That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

I mean it can.

You’ll just have to go and download your data again from the public disclosure (assuming they disclose all of it)

It’s good they put it up front though. There can be a lot of entitlement with oss users sometimes and setting expectations can help alleviate that.

That wouldn’t necessarily be bash though

You’re missing the last step, throw out the windows drive.

I mean a paint spray gun is basically that…

And yes

These threads are always hilarious. People are not switching to any kind of desktop. They are moving away from PCs entirely. There is an entire population who only use a phone as their computer.

I know this might hurt to read but the average reddit user probably is someone who doesn’t know how email works.

That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution

Serving Wikipedia is a different order of magnitude vs building a web browser

Microsoft still make the surface pro

They (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.

It sucks.

If you look at it from an incentive view point you have to pay people more to Capitan a sinking ship.

Also worth noting is that market share may or may not be relevant. Android has a higher market share world wide compared to Apple, however Apple users generate more revenue.

All this to say that the op graph is at best an incomplete picture of things designed to rile up people who lack critical thinking.

The CEOs salary has almost zero affect on Firefox’s market share.

That decline can be explained relatively simply by two things.

One, people are increasing using mobile devices and very very rarely do they install another browser so they are using Chrome on Android and Safari on Apple devices.

Two, Google was/is using Google dot com to promote chrome. That is not something Mozilla could ever replicate.

Then there is the other bit where Mozilla tries to diversify their revenue sources and the faithful skewer them for it and tell them “just work on Firefox” when it is clear the market is unwilling to pay for a browser at all.

If you like KDE your night find endeavouros with KDE pretty good. It is an arch derivative so it is rolling release, if that is acceptable then I would say give it a try.

Endeavoros is approachable.

There is an ISO somewhere that sets out color blind colors for accessibility.

Hopefully you don’t live in the US where your insurance company can buy that data and use it to deny you coverage or raise your rates.

They already do it with cars why not CPAP machines.

Maybe check out Kagi’s ultimate tier. They let you swap between some of the different options to see which you might find useful. As a bonus you also get kagi search which can be useful.

Be the change you want to see!

Anyway those are probably the lowest effort content which is why you see it most. Over time though the other forms will come. Most of Reddits front-page is memes and news for the same reason.
