I’ve used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I’ve never heard of them being “known for” the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I’d be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you’re saying.
VM detection that I’ve run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven’t ran any tests to verify).
Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.
I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.
This is one of the first things addressed in the lecture.
Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.
Speak for yourself, I’ve been prepared to submit detailed bug reports before the process in place to do so turned me off.
9/11, yes, but what human rights did we lose from covid? Having to wear a mask for a while? Or being heavily encouraged to get a vaccine? …
I agree with you overall, but not your final conclusion. There are some distros with a history of security problems, like Manjaro. And some smaller distros may have a development team with a higher probability of shipping bugs, stability issues, or again security problems. So doing a little research on any distro of interest would be a good idea before installing.
I’d reccomend searching for “(distro) security problems”, “(distro) bugs”, and " (distro) controversies" before settling on an option.
Yeah, they are a cool company that has been serving this niche market for a long time.
Fair. My understanding is that not all of their lineup is equally Linux friendly. I had the original GPD pocket, which IIRC had a official Linux image. I didn’t even use that image, and had a functional Ubuntu install. Their newer devices are more mature from a hardware perspective, so it may be worth some research on those regarding features and Linux compatibility.
Awesome :) I think I shall set this up in Termux later for one more on the go music option.
Keep in mind that what you find painful, some people find fun :)
Check out the GPD Pocket/Mini PC lineup, they have pocket sized laptops that can run Linux. Not sure about water resistantce, think you can get some or all of their options with a cell network module.
Yes! It is beautiful and easy to work with, very much my tool of choice for coding.
On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn’t been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don’t have some level of confidence in that, I’d rather not rely on the tool.
This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn’t being updated.
