It’s sad how you recognize that Apple tactics to artificially keep their users captive is working for you.
I would rather suffer an inconvenience than recognizing I’m captive of a company.
I too prefer big distros, but niche distros are usually big distros with small tweaks in the default config or installed packages. It’s Debian/Fedora/Arch slightly tweaked.
Windows have always been trash. Windows 9x were the worse.
Windows NT was better, Windows XP was trash at release then got better with updates (the service packs).
Windows Vista was a shitshow, then 7 was better. Windows 8 was horrible, the 10 was a bit better.
Windows always oscillates between trash and acceptable. There is not much to “ruin” to be honest.
Most places deploy to Linux, and for those knowing Linux helps a lot. Also a lot of places will give MacBook pro, expect you to know the CLI so a lot of Linux knowledge will be useful there.
Don’t forget the Ubuntu restaurant.
Just be careful with the silverware, they can Snap if you’re too rough.
Participating in the network doesn’t compromise your privacy.
I really enjoyed the diversity of WM/DE back then, and the innovation when new ones like Enlightenment were released!
A new midrange is better than a 3 years old flagship, if only for the software updates.
Plus you still have your old phone to resell or hand down to a family member.
Journalists want clicks, and they get more by talking about “leaks”.
If a game doesn’t run on Linux I can’t even try it. No risk of it becoming my favorite game!
XBOX must have 100% of games available on Playstation. Otherwise nobody will ever switch.
No matter how they package it, running a binary downloaded from Internet has the same attack surface
There is no emergency that can’t be handled by the adults of the school.
I can understand needing a phone for the commute, but at school it should stay in the bag turned off.
I don’t hate Windows, I don’t care about it. I don’t use it.
I have to say, as a Linux fan in the 90’s it was very cool to see Linux eating the whole server space, replacing older Unix while Microsoft tried desperately to grow Windows on the server market.
Unfortunately boring distributions don’t get recommended because users of boring distributions don’t bother commenting on distribution discussions.
And it’s really unfortunate that obscure distributions have more vocal fans, because boring distributions are much better for beginners.
Don’t try zsh, because you won’t be able to go back to bash after that 😉
If I have a new PC with a blank hard drive, what should be the install order?
Windows, then rEFInd, then Linux?
