    And I get totally different results. It not just the distro. It the version of the Kernel, the version of proton, whether you are using X or Wayland etc. Etc. Etc. The very point I…

    If I admit to anything less than doing a gamer nexus style benchmarking suite you will just claim it is an anecdote. I have actually tested on a number of different distros and dis…

    The complexity is hidden. I don't require all the gumph. I just gave bash and a Debian install. Pretending the rube goldberg machine isn't one because you've hidden it behind a fac…

    These sort of derivative distros seem to be aimed at Windows 11 Refugees. I am not a fan of these derivative distros and I would always recommend using one of the mainline distros …

    That just isn't true. While it is very good now, it is not faster and more stable than Windows. I have performance issues on Linux that just don't happen on Windows.

    I confused Jae-woo (a Korean name) with Jaecoo. I think I must have mis-spelled the name when googling them after seeing the Dealership near me. However I do remember Daewoo, I don…

    I mixed these brands up. Thanks for the correction. They (Jaecoo) opened a dealership 20 minutes from where I am.

    It isn't just Chinese EVs there are Korean brands on the road e.g. Jaewoo. https://jaecoo.co.uk/ I'm in the UK and the only new Fords I see are these huge F250/F350 which make my 4…

    But almost anyone who lives in the UK would know who you were referring to. So you are just using a euphemism, which is arguably worse.
