Also, don’t forget there’s Chrome OS

No, please forget Chrome OS. Also, I’d hesitate to call it “Linux” at this point

This just like how companies use Pinkertons to suppression unionization at double the cost it would be to just pay their employees a fair wage

Tbf, there’s a lot of people that don’t find babies cute

Yes

But plenty aren’t!

Just a pet peeve of myself and probably plenty of other Linux users/fans. This phrasing makes it sound like there’s way more incompatible games than there are.

https://www.protondb.com/

Out of the top 1000 games on Steam only 21 don’t work on Linux. I personally wouldn’t call that “plenty”. And for most of those games, the devs actively chose to make the game incompatible with Linux and Proton.

I get that the games you want to play aren’t compatible, and that makes you not willing to use Linux. That’s good and valid, and I have nothing against that. It’s just annoying when people (usually accidentally) exaggerate game compatibility issues on Linux.

There’s something to be said about the fact that I’m not super comfortable with doing everything with commands and am used to GUIs

I’d like to add that this is somewhat outdated information. While there are some distros where you still need the CLI a lot (mainly server distros), many of the mainstream distros have enough GUI support that 99% of users don’t need to touch the CLI. I switched to Nobara a few weeks ago and I haven’t needed to use the CLI yet.

It’s not the world’s smoothest transition.

Another thing to note is that the transition doesn’t have to be a hard break. Many people dip their toes into Linux by dual booting. That being said, there’s some pitfalls, namely not keeping Windows and Linux on the same drive, since Windows has a habit of deleting the bootloaders of other OS’s during updates.

But, as I said earlier, it’s fine if you want to stay on Windows. I just want to clarify some misunderstandings you seem to have about Linux

Reddit is now popping up banners that take up literally half the page if you’re browsing a thread. Half of the value of Reddit is that you can find answers to a lot of questions on there via Googling, and they’re now killing that

Does he also think number generators are the words of God and is working to build his own OS from scratch?

Don’t forget XMPP

As someone who uses Excel on a daily basis: Excel is a bloated, unstable, bug-ridden pile of crap

Skywind is getting close to release. Skyblivion too

Sounds like an anti-trust case waiting to happen

CachyOS is Arch. It has some kernel optimizations for gaming, but other than that it’s just prepackaged Arch

Firefox needs to add tab groups on mobile first

Not my problem. Go look up how it works on chromium browsers before talking shit

Why would I want that on mobile? Not enough screen real estate to matter.

Easily the second dumbest take I’ve read all day. Congratulations.

Also, I’ll believe they’re working on it when it releases. They’ve been stringing people along on that for several years now, and made the stupid decision to build it for desktop first, where it’s not needed because windows are a thing

Firefox doesn’t have tab groups on mobile
