  • The shit isn’t made here. China is more than capable of creating all of this stuff without the USA. The US companies are only pricing the stuff at below what it costs to do the same natively.

    This is just like what has happened with Nvidia. Right wingnuts are too stupid to understand how monopolies work. One must suppress the market to prevent the fiscal viability of competitors.

    Everyone knows of the Raspberry π? That is Broadcom suppressing the trailing edge compute market as a monopoly. They are selling a set top TV box chip to use in the Rπ at cost from the fab only using any excess down time on a trailing edge fab node. They are preventing Rockchip, Allwinner, and Mediatek from grass roots scaling. They are also spuriously passing off their manipulative monopoly move as a charity and tax write off, while undercutting a free trade market, and doing it with a proprietary device in an open source community space by making the Rπ the path of least resistance with disproportionate software development funding.

    This is how all US companies work. The device you are looking at right now is likely running a proprietary Qualcomm SoC. The orphaned proprietary Linux kernel is the reason you do not own the device and it is not supported for the real life of the hardware.

    Dogmatic fools blame the tools. The tools are never the problem.



  • All distros have niche purposes, but most components are compatible.

    As an abstract concept, Linux From Scratch is like ultimate god mode. That walks you through everything in extraordinarily overwhelming fashion to build a operating system from scratch.

    Gentoo is like LFS on easy mode with a package manager to help you stay on top of a working system. It is still like maybe demigod mode. The main thing with Gentoo is that you have access to compiling everything from source, so you can integrate any changes you would like to make to packages within the package manager.

    If you understand a UNIX operating system on a LFS/Gentoo level, Arch is like both of these, but with binary packages.

    Debian is primarily for a more complete base system with stability where they make long term support kernels. Debian is primarily for creating custom tools on servers and for reverse engineering hardware. Most hardware drivers come from Debian.

    Red Hat is the goto for commercial server stuff. Many Kernel maintainers and developers work for Red Hat. Fedora is up stream of Red Hat and has most of the tools from Red Hat. The book The Linux Bible is the goto book for learning IT and networking and is written around Fedora/Red Hat.

    So the reason for the bla bla bla is because understanding the purposes of each of the distros will guide you to essential documentation. This is the key to intermediate level Linux; when you understand where to look for information across all distros.

    • LFS will walk you through any components in tutorial detail if you can find the entry point and ground your understanding.
    • Gentoo is likely to have similar tutorial guides and information that has easier entry points.
    • Arch is like the giant warehouse of components. Arch has the wiki which is the principal documentation on the components themselves. What Arch is not, is tutorial. The wiki is an encyclopedia. Use it as such.
    • Debian has the bootstrapping stuff and documentation to port onto new hardware or explore.
    • Red Hat/Fedora have the information and tools for the kernel and networking. If you want to mess with something like the CPU scheduler or configuring numa architectures, these are the places to look for documentation.

    These are general loose guidelines. For your monitor resolution issue, I would start with Gentoo and Arch. I had a similar issue when I tried Arch back around 8-9 years ago, but I do not recall the details and it has probably changed considerably since the X11 to Wayland transition.





  • It is blatantly obvious. It is mosad. Maxwell has the ties to mosad. The mosad connection is why everything in Gaza has played out as it has. It makes no sense. No sane person supports this genocide. The fascism is convenient for Mosad and extermination of the Palestinians. The Jewish cause has always been capable of leveraging enormous capital and has long been known for a lack of ethics throughout history. 47 acts just like someone that has extortion leverage over their head. Stuff like bombing Iran was done at Israeli command in opposition to party and everything he campaigned for breaking a support base that now demands the Epstein files as a response. People don’t do stuff that is that stupid and self deprecating on a whim. The issue is pushed around and lied about in the exact fashion as a con artist that is about to get caught. Epstein collected leverage around the world and that leverage is being cashed in for 2 million lives in Gaza.
