That reminds me of a distro I used (don't remember which one) that automatically applied a Christmas theme on grub every December. It was really cute, with a tux wearing a red hat (pun not intended) and walking around.

Do your firewall rules allow you to block your tv's telemetry, while allowing you to still use the internet on it? If so, would you mind sharing how you did it?

Congrats, and welcome to the linux community!

People around here are delusional a lot of times, but to say that windows has too much of a monopoly to lose market, is too much of an exaggeration. Microsoft has been taking unpopular decisions, newer windows versions have been facing more and more resistance, macos has been growing and taking a share of the market, some governments and smaller businesses have been trying linux as a way to cut expenses, linux usability have been improving a lot, android devices have been taking more steps into taking functionalities from desktop systems and improving usability with keyboard and mouse, a lot of computers that do simple processing have been replaced by sbcs, like raspberry pis, etc.

Windows isn't too big to fail, and it's not impossible that we're close to see it starting to fall. Now, on what os would become the bigger player, that's another story.

Fun fact: My elderly mother uses linux, and without my help. Also, she never used the terminal.

That's the kind of thing we get when we hit the diminishing returns of innovation in some areas, but our economical system pushes companies into constantly innovating to stay afloat.

On the other hand, landfills leak contaminants to the soil and water, produce a lot of methane, and probably other things too. I'd also argue that they give a illusion of a problem solved, and lead people and companies into not wanting to reduce trash production.

That person on the blue beach chair got brutally ravaged by some creature, or was the sacrifice in a dark ritual

One thing is to explore different ways to do things, like many projects do, but ubuntu goes further and FORCES people to use their experiments, as if they're some sort of testing ground, not as if they're the most used family of linux distros and the one a lot of people rely on.

Edit: Sorry if my tone was excessive, I think I'm getting grumpy with age.
