I can't believe no one mentioned he's also the voice of Paarthurnax, from Skyrim. It's hard to believe the same guy does both voices.

If the rest of their equipment is a poor quality as their computer stuff, I'm not surprised they're having problems.

sometimes better frame-rates

One thing I've noticed is that open-world type games (that have to load a lot of data before they render anything) load noticeably faster on Linux - sometimes twice as fast.

the overwhelming majority of which if left alone will outgrow this by the time of adulthood

This is one of at least four comments where you've made this statement. How about a citation? Most of the trans people I know say they knew they were the born the wrong gender by the time they were five, and they will definitely not be changing back.

That's exactly why we're running Oracle Linux: we're running it on a single server where we're running Oracle's DBMS. On the other hand:

That didn't happen, for me. Maybe I'm not that smart, but I couldn't get the DBMS working on RHEL, so I tried OEL, and it installed with no problems. Did Oracle make that happen deliberately? Almost certainly, but there are compatibility issues.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Totally agreed, but I can't help but wonder if this senator had trouble because he's a Democrat.

Seriously - just stop. You're embarrassing yourself. Linux has all the apps you want. The reason people won't use them is because Linux isn't exactly like Windows.

Some time ago, at my office, we got tired of getting raked over the coals with the price of Office, so we tried to roll out OpenOffice. Our employees nearly revolted. Was it because OpenOffice was missing some functionality they needed for their jobs? Nope. After asking quite a few employees to show us what the problem was, it turned out it was because the menus were different. Seriously. They were looking for the functionality they needed, and it was just in a different place. I think maybe five people in the entire company (of about 250) were actually missing something they needed. We finally had to give it up.

Personally, I think we gave in too easily; we still have employees who insist they can't do their jobs without WordPerfect. (And that's what we let them use.)

...we're still having mass shootings on an almost daily basis, I can tell you it's not working. Give me my data back you sons of bitches.

Of course, I'm sure this only exists to prevent crime against rich people, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Can't say I'm surprised. One of my wife's best friends died of lung cancer a few years ago. The weird thing is that it was the same type of cancer smokers get, and she'd never touched tobacco in her life, and I'm pretty sure neither of her parents smoked.

I came here to say "I just go to Google and type 'my_city weather' and I don't even have to hit enter to get the temperature", but yours is better.

Linux keeps doing dumb shit like making nslookup and traceroute "legacy" applications now. Ifconfig has gone away and been replaced with "ip" which does exactly the same thing but with a slightly different syntax.

Agreed. And I wouldn't even care, if the BSDs were doing the same thing, but they aren't. It's like Linux programmers are going out of their way to be incompatible.

Add me to the list of people who was using it for a router at my company. Unfortunately, I discovered OpenBSD uses up a lot of CPU for networking. I changed it to FreeBSD and the CPU usage decreased by quite a bit.

3. Compared from OSX/Windows installing new software or drivers on Linux is something of a nightmare if you are not already aquainted with the process or it's not in the distro package manaer. Even Linus himself has stated this is desktop Linux biggest drawback. Watch most normies eyes glaze over with the words compile from source or figure out which package manager you need for your distro.

Again with this BS. Are you guys ever going to give this a break? It hasn't been difficult to install drivers on Linux for at least 15 years. Why? Because the drivers are all included. No searching the Internet for the most recent drivers, no trying to find a disk you haven't seen in two years. The drivers are just there.

Yes I can have a dozen people explain here how it's easy, etc etc, but it's not

I don't know why anyone would be explaining installing a driver to you; there's nothing to it. You plug in a device and it works. Simple as that.

For software, it's even easier, especially in a corporate environment - no paperwork to fill out, no approval process. You just go to the software installation tool, choose the software you need and install it.

Umm... The whole reason most people use Windows is because they believe it can be run by morons.
