    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.

      I think I understand what you’re saying now but DEBs are not just build scripts. in fact, they aren’t build scripts at all because compilation is not needed to install from deb. There are binaries included in DEB packages. As for root, every DEB package requires root to be installed. When you install a deb file you run “sudo apt install …” and this gives the file and everything in it root privileges. DEB files do not have any security mechanism built into the format.

    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???

    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.

    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!

    Kaspersky was one of the best companies for anti-malware for awhile. Problem was, a few years ago their software was caught phoning home with information from the computers of selected targets… The company is located in Russia and they likely weren't offered a choice in the matter. Nonetheless, I won't be running anything from Kaspersky until the political situation demonstrably changes.
