The only thing Android shares with Linux desktop/server Linux is the kernel, the entire rest of the OS built on top of it is completely different so it’s a pointless comparison. While it uses the Linux kernel, it’s not…
This is guaranteed just to be windows reinstalling drivers it thinks the laptop needs by default for basica functionality (it is considering the Lenovo service a standard system driver like the Intel ones since…
That’s absolutely not a normal or expected experience whatever. A standard, normal Linux install (not any weird experimental stuff like trying to install stuff to ntfs drives or running super arcane or unusual setups),…
Nothing about intertia means it’s ever “too late”, just that there’s a lag between a change (positive or negative) and its effect. People said the exact same thing about Linux ever taking off on the desktop, but slowly…
This is definitely a Mac-apologia to the extreme argument. Microsoft isn’t event the one that came up with the layout, it was the IBM compatible PC keyboard layout that was specifically designed as a keyboard standard…
Eh, no. My experience working in web accessibility, it seems most visually impaired individuals have a preference for windows, seemingly because it has the most mature set of accessibility/screen reader tools around…
Gotta be something hardware specific to you like the other guy said cause I literally just did a fresh fedora install on a 4K display a few months ago with zero issues, and majority of people I know also use 4K displays…

That’s not a KDE issue though, blame the themes

Hasn’t been true for years now as a 10+ year mac and windows user

This isn't accurate. Only ~30% of Fedora contributions come from Red Hatters, they specifically changed the council structure so much more appointments can be selected by the community rather than Red Hat: "Historical…

Value of work definitely is a major part of it depending on priorities, but also everything else you said. It’s not a black and white thing as some make out, all revolving around one element.
> (and borderline divorced from understanding how business works) This describes 90+% of HN posters these days, to be fair. You’re absolutely completely right in your argument.
They cut off contact for a separate reason - 2000 (IIRC) supermicro boards which did have issues.
Basic internet and computer hygiene makes it incredibly easy, even inherent, in avoidng spyware/adware/malware and crappy software. Now some people who don’t do that might find nuking it all to be easier than trying to…
