    I don't think that is the general problem. More so inconstancy. It's almost harder to quit vi then to delete your boot record. I am not sure many tools are even that powerful. Whic…

    I don't find that annoyance particularly grave or different from other annoyances. I just updated and rebooted my Windows machine I haven't used for a month, took maybe 5 seconds l…

    I think you are being unfairly downvoted. On of the major downsides to Linux is that while you can, and often have to, tinker to make it work you can break it on many levels. Somet…

    Few of those fields have professional software available for Linux i.e. what is actually used in the industry. It's the students, engineers and artists that are invested enough to …

    > That doesn't necessarily mean Windows offers a significant value proposition over Linux either. But as far as I know that is this case. That Microsoft's offering is much stronger…

    I don't see how that is a specific problem. All operating systems have annoyances. But if you are for example an engineer you won't find a competitive range of software on Linux. F…

    I don't see how inertia would be the reason if you also believe that it has been good enough for 15 years. I would say desktop Linux simply doesn't offer enough unique value for th…

    I think it is more if they will encourage any use outside of the control of Google. Or if they, like with Android where they illegally obstructed companies from doing so, will even…

    Then we disagree. Linux works until is doesn't, which is the problem. It isn't a handful of programs so much as a wide range of capabilities. We can all speculate the taste of the …

    Why? As far as I am concerned these are all legacy problems. Drivers mostly work, people are aware of Linux and it can be e.g. run off an external drive. The problem is desktop Lin…

    So your opinion is that it's ready?

    Despite the wording I don't think that is the original definition? The idea is to make Linux viable as a desktop operating system, and whatever comes with that. Not running Linux a…

    I don't see it making much of a difference for developer OS experience though? Unless you are specifically developing for example a Linux distribution.

    Colonialism tends to imply a shift of influence. A government bending to the will of foreign companies to keep their power. This is more foreign companies bending to the will of th…

    There are at least charging stations for buses. For example: https://www.oppcharge.org/ https://www.heliox.nl/ What I would really like to see are small self-driving battery powere…

    My opinion is largely in line with "bilbo0s". What I would emphasis is that I don't object to your solution as such. It is that if you are having mental problems your mind is by de…

    I don't see how that is a pragmatic view. Rather the idea that you can fix something with personal responsibility, true introspection and growth to find true happiness is quite dis…

    Square corners seems likely to be less space efficient, which is one consideration of pcb design. Why we don't use round corners or fluid traces might be a better question.

    It isn't technically hard. What is hard is making it a priority. Many countries have exchanged long term competitiveness for short term gains. Decommodifying housing would impact t…

    I do think smart phones affect people. However what people don't ask when the speculate about the young is whether you are better off otherwise. It isn't really a smart phone, coll…
