Wha? These have nothing to do with each other…not sure what you’re meaning to say.

If you really wanted to, yes. You’d have to be able to deal with the eventual inconsistency involved with overriding a distro default of sorts (Plasma), but it will run just fine and won’t be overwritten.

Your particular wants have nothing to do with the distro being immutable, but more that it’s a productized distro for a specific platform. Your complaint would also work for phones where you want to ditch Android for a stock Linux install. Sure, it’ll most likely run, but you need to deal with what all that entails when not built for the specific thing the device is built for, which is why the entire product platform exists in the first place.

You’ve kinda got it wrong a bit.

Any usermode changes you make don’t get reverted. Boot into Desktop mode, install whatever you want, and those stay.

Underlying OS changes won’t impact that because usermode is seperated from the OS space.

Yup!

Good

First time I’m hearing about them, but what was your draw?

Not entirely the point, but your skepticism is not unfounded by any means.

Jail time and civil penalties are available through suing, though the jail time would require a government entity to prosecute which clearly won’t happen in Texas or at the Federal level…right now. Nothing stopping this from happening in the future, and it can’t be pardoned away, though.

They’ve been doing this since the beginning of the year.

It starts with jokes…

Any text editor with code highlighting works. Plenty of them out there.

How convenient

I just LOVE how they make it seem like there was a choice in the matter.

You know exactly why

The issue isn’t with LLMs being used for what they ARE good at (quickly sorting and correlating data), but everyone trying to make it out to be BIGGER than that, and making awful products accordingly.

Square Peg, Circular Hole.

Never had an issue. You may want to turn off all of the bells and whistles that cause it to spike CPU when idle though, that might help.

No shit

Just like all the rest, it’s a remotely operated pile of garbage that can’t do a damn thing.

Oh wait…they made it jog for some reason. Battery lasts for 20 minutes while walking, so jogging it’s going to get a few doors down and fall over.
