12:43 schestowitz[TR2]; What these efforts generally have in common is a desire to change the commercial dynamic of source-available software. In other words, the movers and shakers in these movements want to get paid more, or more charitably, want to start a movement in which programmers that work on source-available software as a broader class get paid more. The other trait they have in common is a view that th

16:32 schestowitz[TR2]; Ubuntu 24.04 LTS appeared in mid-April, widely welcomed by its countless fans. Very quickly, however, their enthusiasm was cooled once it became clear that, intentionally or not, the distribution came with a serious limitation.
16:32 schestowitz[TR2]; Namely, DEB files cannot be installed through the App Center, the usual application used for this.

17:38 schestowitz[TR2]; Yes and no.
17:38 schestowitz[TR2]; I bought a high-end Tuxedo laptop with this faith in mind. It does not wake up from suspend in the only s2idle mode available. After days of struggling, the manufacturer pointed me to a kernel patch to address this. Indeed, booting with a patched kernel transformed the laptop into a laptop. Obviously, Average Joe won't even be able to do this.
17:38 schestowitz[TR2]; The problem is a mix-up of the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU with USB4. The patch is a PCI quirk that Linux developers do not want to integrate mainstream, although the quirks.c file already contains many device specific resolutions. Tuxedo is not to be blamed for that. I am therefore 'condemned' to build a kernel for years, I'll do that on every major release.
17:38 schestowitz[TR2]; So much research is still needed before buying a PC for Linux, whoever builds it."
