Linux in 2025: Less Software, Less Features, Less Tested... & Slower
Big Tech & the major Linux foundations are driving Desktop Linux into the ditch. Plus: No "Linux Sucks" this year. That would be like kicking a crippled puppy.

The source code for xlibre can be found on Github:

@djsumdog @GothicAnon @Hoss Remember that back in the early days of the site, the staff would create fake accounts and fake discussions in order to make it look like the site was active.
