The breach was an outsourced customer support service, wouldn't really matter what their own security or code looks like if they just move the workload of shit they do to 3rd party companies.

I have a question. I want to start a project which is basically a desktop environment for tablets and htpcs, which puts emphasis on having all apps full screen using gestures and clicking in the corners to navigate. I largely have to self teach myself how to make it, but what would be the best reference points to start with? I've been playing with tinyWM a little but eventually I'll need to either create elements like a start menu and panels from scratch or copy them from something like Cinnamon or MATE. Would it be better to start with an existing higher level project like MATE's Marco and edit it to fit my intentions, or build from scratch and pulling in elements and dependacies as needed?

QTile?
I think there's a couple other tiling window managers that I've seen that I don't remember but would be a good starting point. I've been sort of looking for similar for my retro-gaming console's internal display but haven't gotten anywhere yet.

It might be a good idea to look at how linux phone operating systems like Ubuntu Touch or PostmarketOS handle their desktop environment: https://www.ubuntu-touch.io/ & https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Category:Interface ; I know they at least support Lomiri and Gnome in the case of Postmarket. Purism's PureOS (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/pureos-mobile/) might also be a good place to start, since I know they have versions of the same OS for mobile and desktop use.

I generally want to avoid relying too much on Ubuntu user interface design, I have a reasonably good vision as to how the interface will work, it's just the matter of making it function and pulling existing components as needed. Id rather crib off Cinnamon wholesale but maybe starting with something like MATE would be easier to learn.
It mostly intended for television use where the application is front and center with no interface elements like a taskbar or titlebar shown by default, and the entire thing can be navigated using a tv remote with an air mouse function or a gamepad.

I hate Systemd. Just one measly update broke bluetooth and now my pc takes 5 times longer to boot.

This is on discords site talking about the breach.
Even if it wasn't them getting hacked. I still wouldn't say it's not their fault. They definitely hold some responsibility. The majority I would say.
Not to mention how telling it is that after they learned this breach happened, but as far as I know, before it was disclosed to the public. They sent out an updated terms of service with a forced arbitration clause. That you had no option to decline, that made the app unusable until you hit accept. And the only way to get out of it, is by physically sending them mail.
Definitely seem like the actions of a company who bares no responsibility for it.

They're hecking hateful nazis. That basically mudered thousands of trans people.
Because they were using Omarchy in advertisements. Which is basically the same thing as committing a genocide if you really think about it.
Probably depends. I imagine it will almost always still be cheaper than losing a really bad lawsuit. Especially since they are going to have to pay for lawyers for that anyway.

So I'm seeing a lot of systemd hatred here and, since I'm still in the novice phase of Linux, why is this the case?
I plan on switching to Linux since I don't want Windows 11, (and even if I did I cannot because apparently I don't meet requirements) so I'm just trying to learn what the issues that you all are experiencing.
I was planning on just installing Linux Mint for my main PC since that's just the overall beginner distro, but it uses systemd, so I'm not sure if I should look for an alternative for my case. Primary use of my main PC is video games.

Yeah. I wouldn't talk most of the stuff in this thread that seriously. At least when you see people talking about their opinions on software. Because they are just that, opinions.
Systemd is basically the standard at this point. So being a novice you will probably just want to go with something using it.

No, this is 100% Discord's fault.
No other Zendesk clients were affected. Reporting on this has Discord blaming an unnamed outsourcing company for this. It looks, in some of the Discord press releases on this, that they're trying to imply Zendesk was involved, but they weren't- apart from having the retards at Discord and their outsourced jeet labour use their product.
It is not Zendesk's fault that Discord allowed SHIT COVERED HANDS to touch critical, confidential customer data.
It is not Zendesk's fault that when Garpeet Singh set up twenty accounts for his stupidest cousins to provide customer support services to Discord, that he set them all up with the password 'Teamindia1234' and only added a '!' on the end when Zendesk's password checks caught that he hadn't added a special character.
It is Discord's fault for hiring subhuman pajeets.

Because it's a product of the Microsoft of Linux (Red Hat) and is being shoved into your face at every turn, much like the real Microsoft does with its jeetware. From networking to your home folder where you keep your stuff. The ambition is to be a monolithic, all-encompassing layer for system stuff and, personally, I don't like that. The trend of optional parts becoming mandatory outside of distros where you compile everything yourself isn't helping matters.
I don't think you should bother thinking about this if you're installing your first distro. Mint is fine, use that. You might like it as is and find that systemd just werkz for you. However, if you do notice the occasional breakages and start wondering why your computer is still shutting down 3 minutes after you got up from your chair like I have, there are options. The downside is you'll need to spend time to learn the alternatives, which isn't for everybody.

That's never happened to me, and I've been on systemd for ages. Don't blame systemd for whatever misconfiguration you've made, it works just fine and for 99% of people is what they should be using.

Systemd is a humiliation ritual thrust upon all Linux users by the evil corporate niggerboy Lennart Poettering. It works well (if you don't work with networks), most distros use it, and a lot of manuals you will find online assume Systemd. Mint is great if you want a good first step into Linux, though for gaming specifically you might want to look into distros like Nobara, which cater to that use case.
