I just found out about that sub today so I’m not going to comment on it, but the post is definitely a joke/troll post (the red light emojis are so in your face that you can’t even call them clues due to how blatant they are)

If you have access to their git, watch out for the commit history. Check how much code each commit is introducing and/or editing and how fast they are, and how many times these big commits happen.

If you see a project with big commits in very short interval of times, it’s a sign that it was vibe coded

But Mullvad could also react a little better, by emphasizing that they would remove him if they could, and that they are working on a solution.

Don’t anthropomorphize companies mate. That’s not how it works.

Think about it, from inside the company point of view: who, exactly, would write and post something like that?

Mullvad isn’t a company with a board that can vote out a shareholder. Berntsson and Stromberg are the sole shareholders and co-CEOs, 50/50. There’s no mechanism to “remove” a co-owner short of him voluntarily selling his stake or a negotiated buyout, and neither will happen because of some angry posts on the internet.

Mullvad isn’t a separate entity with its own thoughts and ideologies. It’s two guys who hire people to offer a service

you’re right, it was also one of the reasons I avoided fedora originally. Company of Heroes for example would work OOTB in any other distro, but on fedora it would crash as soon the game opened - unless I skipped the intro movies with the steam command. My guess it was the codecs, even though I supposedly had installed them.

But just you know, if someday you give it another shot, you can use this link: https://nattdf.streamlit.app/

It’s basically a script builder that helps you get fedora up and running with everything you want. Codecs was never an issue since I used it

I’ve been using Fedora in my gaming desktop with a nvidia GPU - which not that long ago, would be a recipe for a disaster since nvidia + wayland = problems. But so far, the experience has been very stable, despite me being an update addict that updates the OS almost daily.

From my experience, it’s been more stable than EndeavourOS (which is basically Arch), Ubuntu and Mint. YMMV and all that. Edit: I’ve been using it for 5-6 months now

PS: you will want to give this a go, if you go Fedora: https://nattdf.streamlit.app/

It’s a tool created to get your Fedora up and running in one go. You can use it to configure flathub, install codecs, etc.

I use malware btw

I think it was just an example (poor one, true).

In my case, I just need to give access to my admin account in order for them to work - not the default admin account, to be clear.

I also don’t get it

I jumped on their github page and skimmed a few issues, and found this: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1027

It looks like they just need to figure out a couple of issues before they implement notifications, so it might happen someday. But taking into account how old these issues are, it’s not their priority.

Eventually some update will break stuff, and you’ll be expected to know how to web search and fix it yourself

Arch isn’t necessarily unstable or “dreadful”. It’s a distro that requires the user to know what they’re doing and to be a tinkerer by nature. Whether this is a feature or a downside is dependent on the user.

But I agree with you, recommending an Arch based distro to someone who is not a tinkerer and just wants to use the PC - which is the vast majority of PC users - is a mistake.

PS: I use EndeavourOS btw

recommends arch based distros to everyone

“Wait why do you guys say linux is complex and difficult!?”

I’m a simple man. I see endeavour OS, I like
