You need everyone else in the EU to agree to remove them. Poland and Hungary sort of protect each other from EU consequences.

((a, b) => a ?? b)();

const fn = (a, b) => a ?? b

They're both free software licences (i.e. you can get the source code for for BSD licenced software and GPL licenced software that you're using at no extra charge and modify it as you please). The GPL licence has an additional restriction for developers that says if you use any GPL code in your codebase, your entire codebase must also be GPL or some other compatible open source licence.

This means that if I made some code parses a file format and another developer includes that code in their program to support that file format, they're now forced to licence their whole codebase with a similar licence to the GPL. If it was BSD then they would only have to mention that they used my BSD licenced code and include a copy of that licence. A user would then be able to go and see my original code that was used, but not the rest of that application's code or any modifications that the application author made to my code. Because the GPL is too restrictive for most developers here, there's a version of the GPL called the LGPL which is often used for code meant to be used by other programs which is closer to the BSD licence but additionally requires that if they modify your code, they must also share that modified code.

I usually use a licence in the middle called the MPL (Mozilla Public Licence), which is similar to the LGPL but has a few things I prefer and has the advantage for me of not being connected to the FSF and GNU project.

I didn't make the meme, I saw it on twitter and thought it was funny in a self deprecating way.

I use all three, although primarily run Linux and macOS.

I think Apple's hardware offerings have really beaten the competition with their new M-series chips just outperforming everyone else with significantly less energy. You also get the advantage of macOS being a UNIX system, so if you're familiar with Linux, the same principles apply.

I switched from running Linux on my Surface Pro 3, then Linux on a Dell XPS 15, to a 14" MacBook Pro with the 10-core M1 Pro. I still use Linux on my desktop and love it, but macOS is very similar to Linux and apple's portable hardware beats everyone else by about 3 years or more imo. There are definitely some apple universe quirks but I wouldn't consider anyone else for a laptop for another few generations of competitors attempting to catch up with where apple was in 2021.

ARM, but Apple has the most advanced ARM chips and macOS /The AS Platform has the best amd64 to arm64 translation layer.

I mean at that point you're basically running macOS 😉

I couldn't imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it's an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I'd never go back to anything else.

I miss circles

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don't think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

HDR support is still very early/basic right now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

No wait at all at my place.
