It's for a fundamentally illegitimate act, because virtually no ISP allows you to resell part of your connection to others. The only potentially non-infringing use of such a tool is to permit you to use your own connection remotely. Even wilder, have you been to Pawns.app? It's all about surveys and shit, it says nothing about a connection sharing proxy on the front page, they're tricking people into installing their proxy! Once they install the app, which said nothing about that, it asks them if they want to make some money by sharing their connection. Surely it doesn't mention that this is theft of services...

Debian mostly avoids untested things, which is another reason the systemd debacle was so weird, but I digress. They'll no doubt adopt it in the future once it's got some years under it, unless it turns out to have horrible problems. One good thing about Debian being volunteer-operated is that there's not too many maintainers who want to create more work for themselves just for the sake of newness.

"Powered by the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel series, Ubuntu 26.10 ships with the latest GNOME 51 desktop environment, TPM-backed full disk encryption (FDE) support on computers without a hardware root of trust, updated Settings to show whether a computer is certified for Ubuntu, and 100% Rust coreutils."

That's an impressive list of anti-features. I'll be sure to avoid it right away.

I use a Windows machine with 16GB and even when Windows claims much of it is free, it still chokes with a bunch of disk activity when I use little used functions even of applications I'm actively using. I conclude that Windows is paging even when it doesn't have to, and then having to reload those pages later. This is sloppy bullshit because they could copy those pages to disk and not actually reallocate until it's necessary.
