There are a lot of Linux users that don't hang out in the same bars as you. It's just like being gay, not everyone is out there and active in the community.

What in the world are people thinking? I'm not sure letting people have money is a good idea anymore.

Globalization happened. You can't rewind the clock and pretend it didn't. The situation we operate under now is different than what we had in the mid-20th century.

When a cop asks you what time it is, simply respond: "I do not answer questions and I invoke my to remain silent."

Oh dear, I might find myself in a bit of trouble then.

Soon all games will be recycled AI stuff. Get used to it...

If only I had to do it once. But no, most updates (especially dist-upgrades) have me do that all over again time after time.

Also, the fact that I gave only one example doesn't necessarily mean there is only one. I could talk about having to troubleshoot grub in busybox because an update borked the config. I can imagine my father in front of the busybox shell all day long. He'll just buy another computer.

ok I get what you are saying, but your common use is most certainly not anywhere near "average" common usage.

Just try to configure a 4.0 surround sound setup. On windows it's just a couple of clicks. On Ubuntu it's at least a couple of ChatGPT questions involving a new software to install and obscure settings to define.

No, it's nowhere as complete and polished from a personal computer peripheral point of view.

That said, printing on my epson network printer required no download whatsoever, so I guess YMMV

If your computer id idling, they will find a way to fill that void. Trust them.

As much as I love Linux (I have been using it exclusively for the past 20+ years), I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t very computer-savvy. It requires a fair amount of maintenance. Graphics performance has improved dramatically, but it’s still miles behind macOS and Windows. It’s just not for the masses.

Ok, I'll bite. What on the desktop justify to use *any* memory? Tiny widgets that display the latest rss feed from msnbc ?

If the server logged a decent amount of data, then this is potentially a useful ad hoc experiment.

Maybe remove tariffs and have more good paying jobs, then Americans will be excited about buying a new phone, new laptop, and new car.

Anything article that isn't about AI is at least holding back the horde.
