That’s a bold assumption for a global enterprise software company. Especially one that doesn’t exclusively target IaaS environments.

RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.
Maybe you add Gentoo, some post-CentOS clones/forks, or other more niche industry/workload specific distros, but how you do skip Debian?
lol.
Just search for Purism customer support experiences.
I’m honestly amazed there hasn’t been a fraud, or some other consumer protection type criminal investigation.
All that baggage, and their hardware is also laughably outdated and overpriced.
Which is unfortunate, because the concept is amazing and clearly there’s a sizable market for it.
Here is an example of just ONE flavor of Purism customer experiences:
Announce current gen hardware and current pricing.
Customer pays
Customer receives hardware 5 years later, after being told approx. 362 times that cancellation refunds are down, or unable to be processed.
Customer tries to immediately return the 5 year old laptop that was just delivered and is told “No Returns”
There are other variations that you can read about on various forums.
No, it’s a way to say that Mint has become bloated and not a great experience.
I just switched to Fedora from Mint, and was impressed.
I recently switched my main Linux laptop to Fedora and I have to say, it’s probably the most stable and clean distro I’ve ever used.
They don’t say who was targeted, but I bet this is a backdoor way to infiltrate specific projects. So if they have a list of 163 projects they see a benefit in gaining some sort of access to, they then compile a target list from the relevant developers/contributors to all of those projects, and go from there.
This isn’t the type of campaign that can be spammed to anyone and everyone both due to logistics and to minimize exposure of the tools being used.
Exactly. There’s no way that could ever go tits up.
Depends. Are either of those companies bootstrapping a for-profit startup and trying to dupe people into contributing free labor prior to their inevitable rug pull/switcheroo?
The general inability to manually order Podcasts and playlists is the only real serious drawback to the app.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic. I’m not a FOSS purist, and it’s still my primary podcast app. Just hoping one day to get that feature.
His CPU has integrated graphics. He can do full passthrough.
Now, if he’s doing that with a Type 2 hypervisor, I suspect the performance will still be lackluster for video editing, if it’s even supported.
Which means he’s also going to have to learn to use KVM.
I’ve bought, owned, and used, Pi’s since the original. The Raspberry Pi 5 is the first version that I will not purchase and deploy, so fuck off with your bullshit and go back to shilling for YouTube advertisers, or whatever other corporate interest tickles your fancy, just take it somewhere else.
Completely abandoned their original hobbyist customer base and sent all their inventory to B2B sales channels and scalpers for several years.
And now that they’re finally providing B2C vendors with stock, they’ve jacked up the prices by 100% to 300%.
Don’t forget the Raspberry Pi foundation was supposed to be a nonprofit and the only reason they’re the premier SBC is the community. Other boards have better specs, at a better price, with better features. The community support, the hobbyists, are the primary reason why they are what they are.
That’s just one bad action, but their had been plenty others recently. Some other comments here have provided information you should read, such as hiring police officers who specialized in using Pi’s for surveillance…
The Pi foundation showed their true colors. Don’t continue to support them.
Reactionary dipshit
That’s not how carrier phone payment plans work.
Bootloader locking is different than carrier lock.
Regardless, you owe whatever you signed for, phone, or no phone.
Everything is still FOSS.
HOWEVER, they are no longer dumping the 1:1 RHEL source code. So the changes to RHEL will still be available, but freeloading for-profit projects will have to locate and integrate the packages separately and at their own time and expense i.e Alma, Scientific, etc.
Basically certain companies would sell their cheaper RHEL clones on the promise that they were “bug for bug compatible” with RHEL, but cost a lot less overall, because they weren’t shouldering any development costs.
Yes, Pine64 is absolutely an organization that adheres to their stated ethos. They are what the Pi foundation should have been, but only pretends to be.
There are good business use cases for Pi’s, you can search online to learn more if you want.
That’s not the issue. The Raspberry Pi Foundation stopped supplying retail resellers and shipped 99% of ALL of their inventory to business customers for the past several years. Which is why you can’t find consistent stock, and why scalpers are mysteriously the only ones able to have reliable inventory.
It’s not a secret, you can look up any number of news stories covering it. Originally they could blame the chip shortage, but long after that’s over, they’re still diverting almost everything they manufacture to business channels, and screwing over the hobbyists who built their brand.
Screw them. I’m not supporting them with my money ever again, and I have double digit amounts going back to the RPi2.
The Pi foundation screwed over its original customer base by diverting practically ALL available inventory to business customers. Good riddance.
There are probably more authoritative sources that have performed similar surveys or studies, but this was a recent one.

It was also the first relevant result that I clicked on, and it more or less lined up with my own anecdotal experiences working with a very diverse assortment of businesses, SMB through large enterprise.
If you don’t want to click on that link, or read through it, here is a graph with the results:
