bad?
