As long as the backdoor is licenced GPL what's the problem?

Coincidentally just just watched this Gutsick Gibbon (primatologist) vid which touches on this a bit (though not the main topic). https://youtu.be/dy7_LousWVo

Unfortunately your stats link appears to be paywalled, or at least requires login to see the graph?

What are you talking about. Everyone knows polls are the best way to determine what is or is not a myth. That's why that TV show Mythbusters failed so miserably and is off the air now. Too much fiddly experimentation and sciency mumbojumbo, and not nearly enough polls. It really helps if the polls ask pointed questions about hot button issues with little to no context also... So people aren't confused or have to think too much (which also is a form of dishonesty when you think (but not too much) about it). Pretty sure there is a poll out there somewhere that confirms this.

Maybe check out Pop! OS

But, yes, nearly all linux software will run on any distro. And even a fair amount of windows software will run on any of them with WINE (or VirtualBox if desperate). Occasionally commercial software will get packaged in an "installer" format a particular distro doesn't know how to install. A fairly rare situation, for which there are almost always work-arounds. You can cross that bridge if you ever encounter it.

I also agree it looks like some kind of sedum (in a bit of a sad state), but just wanted to add that sedum is known commonly as stonecrop in some places. In case you're looking around in a garden store or something, they may be called stonecrop there.

What features are locked? I've only ever used the f-droid version, and haven't noticed anything blocked. But I don't use it much (unfortunately).

Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.
