If someone posted a story called "Driving on Water", and it was all about how you could modify your car to get it to drive on a lake... sure, it's interesting... but it would certainly be worth pointing out that boats exist, and that boats are perhaps much easier at doing what you're trying to do, which is transportation on water. Maybe there's some reason the original posters aren't using boats, and they can share that information. We don't know until we start communicating about it.

- peterwwillis 7y agoI don't think we're trying to debate as much as point out problems unique to some OSes, and how we wish it were different. I would very much like to use Linux as a desktop, if setting it up weren't a garbage fire. It doesn't have to be this way.
