Seems to work just fine on my 2022 Gigabyte brand mobo with a 12-core AM5 socket Ryzen and Nvidia 3070ti GPU. Maybe it has trouble on things like laptops, which often have weird shit put in by their manufacturers? Or are you defining "very new" as "just released this month"?
I'm gaming on Debian stable just fine. I don't get what everyone's thing with bleeding edge software all the time is. To me, "bleeding edge" means "higher chance for something to break and blow up in your face".
I'll wait until the bleeding edge distro users got hit with all the bugs first. My preferences were just justified by the recent xz backdoor stuff.
They are in denial about it too when I moved to Baltimore and found out other regions don't have 24/7 parking lots instead of roads, and then mentioned this fact on a forum full of Northern Virginians. Everybody started bringing up 495 around Bethesda, but like, yeah, that's technically still the DC metro region even though its MD, not VA. The further you get from DC, the more normal traffic becomes.
I fucking dread it when I have a jobsite in VA, because then I always have to add an hour and a half to a trip that should take 45 minutes.
I think in 20 years we are going to see some detrimental effects on the local economy of that place if nobody can get anywhere anymore in a reasonable amount of time in a place where public transportation is absolutely shit. The Metro needs to extend down to Fredericksburg and out west all the way to Manassas, but that'll never happen. Some people deal with up to 3 hour commutes, that's fucking bananas.
There's nothing wrong with charging for your FOSS. You can't, however, force anybody who gets it from you to also charge the people they end up distributing it to like some sort of Ponzi scheme. The transactional relationship between you, your software, and another party ends at the first level.
In my experience, it probably will. I've learned to just leave stuff alone and let the distro people handle it all. They know their own distro way better than me.
It does mean free of cost if the person downstream from you decides to not charge for it after getting it from you and forking it. That's why you're not finding a FOSS license that allows this. Because again, that's not FOSS.
This is not FOSS then. FOSS puts no restrictions on downstream use of your software other than that you acknowledge and credit the original authors.. This is "Open Source" with strings attached. It's no different than being forced to sign an NDA to see your code.
You either make it free for everybody, or then it isn't free software.
A good writer will be figuring out how to leverage this tech for themselves and make their own work more efficient and productive. Just like all the programmers are doing right now. AI is not going away. That is not an option. That's like hoping the Internet "fad" goes away. Either prepare for it, or not and suffer for it, that's the choice everybody is facing right now. Your colleagues are not going to not use a competitive advantage just because you won't.
Now, not so unusual, I have pretty dull and standard "gaming" type PC running stock Debian, but about 20 years ago as a broke mofo I was running a phpBB forum off a wheezing Pentium MMX laptop with no screen (got ripped off a year prior) on Mandrake Linux. The whole thing was just loosely sitting under my bed. Managed to get a userbase of just under a hundred people before I lost interest. I was using Webmin to manage it from another PC.
I had to connect up an external monitor every time I needed to do something I couldn't do remotely. I learned so much from that laptop. "./configure, make, make install" became muscle memory.
