    There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding your question from users. If I understand it correctly, you’re wondering about when the human species became less of hunter-gatherers and more socially adept animals and when and why societal progress started suppressing aggressive behaviours in tribe-based expansion and control.

    You referencing “protohuman traits” makes it a bit harder however since protohumans are before our own species of homo sapiens but I could imagine that a lot of those traits are closely related to early homo sapien society.

    I don’t have a lot of answers for you but I think the answer maybe lies in sociological studies and things like Social Contract theory. Maybe it’s that slowly people got more rights to not be hurt by others because they could bring value to society as a whole in other ways and with the invention of agriculture, things like jobs became more viable and governments formed with laws then religion came along and what not too heavily influencing rights and wrongs.

    I’ve always found the installation process of Debian unintuitive for people not used to linux. But I could imagine that it’s probably abreally good contender once the packages are installed and the DE setup with any necessary extensions for file browsers and other programs, for example preview of files in Nautilus for GNOME. Unsure if that is automatically installed or not in Debian but could be a good idea to check.

    I’d suggest trying a test install in a VM if you can to check how well Debian will hold after configuration. Package updates for my Debian servers happens every once or so week and with a DEs GUI package manager it could simplify the process of the user actually hitting the update button.

    It’s an interesting topic me and my friends have discussed for a long time. On one hand, putting ease of use and user experience behind a paywall is terrible but on the other developers deserve compensation. Not everyone can donate and others doesn’t even figure that it’s an option.

    Pangolin I think does it very kindly by having a button on the lower left of the interface that you can click on and then also dismiss to hide that button for a week which I find a good common ground. But at the same time I also think it’s hard to justify hate towards projects that lock things behind a paywall.

    Of course if you lock security features like OIDC/LDAP like some do or self-hosting to “Local Infrastructure” it’s pure BS. I think there’s a lot of nuance to what should and shouldn’t be done in the matter but as long as it’s still open source it’s good in my book. Like self hosting Bitwarden gives you access to the paid features or you can pay them the small fee to not self host it and get some extra QoL features.

    People do in the end have to juggle software maintenance, community maintenance, organizing issues, planning features and implementations, keeping wiki and docs up to date, etc. On top of, I’m assuming in most cases, having to do a regular job too. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do that at all so if they can get some motivation through either code contribution or monetarily it would potentially ease up things.
