an attempt at an answer:

more linux users = more linux software (and I know this doesn't mean better linux software)

Or at least attention from the bigger actors e.g., Adobe, Autodesk etc. to make their industry standards available for Linux users

Leaves me wondering if she’s not a closet pedo.

Anyone promoting or supporting child pregnancy are either a pedophile or a pedophile supporter

edit: added "or supporting" after "promoting"

The only problem with this plan is that Valve have massive issues when it comes to counting to 3.

Windows 11 by techognito in c/[email protected]

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

The almost exact same thing happened to a friend of mine using Windows 11. The machine booted, but he was unable to log in.

Also windows 10 updates has twice deleted all my files, I am now no longer on windows.

Every safeguard like this should have a "I understand, I am not an idiot" button. Especially when deleting a bunch of records in a database.

Now where did I leave those backups...
