I run Fedora 31, KDE spin and a desktop with a Skylake i7-6700 (over 4 years old) processor with 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Of course, I do have an SSD for my system disk which improves performance dramatically and IMHO for anyone building their own desktop this is essential. When running multiple windows and including watching a video (eg. YouTube or even VLC) my load average may go to about 6% (doing this now as a test) although if I run applications like Handbreak the load can jump to over 60% with core temperatures of about 70 deg C and about 90% CPU utilisation.

I should note that I have an LG 31.5" HDR 4K monitor and my load is still around 6% even with a 4K display output. I should also note that I running multiple browser (Chrome) tabs (5 currently).

I did try Windows 10 in a virtual machine when it first came out and I did not like the way it was contacting machines in other countries although those machines were owned by Microsoft. Of course I have not used Windows 10 since then.

There seems to be a version of Skyrim running on just about everything now. I am waiting for the "toaster" version. :-)

In the case of corporations, it is essential to have a documented, testable disaster recovery plan that will work under all possible scenarios. Of course the more complex a disaster recovery plan the more it will cost so you have to weigh the pros and cons, but at the top of the list of any plan should be backups and testable recoveries.

Basically any OS can be compromised, especially if you log in as a system administrator. Linux, Unix and even MS-Windows allow the user to log in as a "normal" user (i.e. one without any system admin privileges) although many people will log in (especially with MS-Windows) as a user with privileges which can be catastrophic if they get "conned" into instaling malware.

Linux and Unix are fairly safe against malware which is aimed against MS-Widows users although it must be remembered that no operating system is 100% safe. It is always a good idea no matter the OS used to have a documented disaster recovery plan with the first step being to regularly backup your system and to test your recovery methods (most users, especially those using MS-Windows don't do this).

In a corporate environment, it is especially lax to the point of being criminal not to have a documented and testable disaster recovery plan.

As for a home environment, it should go without saying that a regular backup, especially of all user data, is essential. If you have a Linux distribution you could get away with not backing up your operating system especially if it is on a separate disk (I use an SSD for this). Of course, this does not absolve you from documenting all relevant applications that you install on your OS.

In my case, it takes approximately 15 minutes to install the OS (Fedora 31 KDE spin) from first principles (essential in the case of malware) and about 20 minutes to install all relevant applications. Sure it is possible to back up the operating system (I would do this in a corporate environment to keep them CEO's happy) but in the case of malware, a first principle recovery is usually the safest and surprisingly quick to do.

It must be noted that if you need to recover user data the process can take many hours depending on the amount of data that needs to be recovered.

The PS3 and PS4 controllers have motion control and that translates to over 200 million dual shock controllers even if you assume that no one brought a second controller. Of course, not many games are developed that make use of motion control but the feature is there if the developer wants to use it. Actually, with the PS4 some menus in the system and in some games give you the option of using motion control to rapidly select data.

The dual shock 4 has a touchpad which is actually used in many games whether it is just for the button or in some cases as a multi-touch device.

Now you have done it. Flame On! :-)

Personally I don't have any issue with "systemd" and in the majority of cases, it is unobtrusive unless you are one of those people who wants to fiddle with everything. From an enterprise perspective, you as the system admin may have to change some recommended systemd parameter(s) (e.g."Oracle") but normally you don't have to worry about it.

It is not just Christian Apologists it is all religious Apologists of different faiths.

It is always fascinating to watch religious Apologists cherry-pick, deflect, gish gallop, tapdance and generally lie just to prove in their mind or for their faith's believers rather than accept demonstratable facts. Hmm, a bit like some politicians you see and hear in the news, sure, the actual words may be different but the basics are all there, with the main ones being "deflect" (whataboutism), "tapdance" (spin) and "lie".

Linux users do have a choice and if people are interested, the following discusses 33 web browsers so we could add one more to the mix. Still to be fair if you have been a Microsoft OS user it would make it so much easier to transition to a Linux distro if you could have applications that you are familiar with such as MS Office, Edge Browser and third party products such as Photoshop, just to name a few.

Of course, a person who is a dedicated Microsoft ecosystem user would have a difficult, if not impossible time transitioning to a Linux distribution and having to relearn equivalent applications such a using LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office and The Gimp instead of Photoshop. Yes, they are plenty of Linux equivalents to Microsoft and Third-party applications but many won't want to make the switch so having a Microsoft application running natively on a Linux distribution can ease the transition and in some respects, Microsoft actually wins as well since they would still be selling their products.

If you have to use systemctlc to perform a reboot or halt a system you are doing it wrong. What happened to the "reboot" or "shutdown -r" commands or just pushing the "reset button"? Of course, when working on enterprize systems you do have to follow documented procedures such as getting permission to perform updates and if appropriate, such as a new kernel, a reboot.

The element "sulfur" has low toxicity to humans however the compounds of sulfur can be extremely toxic. The result of burning a high sulfur fuel normally results in high yields of "sulfur dioxide" which when added to water results in "sulfurous acid" . Of course, if you think "sulfurous acid" is ok for life then allow me to mix up a batch for you.

Maybe you should learn some basic chemistry. Sulfur dioxide plus water (ie. Sea Water) results in sulfurous acid . Of course, sulfurous acid is not a bad a sulphuric acid (see "Car batteries") but it does leed to the acidification of the world's oceans and seas which is pretty bad.
