Even the "Tech Gurus" hate Windows now

Bazzite, schmazzite... it would be hard to help somebody with that. If it doesn't involve turning it off and on again, there probably isn't much you can do with that.

I tried out Bazzite a couple years ago, wasn't my cup of tea

In this one he talked about the Cpanel vulnerability and the Linux Copy Fail vulnerability.

He needn't be that righteously admonishing... I doubt he's ever worked on complex software like operating system kernels and server admin front ends etc. (if ever anything, at all). What's happening right now is that AI is finding flaws, in ways that humans haven't thought of yet.

I heard about that, yeah. I don't like Debian, so I don't care, but that's just going to make things more onerous for packagers and developers. I would say, fine... don't include my software because I'm not doing that. (It's not only the compiler, the code and build setup has to be conducive)

It's pointless. If you want packages that are bit for bit identical, use signed binaries. Why would you even want to build it? I certainly want my packages different than the distributor... I want them optimized and usually customized in some way (e.g. fewer dependencies or edited/patched in some cases)

Everything I compile is a different binary every time. Everything I tar has a different checksum every time too. It's just the way it is. It's the source code I'm starting with that has to be identical.
