Some game servers, some ISPs don't provide IPv6 for (some of) their customers.

Dev needs to eat.

Yeah it's so sad seeing studio after studio being closed down. So many commenters thought Microsoft will revive old IPs after buying studio after studio.

Now it seems like those IPs will just rot at Microsoft in their intellectual property graveyard.

• xtream
• mpv

It's a simple IPTV app. It supports m3u as well as xtream. It can be controlled by keyboard and opens videos/streams in a new mpv window.

I really like it although it does not do advanced things like showing program etc.

Arch requires reading the manual to install it, so installing it successfully is an accomplishment.

It's rolling release with a large repo which fits perfectly for regularly used systems which require up-to-date drivers. In that sense it's quite unique as e.g. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has less packages.

It has basically any desktop available without any preference or customisations by default.

They have a great short name and solid logo.

Arch is community-based and is quite pragmatic when it comes to packaging. E.g. they don't remove proprietary codecs like e.g. Fedora.

Ubuntu is made by a company and Canonical wants to shape their OS and user experience as they think is best. This makes them develop things like snap to work for them (as it's their project) instead of using e.g. flatpak (which is only an alternative for a subset of snaps features). This corporate mindset clashes with the terminally online Linux desktop community.

Also, they seem to focus more on their enterprise server experience, as that is where their income stream comes from.

But like always, people with strong opinions are those voicing them loudly. Most Linux users don't care and use what works best for them. For that crowd Ubuntu is a good default without any major downsides.

Edit: A major advantage of Ubuntu are their extended security updates not found on any other distro (others simply do not patch them). Those are locked behind a subscription for companies and a free account for a few devices for personal use.

I thought the verses might be relevant in some way to the project but they seem to be pretty generic.

Weird choice to put them at the top of their refreshingly comprehensive readme. I believe I've seen projects with a quote at the top before, although they've been shorter.

Some books have quotes before each chapter and they can be inspiring and/or interesting.

I'm using zram on all my systems, be it 4GB or 16GB. Usually swap is empty, so there's no compressing for the CPU to do anyway. If a RPI is capable of ZRAM, your PC won't break a sweat.

ZSTD is really fast. I'm using btrfs compression too, and don't notice any performance impact either.

https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/

In the devices list of lvfs/fwupd there's a bunch of controllers supported. But it seems like it's mostly their retro controllers. XBox-style controllers like their Ultimate C etc. are not supported.

Unless they are taken down, it won't be an issue. Given they've existed for a good while it's unlikely to cause a problen. Even then, hopefully they delete your payment details after a few weeks/months.

If not, paying = assisting a criminal organisation could be a crime depending on your jurisdiction. But most of the time customers aren't prosecuted, but that can change at any point in time.

Torrent sites also have the issue of being centralised by having a domain and servers at some place. Imo the reason torrent sites are targeted less is that they are more inconvenient and thus less of a focus for anti-piracy groups. They generally focus on the most prominent way to infringe on their copyright.

Given the increase in piracy services taken down lately, I wouldn't be surprised if a torrent site was hit at some point too. Unfortunately ;)
