You could have done that, but here we are.

What exactly is “improper use”?

Android is Linux. Not all Linux systems are Android, but all Android systems are Linux.
It’s not necessarily helpful to those on desktop Linux, but it is Linux if someone wants to be a purist about which operating systems run on their hardware.
Seems a little round-about. But if you want, I guess you could do that for some reason.
In general:
- I would rather not wait. This mostly benefits everyone: user gets to see what is coming, developer gets feedback, and depending on software maybe user can start getting the benefits sooner
- on the other hand, it has some risks: maybe devs spend time fixing problems instead of bigger “building the system” tasks. Maybe users get attached to the “pre-release way of doing things” even if the final release is better. (Early access game mods can be very vulnerable to this)
Complete vs simple software, it depends on what the job is. Some complexity is fine, and some bugs are fine, as long as there is a plan to get to where you want the software to be.

I’ll give a serious response to the first half of your comment though: you asked where the “3-day special military operation” idea came from, and I gave some reasonable answers.
While indeed Putin himself was not recorded saying these words specifically, it is obvious that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was anticipated to be quick and easy. Three years later and that’s clearly proven laughably false.
Oh sorry I missed that I was speaking to a Russian propagandist, never mind. Carry on. I should have been clued in by the use of “Banderite”
I’ve seen loads of people say this but never any proof of anyone in the Russian government saying anything of the sort. Would you happen to have any to hand?
There’s a few along those lines.
- 3 days, and official: a report of victory from state-run media about the conquest of Ukraine, released on 26 feb 2022 (and then quickly removed): https://www.newsweek.com/state-run-russian-news-site-accidentally-declares-ukraines-defeat-1683455
- not Russia but Russian ally Lukashenko: https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816
- not 3 days but a massive underestimate from Putin: https://time.com/3259699/putin-boast-kiev-2-weeks/
as we all know history started in 2022.
Maybe you’re right: possibly 2014 is a more apt date:
Or could be 1994 is better: Budapest Memorandum: prohibited Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, “except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations”. As a result of the memorandum and other agreements, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.
Surely you cannot be going back to 1933 and the Holodomor??
You know who started this
war3-day special military operation, right?
early 70s.
So… “the ’70s” like OP said.
This might fall under “less work than a demo” but far too many games that do have a demo, the devs don’t bother keeping it up to date.
As someone who uses Windows for work and Linux for pleasure: SMB, UNC paths, and ubiquitous network sharing. Being able to “cd \\server\c$” and expect that to work with 99% of programs made in the last two decades, is pretty great.
“Hardcode a few pre-selected paths and their credentials in /etc/fstab” just doesn’t cut it. Neither does autofs.
