In short: air out regularly, even if it’s hot outside.

This is pretty awesome. Looking forward to it.
Ah. You pray at the altar of Google with the mantra: “It only works in Chrome or Edge. Why not upgrade your browser?”
What could possibly go wrong with giving all the power to one browser engine? If only there was a precedent to learn from…
To answer your question, I think Linux absolutely should target the mainstream, as it already does in some ways.
For example, by making Linux more accessible to the average user, the community grows, which will probably lead to more support, more software development, and so on.
It is true that not all users have the same level of computer skills. Especially for that reason Linux should become even easier and even more intuitive to use.
In short: the more people use it, the more support it will get.
That that exists exists in that that that that exists exists in.
What are we going to name it when it is found?
I trust we really don’t want “Planet Nine” (if we do, we should rename Earth to “Planet 3”), let alone “Planet X”. Any better ideas?
Computer, erase that entire personal log.
Global peace and security.
Why would anyone buy prepacked sandwiches anyway? They’re expensive and you obviously never know what you get.
What’s the issue with buying some bread and preparing some at home? Cheaper, healthier and really doesn’t cost much time at all. Plus, this doesn’t use as much plastic.
I answered a bit further down a bit lengthier. Hope that’s OK. 🙂
To be clear, I enjoy my Linux environment. But could I leave Linux on my parents’ devices who recently bought a new printer and use a facial recognition camera? I’d be worried…
Tbf, I work with Linux regularly and it’s great for me. But for the average user who wants basically zero learning curve like your average Android provides? Linux is a hard sell. To repeat what has been said so many times here:
Games. It’s better than it used to be, but Windows just does it better. The same goes for general software compatibility. Windows Store apps, for example, generally don’t run at all.
My surrounding never wants to open or see a command line. Ever.
Driver & hardware support. Windows still beats Linux here. And this is an important one.
Easy compatibility between distros. What works on one may not work on another. That’s a problem.
Like that.
Really, for someone willing to learn how their PC works, Linux is a good choice, maybe even a great choice. I love my Linux PCs. Am on OpenSuse at the moment and its been a fantastic experience. Couldn’t avoid some of the problems above, of course. But this isn’t about me.
For someone who just wants to click and install games, plug in random hardware and start using it a few seconds later, never touch an update interface and basically wants a system that just works intuitively because that’s what they’ve known for years… Windows is a better choice. And I say this with a sad heart, because I really wish that Linux was the competitor that Microsoft fears.
Edit: thanks for the reminder; I will likely install Windows 11 (the unsupported version as it were) for my immediate surrounding, apart from some techies. 😄
I really wish this would gain some traction. As it is, there is just not enough content there to compete with YouTube in any reasonable way.
Thank you. I feel like I’ve found a new way to respect developers that I hadn’t considered before.
Agreed.
Where do we place Archer?
The series any good?
there are limits
I am glad you have a moral centre.
But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: “*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs.”
Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.
Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.
Nothing will wake us up - move us to make large scale changes - while greed and selfishness are a thing.
I am sure we won’t get out of this.
Edit: just read this and felt it fits here. Cost of going green sparks backlash from Europe’s voters
What’s the problem with just producing the necessary quality and being honest? Is that too expensive, making the lie more profitable?
Also, we won’t stop using fossil fuels. Not anytime soon, not early enough to stop the disaster ahead.
