    I love that Linux exists, but I really don’t appreciate the bullshit PR speak about how regular users can switch from Windows with little-to-no friction. The second something doesn’t work as expected, even a minor thing, they’ll be at a complete loss about how to even investigate the issue, let alone correct it. Windows competency doesn’t transfer to Linux for even the most basic under-the-hood stuff. The less honest you are about that, the fewer people will try Linux a second time, and the more people will write off the entire endeavour as being the domain of computer experts/enthusiasts.


  • It’s nice of them to list their qualifications and the subject in which they earned a Nobel Prize. It makes it so much easier to Trumpistan to disregard them as “mainstream” and part of the commie woke academy.

    If Trump or any of his lackeys respected the opinions of experts or the power of education, this letter would not need to have been written in the first place, because RFK would have been catapulted over the wall of the nearest insane asylum the second he opened his mouth. And besides, since when has Trump ever changed his views or his plans because smart people have told him not to go through with whatever dangerous bullshit it happens to be? His own team is unable to rein him most of the time, and he chose those people.
