So fun… these fellows still believe Elon’s words

It is not about the machine; it is about who the machine is working for and who is paying the bill. Make the machine produce garbage for them, and they will stop the money flow.

This is actually pretty nice. I guess we will see similar projects popping up in the near future.

I guess it was inevitable (for multiple reasons). Fortunately, there are lighter flavors of Ubuntu. For the more experienced unwilling to spend their resources this way, there are always other distros.
