I didn't mention Windows because I don't remember any serious workstations using it. PCs did become good enough but it still wasn't the professional workstation level. Though if we're talking about computing in general, Windows has been the king ever since 95 or even 3.0.

Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?

Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it's not their competitor at all.

Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It's always been private.

Way to go, Smith!

The "right to preserve fertility" is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I'd say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it's a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don't have.

I think it's because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it's basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

 

I think it's just nice to be able to verify a file with a right click instead of opening the terminal and typing the *sum command. Yes, it is technically bloat, but also good for time saving.
