Same, here, but I think also my thinkpad is not powerful enough for guix (Intel core duo).

Ubuntu is fine. When you get your PC, you can see for yourself and decide. If Ubuntu just works for you, stick with it, if it is a bad experience, try another GNU/Linux distro. Be aware though that the back end of the appstore in Ubuntu is proprietary/closed-source/nonfree/bad.

systemd vs sysv

There is no systemd vs sysv war. It is systemd suck or systemd fine.

“Custom ROM” is technically a false term for them, and LineageOS, PrivacyGuides and other institutions use the term “Android distributions” instead.

Why?

Yes, but does anyone actually use LGPL still?

That does not matter. I think glibc uses it, not sure.

Anyway that is a different license and not really GPL anymore, as it does not force anything.

It forces people to give back to LGPL code. It is a weak copy left. I do not know what you mean by being GPL.

If they were LGPL from the start, yes, that probably would solve it.

That is my point.

Do you know about the LGPL license? I think it allows you to statically link proprietary code, and the LGPL code remains open while the closed code remains closed. Modified and distributed lgpl still remain under the LGPL.

The corporate adoption on uutils already started.

Windows is now using uutils for their coreutils. I want to see if Microsoft gives back anything to the project with that permissive license. Also, aren’t canonical and Microsoft partners or something? I saw the Ubuntu wsl news.

That is pretty cool. Did not know that. Will still be keeping my partition because it works fine for me.

Someone told me to RTFM. I later realized that was good advice. (I learned by reading documentation)

Then what is the setup if my computer only has 4GB of memory for daily driving? Just curious because swap partitions are what I normally do on limited resource machines.

Does RMS fit in the picture here? The founder of the fsf and GNU.
