makes it easier to block the knobs when they self-report claiming to be “victims”

except musl distros

someone else mentioned original version was 14 years – individuals get auto-renewed (total 28 years), corps get no renewal (total 14 years) – maybe even less if publicly funded like vaccine research (7 years?)

I could also see longer terms for individuals over corporations: ie. copyright protecting the creator/artist rather than the publisher

• for most people, use whatever your distro ships with and installs for you
• choosing desktop environments still starts heated discussions – high end, it’s a choice between Gnome and KDE – mid-tier has Xfce, LXQt, Mate, Cinnamon, and more – limited hardware go for IceWM, JWM, FLWM, or similar – want to get your hands dirty? go for a tiling window manager
• X11 is (effectively) abandonware at this point – it’s still getting security patches, but the devs left and started Wayland 17-ish years ago
• XLibre is more political than technical – and I’ll leave it at that
