• 👍As always thanks. And Karsper…. no thanks.

• 20:36 no benefit of the doubt when they have been taking the amount of money they have been asking for their phones, and when consumers have asked to either a refund or the device they paid off, their only respone was for them to "fuck off". They know very well that statement is not true, because of their policy about the refunds.

  21:08 of course I am profitable too if I beg customers for money then proceed to not deliver to them and tell them to fuck off when they come asking for what they paid for.

• Nix
  As you mentioned that Nix packages work on other distros, I wanted to add that Nix packages even work on Steam Deck. And I mean in the wrote protected mode enabled. Valve did integrated Nix package system officially into the Steam Deck file structure and made exceptions, so you can install any software from it. I did not try it out yet, but apparently it works.

• Giving Russian administrator rights to our devices is stupid. Remember the NSA contractor incident in 2017 that led to a loss of classified data? It was already Kaspersky.

• About unverified debs. Packages, such like deb, have build script.

• Purism is clearly misleading. Time to move on.

• Kaspersky has always had a glowy Russia vibe. No thanks.

• NixOS install stopped at 46%

• Regarding flatpacks – for me package being from developer or my distro maintainer is the main indicator that I can trust it to be most safe and up-to-date option. App maybe malicious or plain bad, but adding 3rd party does not improve my chances. It helps that I will not have to scan GitHub each time to know, which distribution is official.

• Oh, and thank you Michael for another great and informative show.

• I think Purism should be investigated by the authorities. I never fell for their act back in 2017. Firstly because their hardware sucked and I had this gut feeling about them. It just sounded too good to be true and when Gardiner Bryant recommended in like an almost religious way, I know it was a hoax.

• People seem so worried about Russian software. I say you are brainwashed. That being said, I am never installing an antivirus

• FYI, Kaspersky is a Russian company

• I just spent a few days installing and trying Linux mint. My findings were negative, very slow startup, everything hangs for no reason? No response to mouse movements or keyboard. It was a somewhat older Asus laptop, but it runs Win 10 very well.

• Kaspersky is Russian. There is NO way in hell that goes anywhere near any of my tech.

• Install our KGB malware tool

• Kaspersky is russian and under the grave circumstances with war on Ukraine, I would not touch with a witches broom and it is free makes it even more questionable.
  I recently ditched win11 for Ubuntu 24.04 and I'm still happy with my choice only My favorite game Forza Horizon 5 will not run in Steam. The installation path is too long it says, but all my other games are installed in the same library, so I am not experienced enough to move it to another, shorter library, anyone???

• Yet Google was founded by the CIA.. Yet you'd trust that institution over Kaspersky lol

• Kaspersky is a Russian spying program and people who have a head on their shoulders would never use it.

• I support any steps to improve security, baby ste are better than nothing

• I like this channel BUT I HATE "G" NEWS! Its "NEWS!" Sorry, long day. Why does everything linux have to be "G" info, "G" news, "G" what the hell? Many Linux users, like myself have an IQ larger than a 15 Y.O. and also work with other systems like "W" windows, and "O" osx. and "U" unix ?!?!?!

• I like the "Unverified Flatpak" thing on Mint. It continues LM's theme of being user-friendly and easy to recommend to new Linux users and older tech illiterate folks.

• About flatpaks and Mint warning message… it's a good feature.
  It doenst apply to distro repos because distros shares it's reliability to their repos packages and mainteiners, while unverified flatpaks are on top of what ?
  The great feature of flatpak is it's portability, and thats all. Portability is not related to reliability, so reliability has to be discussed separately, and honestly.
  I sincerly dont understand this love for flatpak. Portability is great indeed, but it's only portability. Dont make it reliability base in your love for portability.

• I don't mind another AV tool, malware definitely exists for Linux (it's just typically targeting servers and not desktop, iirc), but I won't use Kaspersky.

• I basically never get a prompt for the Steam Survey but this time I got one for all 4 of my Linux machines so that is +4 machines for me. "I'm doing my part."
  Kaspersky is a Russian company. That should have probably been mentioned. KGB could force them to do nefarious things.

• I am in no way a video gamer, but I do like good hardware support, and there's nothing like gamers that drives cutting edge hardware support and Enterprise customers to drive quality, stable hardware support.

• To any librem members that happen to read this, we don't need another apple. Make the prices reflect the hardware already.

• I will never put russian software (such as Kaspersky) on my computer. Another telemetry from russian gov.

• Oh dear, the KDE folk may agree to some of the app upgrades I will suggest, but not so much the amount of work that may have to go into making it happen, and I have some good ones that go all the way into the core and the interoperability of KDE apps in the realm of what one uses for home office/small business, and based on one of the best OS's I have ever tried: BeOS (The 195 version in 1995) It didn't work on anything but the hardware they made or had made for them, and together they were quite expensive, although justifiably so, but way more than I could cough up. There was nothing else like it that wasn't custom made for some huge corporation like a major bank, insurance company… and it was geared toward business and home use and was a fully multi threaded system (Maybe the first commercial one), and it could play 10 videos all at once while working on a spread sheet, and on Win 95 and a 486 you were lucky to watch one without glitches!

• Best news show 😸

• I was part of the steam survey this time around, my Manjaro counted!

• Mint’s decision to make it easy for users to limit app installation to only verified Flatpaks will save me lots of time bouncing back and forth to the flathub to ensure that I am only installing verified flatpaks. This will encourage apps developer to maintain their own flatpak, and will discourage malicious folks from using flathub as a watering hole.
