because a fucking depressing amount of computers are still running old windows versions for compatibility reasons, and it would be really nice if we could eventually replace it with something that isn’t a leaking sieve in terms of security.
lobotimizing operating systems
i mean, you’ll be able to write things in that language, which i’d say is somewhat useful 🤔
It’s kinda like asking “is it worth doing long hikes before training to do 5km runs?”, you probably don’t need to go on hikes in order to start running, but it’s less intimidating and if you then realize you’re just not into running then you’re still left with a useful skill.

Personally i think a GOOD trackpoint (one that isn’t miserably stiff, and is well-calibrated) plus a touchscreen is perfection for something like a laptop. The trackpoint lets you do most things without taking your hands off the keyboard, and the touchscreen is a touchpad but… Borderline objectively superior in every way.
Like… There’s a reason phones have touchscreens, the idea of using a phone with a touchpad is insane.
assuming we’re not talking about sparkling water, which some people call mineral water: Is it really that common outside of america for tap water to not taste fine?

i don’t think it’s out there to say that flatpaks can be a bit fucky wucky, but yeah it’s not some massive issue, they just need to make packaging harder to fuck up
