| schestowitz[TR3] | DistroTube -A Richard Stallman Fan that Prioritizes Appearance | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Distrotube’s channel is about Linux distro reviews, opinion pieces, FOSS philosophy, Tiling WMs, Emacs, and CLI. He frames his preferences as superior and presents his workflow as the ideal. For beginners or mainstream users, it's totally impractical (following the pattern of Loonixards expecting normies to use their computers like they do). I use TWM and CLI myself, but I wouldn't suggest it for people who don't live on their h | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ome PCs or don't have issues with RSIs. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | He pushed emacs hard for a long time, but never explained why. He even stated that it took him 2 years to learn it himself. At one point, he finally said why he preferred emacs to vim: "because of the fonts", and "my aging eyes". -FFS that's a crazy reason to push it on others! | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | His website shows heavy emphasis on Emacs/Org Mode, tiling window managers, Minimalist distros, and manual configuration. -Nothing a normie benefits from, and they often feel misled when they try to copy his setup and break their system. Even as a power user, I found starting from scratch was easier than copying or dealing with his twisted way of doing things. -Not good for noobs, not good for power users. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | He encourages beginners to jump into advanced workflows they’re not ready for. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | DTOS (his own distro) was marketed as a “simple” way to get his Arch workflow, but it was poorly documented and broke easily. It mixed personal preferences with system‑level configs and wasn’t maintained at a distro‑quality standard. His own community criticism of the project is widespread. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Many videos cover the same topics. First glance videos (some call reviews) merely cover the desktop environment which is fine if you distro-hop every time an update makes things complicated. Do viewers really need to hear an opinion on how 'beautiful' the default desktop is when they could simply bring up snapshots in far less time? He barely covers anything that really matters especially for an OS that markets itself as 'customiz | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | able'. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Viewers expect a journalistic Linux channel, but Distrotube is just a personal vlog. | Apr 17 15:41 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | His content aims to appeal to Arch users, minimalists (which are dying out and less and less useful), tiling WM enthusiasts, and FOSS purists. The community is elitist or dismissive of mainstream Linux users which he has written about. (The Loonixtards of Loonixtards) | Apr 17 15:41 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I don't know why "vibe coding" is allowed in Linux now. | Apr 17 18:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It seems like two things will happen. | Apr 17 18:20 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll start getting tons of patches that are just something plausible that a chatbot made up. The submitter might have understood what it was trying to do, they might not. | Apr 17 18:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So they'll get bombarded with some patches from people who just directly submit what the robot made up. | Apr 17 18:21 |
| IsambardPrince | These either won't work at all or they'll introduce morer problems than what they were trying to solve. | Apr 17 18:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if the code is mostly okay, has problems, but the person trying to submit it understands what the problem is and fixes it up to work, and it does work, you still have licensing issues. | Apr 17 18:22 |
| psydroid3 | vibing into irrelevance | Apr 17 18:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Where it sees code under one license that was in github somewhere, and then suggests what is essentially the same code. Then they try to license it for Linux under the GPLv2. | Apr 17 18:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Which creates a legal problem which can spark lawsuits for copyright infringement against the Linux project, all of the maintainers who submitted such code, distributions, and even people using the distributions. | Apr 17 18:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It will be like SCO v. Linux all over again except that instead of just baseless accusations and a few lines from a header file that could not possibly work any other way and THAT is why it was similar.... | Apr 17 18:24 |
| IsambardPrince | It will be all over the kernel tree by then, actually true, and impossible to defend. | Apr 17 18:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Even worse, there could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of lines of this sort of code all over the tree by then. | Apr 17 18:25 |
| IsambardPrince | And it might take years to replace it all, so you could lose all of the functionality it added when those patches have to be reverted or the entire module deleted from the tree. | Apr 17 18:25 |
| IsambardPrince | IBM/Red Hat is promoting "vibe coding" for the Linux kernel, but it doesn't promise that they will defend you when you have problems. | Apr 17 18:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Nowhere on their stinking blog do they promise they'll help you out. | Apr 17 18:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Also, I ran into some new accusations against ReactOS. | Apr 17 18:27 |
| IsambardPrince | According to a Microsoft employee who works on the kernel, he has looked at the ReactOS kernel source code and has found a lot of code that could not have possibly been clean room reverse engineered. | Apr 17 18:28 |
| IsambardPrince | He asserted that the code in question is not in symbols that are publicly exported by any part of the Windows kernel and would be impossible to reimplement "verbatim" without access to the source code of a Windows kernel. | Apr 17 18:28 |
| IsambardPrince | He claims that the files in question contain lots of code that is identical to the "Windows Research Kernel" which was distributed to universities under Microsoft's "shared source" program, which was not open source. | Apr 17 18:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't recall which version of Windows the WRK was based on, but I want to say I recall reading it was based on a version of the tree for Windows 2003 Server, perhaps with some service pack level. | Apr 17 18:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The WRK wasn't useful on its own, because Microsoft stripped the tree of very nearly all of the drivers first. | Apr 17 18:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The legal status of ReactOS is doubtful, but I would guess Microsoft hasn't done anything about it because it's also not a threat to them. | Apr 17 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Wine on Linux can run more Windows programs, and ReactOS has very limited support for running outside of a Virtual Machine. | Apr 17 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes it can't even handle running on a Virtual Machine. | Apr 17 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | And if this is 30 years of work, then the next 30 years are unlikely to result in anything useful eitehr. | Apr 17 18:33 |

| IsambardPrince | Even when you install it, Microsoft uses a disguise to hide the true size, many of those folders use NTFS file system compression, which iirc is basically just DEFLATE. So in exchange for hiding the true size of it which is probably well over 200 GB, your computer runs slower. | Apr 17 18:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think that Microsoft ever updated the compression algorithm, so it's still basically a slow algorithm designed in the early 90s by a man who drank himself to death in a motel room in Wisconsin while the police were looking for him, which is being used by Windows 10 and 11 to hide their true size. | Apr 17 18:52 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: schestowitz[TR3] Anyway, that's the reason why Windows doesn't just enable file system compression across the entire system. | Apr 17 23:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It only uses it in folders where pretty much everything inside that folder will compress well. | Apr 17 23:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They never bothered fine tuning it so it won't bother trying to compress files that don't compress. | Apr 17 23:35 |
| MinceR | well, given that the demands for different files are different, it would be stupid to just enable file system compression on the entire system | Apr 17 23:35 |

| IsambardPrince | "As to why ReactOS is stuck in the early 2000s, it could be because of all the source code which was stolen and put wholesale into the project. Although if that was the case I'd have expect MS would have sued the living shit of the project by now. It could also be because Windows was and is a very complex OS with many layers which if you're trying to re-implement with a team of 10s to 100s versus 1000s it's going to take a lot of time. | Apr 17 23:39 |
| IsambardPrince | It's seems unlikely that the project would spend the millions of man hours to create the abomination that is UWP." | Apr 17 23:39 |
| IsambardPrince | UWP just isn't all that important. | Apr 17 23:39 |
| *Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Apr 17 23:39 | |
| IsambardPrince | It's much more importantt to implement win32 if you have limited resources and they have to be put one place or another. | Apr 17 23:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Since UWP relies on Win32 anyway, you couldn't implement UWP before Win32 if you wanted to. | Apr 17 23:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a superset. | Apr 17 23:40 |
| IsambardPrince | If you started implementing parts of UWP it wouldn't gain you much of anything until Win32 is roughly complete. | Apr 17 23:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And I would say that ReactOS is worse off than being stuck in the early 2000s. | Apr 17 23:41 |
| IsambardPrince | In some cases it cannot run Windows software that NT4 or 2000 could. | Apr 17 23:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Even though it claims to be Windows 2003 to applications. | Apr 17 23:41 |
| IsambardPrince | it has to claim to be something. | Apr 17 23:42 |
| IsambardPrince | But as long as anything is missing, it's guaranteed that something won't work. | Apr 17 23:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone was talking about EarthSiege II not installing in a bug recently. | Apr 17 23:42 |
| IsambardPrince | That game workeed on Windows 95, even without DirectX installed! | Apr 17 23:43 |
| IsambardPrince | But you can't even get the installer to work on ReactOS. | Apr 17 23:43 |
