Stalingrad cost more Soviet dead than the US lost in all its wars, but they refused to lose. Commies or not, they had balls.

Well, in essence, it was Hitler's fault. The original plan was to take the Ural oil fields and the German machine was unstoppable it doing it - until Hitler decided on a detour to take Stalingrad on the way (he thought it would destroy the Russian hearts and resistance) ~ bad move.

If he didn't do the detour, I think the outcome of WWII would have been different.

Mind you, that doesn't take away what the people of Stalingrad did to resist and destroy the German eastern front.

AS I said on here before - if it wasn't for GCC (or the Gnu C compiler as it was then) written by RMS, then Linus couldn't have even started doing his stuff with linux.

RMS is the seed of *all* the free open source code/projects available now (and in the future). He is GOD and well done to him and his principles.

What you forget - or do not know - is the reason. MS code crashed a lot, so they needed a way to do a 'user' restart.

I think the only thing MS has done for Joe Public was that computers crash a lot, and it is normal. And it is still apparent today, as sheeple don't shrug an eyelid when things do not work.

I used to use on my laptop (4 years ago?) as everything used to work out of the box, but gradually they changed things and Gnome bloat got worse, and the file system layout got more confusing and basically it is now non-standard in the *nix way of things. I moved back to Slackware which I use on my desktops. 10 times better.
