A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sorry, it's just you know how this has to go. "But komrade, surely you know many Unix and GNULinux operating systems are free"? and there's probably although not guaranteed to be a distro that suits your needs and has analogs for Windows apps. If you're opinionated about it, that's fine, but on first blush, it's confusing. Bring your own hardware and it's free, right?
lol- yup. It’s free in the same way that building your own house is free. Which is true if you already have the skills and free time. And even if you’re light on skills there’s tons of YouTube videos and forums where you can get any technical data you need. Right?
