> Ew, why would you do all that only to virtualize a mess of an ISA?
Because I'm familiarised with it, and there's still more free software available in amd64 than ppc64, POWER9 is also intended to emulate other ISAs efficiently and these boards are intended to run VMs, and having one VM emulating amd64 doesn't mean you can't have another one running native ISA. -

@SuperDicq @Relected Nah, the bottom would be spending 8,000 bucks in a POWER9 motherboard with fully free and auditable firmware, and daily driving on a VM emulating a free implementation of amd64.

@mangeurdenuage Not only Lenovo laptops will refuse to boot anything other than Winblows (in practice, most laptops do because of shitty secure boot implementations), the EFI implementation on new Lenovo laptops is so trash and so broken that even with secure boot disabled, it's impossible to properly install GNULinux.
An acquaintance of mine had issues with an Ideapad (2022) while trying to install Debian unstable, the installer would obviously boot in EFI mode but for some reason refuse to create a GPT partition table and install the EFI bootloader properly, it tried to install always as MBR, while being booted in UEFI mode.
After several days i recommended two possible workarounds, Debian bootstrapping which requires some Linux literacy or installing on the SSD on a live environment using virt-manager to create a VM, then installing through the VM which has a proper EFI implementation and everything would work as intended. He finally got it installed with virt-manager but this is ridiculous.
tldr: Lenovo Ideapad EFI on laptops is broken and it's impossible to install Linux on it through normal means. -

@colinsmatt11 @teknomunk @Red_Hat @alex The funniest thing is that if you read the article, this isn't even an Adobe issue, they sent an email warning to customers that their (Adobe's) proprietary paid royalties for third party technologies used in old versions of Adobe software suite expired and those could face lawsuits by the third parties that own these technologies. It's a cancer inside another cancer, like a matroska of nonfree software legal bullshit.

@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty
Did you read it? Can you find that license you agreed to back in the day anywhere online nowadays?
Several parts of Winblows EULA for example are legally invalid in Europe and Australia cause they go against consumer laws of those regions. You can bet Adobe EULAs are the same deal, but if you live in US it wouldn't be that far fetched that Adobe would try to file a lawsuit on some known creator over this shit, whether they would win in court or not is another thing though.
