There are also custom gaming distros, like https://batocera.org/
My preference is installing the most clean Debian possible and only adding things on top that you want. The good thing is that new Debian was released recently, so you get fairly up to date versions of everything.
E.g. follow something like https://www.fosslinux.com/49956/install-debian-11-minimal-server.htm and then when you get to console and install plain "gnome-core":
apt install sudo
apt install gnome-core
# Set GUI login for next time
systemctl enable gdm && systemctl set-default graphical.target
# install basics
apt install zsh flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
If Windows works for you, you can keep it, especially if you use some special gaming hardware (steering wheel, joysticks...). Linux now has decent gaming support thanks to SteamDeck being Linux based. Linux is fun though and it gives you freedom.

This is great! The UI is a bit harder to read though, because it's very busy with all the boxes and yet the Game headers are not as prominent (dark color on dark background).
I found all game clones I could think of :)
I was once drinking the night before Christmas in a downtown of a major city, the party was going well, we went to multiple bars and we had a lot of fun
...
and the first next thing I remember is that I'm walking in a dark forrest on a barely paved road. No idea where. I was very drunk, walking in the middle of the road, no lights and the forrest was just getting deeper and darker.
In short spark of drunken clarity I realized that no matter what, it gives me the best chances if I turn back and try walking in the direction where I came from. I turned and I walked for 15 minutes until I got to a bus stop. I tried checking the schedule (back in the day they had printed schedules at each bus stop), but the letters were moving/rotating too much. So I raised my arm to check time, but noticed that someone stole my watch. That left me with no real options, but to wait. After 20 minutes of waiting a bus came, so I got on.
Yeah, the argument is that your node still has to download those txs before being able to throw the data. And yes, this is why practically speaking Knots is not a major difference from Core and the argument is overblown.
Thank you for detailed response and thank you for keeping it civil! Very much appreciated and this well summarized perspective.
I know that this tricky, but would you be able to summarize the situation from Matt's and Steve's perspective? Putting yourself into their shoes - what were the main events that they would highlight? What are their top complaints (correct or incorrect)?
(again thank you for taking the time)
Steve Lee confronted me in person, one can be sure I patiently and calmly listened to his viewpoint, but at the end I did see things differently.
Can you expand on this difference of viewpoints and especially summarize Steve's viewpoint in a way that he would agree with? This point seems to be interesting.
Further one piece that would be useful for summary - could you give some summary stats on your contribution to rust-lightning? E.g. number of PRs from you in those years compared to total number of PRs in those years? Just to get some sense on the size of contribution.
- I get that this is very far from perfect metric
- I get that this is not really meaningful piece of information in this dispute, but I think it would help remove half of the questions/concerns.
I have not read your past back-and-forths and interaction with the folks, but it sounds like this is already escalated situation and there is a lot to unpack from the past. Is that correct?
In that case it's hard to point at this very last situation/case (this specific request on github) and you can't really expect us to try assessing the situation just based on the last post.
So just couple of high level observations: The title of your post (both here and github) are unnecessarily triggering. When people read it, they will immediately create a picture about you and that reduces your chances to actually make them listen carefully.
Your posts are very long, bringing many points, many different pokes and punches. In escalated situation - the less text is often much better. With long text the reader immediately tries fighting individual points and nuance and that's the last thing you need. Just focus on the point where you need alignment, find the common ground with the other side and focus on that. The rest can be discussed later, separately, when the heads cooled down. That way you would have much more success.
I'm not saying you are wrong or correct, I'm saying that this communication style and behavior usually has this type of reaction and we see it again and again. If you communicate with this style I think unfortunately the outcome is quite predictable. Last time I observed Jeremy Rubin was missing couple of communication skills like this and he ended up very frustrated.
I can offer one more perspective. Communication is a skill like any other skill. When someone asks you to learn Rust, then you know exactly what to do, right? Like read some docs and quick tutorials, you try a demo project, you watch Youtube video about it, maybe you read a book about it. With communication it's exactly the same and the approach is also the same, but somehow people don't think that way. Watch youtube videos, read a book, find some articles and tutorials, try getting better on some "demo" situations...
There is no way to prevent CSAM being included in the data using one of many possible ways (e.g. in witness, which is what ordinals use). It's already most likely included in existing chain.
Why is this a protocol fight? HTTP, SMTP, FTP all include CSAM (by some definition of "include").
Somehow reminded me of https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
I taught my 18 month old to differentiate between grass and weeds and so he's now weeding the lawn with decent precision. Gotta start early 😀
There are multiple red flags about it.
It looks like fork of Wasabi, but it doesn't explain any differences/additions? It doesn't seem to have much activity https://github.com/GingerPrivacy/GingerWallet/commits/master/
