Xoph I even think about join a community and for me Solus is a community as much as a distro, I look for what kind of core values they hav

strict, adamant, no telemetry of any sort policy since day one. I appreciated that mindset

Solarmass

brent love no telemetry! 👍️

Starting to make the rounds...

Unfortunately, it's the way things are these days...
So let's wholeheartedly applaud the wise and insightful stance taken by the Solus team.

Cheers! 👍

And more publicity, this time from The Linux Experiment, yes the tier list guy 😉 Made his daily news (members only). He was very appreciative and supportive of the announcement by Solus.

I know most, if any, have a subscription. I do from when I was first looking to move to Linux and the year hasn't run out yet. But here is the basic info...

Xoph Been a member as well, but on Patreon. Agree with poor distro taste, but he is a pretty good watch for people getting into Linux like me. Happy to see Solus getting some love out there over this.

Xoph

Solarmass That is why I spread the word, so you wouldn't need to 😉

He is actually a pretty nice guy, just has poor taste in distros.

Well I've officially had enough of TLE....bubye. Seriously if I wanted to hear political commentary I'd turn on the news....

I dont think it does much good trending this unless something major happens.
But I am grateful to Solus for Reading the forums and being proactive in things
and honestly keeping its users up to date.
Reading crap some days my BRAIN! hurts..lol I can imagine how the Solus people feel sometimes.
And again thank them for their hard work.

More coverage I stumbled upon on YouTube.

Well gates of freedom are closing for EU I guess:

First app to age verify
Next make law to force it to download and login to apps with this as authorization
Make it preinstalled with OS's

My prediction 2-3 years and EU will be similar to China or North Korea.

P.S. Love those community notes

I lived long enough to have heard "but it's for the children" to justify every egregious power grab, every year, every decade, regardless of side on.
Thought those words were BS when I was 12 years old and still don't believe it today

🤮

Sure! Almost bad as Russia and USA.

BAD BAD BAD EU! Worst place to be!

Just like Chat-Contrôle.
It’s to protect children.
We’re not fooled, or at least not all of us.
