I can understand the anger and frustration, but hope that in time you will reflect on this post and see things differently.

Why would a noderunner choose 4 (both implementations)?
If you care about bitcoin (not just NGO) and run your own node I would suggest to get informed on this debate. Bitcoin is not magically awesome it is defined is these types or debates/wars and the drama is part of that.
If Google goes through with the changes to Android,
F-Droid will end for all stock android users, and their app store/repos be only for the Degoogled OS folks.

“Forcing software creators into a centralized registration scheme in order to publish and distribute their works is as egregious as forcing writers and artists to register with a central authority in order to be able to distribute their creative works.”

I do have a question. What is your view on an OP_RETURN relay limit default of datacarriersize=46 in Knots bitcoin.conf and also Ocean? That would support privacy transactions while still blocking spam and inscriptions by default.
Obviously there is a much bigger debate going on, so perhaps this is seen as low priority. But it could increase support for Knots over Core from the supporters of privacy transactions.

You could also check out Void, Antix or Alpine if you’re looking for a Linux distro without systemd. But nostr:nprofile1qqs0eac2gh86s9l24qfmnw52xawhz0f3d862yleaetpafygjmanaxlspz4mhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2un9d3shjtnrdaksz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2as5ruqph makes a good point, why not try out one of the BSDs? They are a class apart, and one of the flavours is likely to fit your use case (server, desktop, firewall, toaster…)
Any suggestions for Europeans looking to switch?
We used to compile stuff. Kernel, apps. To get the soundcard in our laptop working we had to recompile the kernel with specific flags. But then again that was some 25 years ago ;-) Linux has gotten so much better, and usable also for non-techies.

Zo nee, kan de minister bewijzen dat dat niet kan?

Geestig met deze minister president 😄🍿
