It only takes one application to force you back to using Windows. e.g. HellDivers 2 didn't work well until recently on Linux. If you are playing certain factions it is a very fast paced game and I would frequently experience slow downs

I agree, with a caveat. The vast number of consumers don't even know Linux/BSD or any the alternatives exist. I have zero faith in a Linux smartphone. What will happen is that there will be some GNU/FSF thing with specs that

Of course. However if a developer isn't using Windows typically they are using a Mac. In corpo-world. Everyone is using Windows. If they are using Linux it would be through a VM or WSL. I guarantee none of those people are using Linux

It really isn't. This is a temporary sugar rush that comes after pretty much every time Microsoft does something awful. After a while the buzz will fizz out and the majority of those PC gamers that looked to switching go back to Window

Bank apps work fine (at least UK ones) on Graphene OS installed via the play store.

If you like using VSCode and are productive in it, keep on using it. The big advantage of vim/neovim is that you can do everything in the keyboard and it can be very efficient. It is also lightweight. However the learning curve is mass

It got nothing to do with someone being a developer and having tunnel vision. In fact I would argue that many people that work in tech would be the most likely to sold on such a feature. It has everything to do with being frugal and whether

I got their monitors from the "before" they bunged smart into everything. 2 x 4K from 2016/2017. These things refuse to die and the picture is still good. Unfortunately all of my relatives love their phones.

I've been driving in January on a warm (at least in the sun) sunny day and as I went over the top of a large valley and down the other size been hit with heavy snow, same with Fog. You can't even really look at weather reports eit

I've hydroplaned on the motorway many times. It is a big scary but as long as you don't touch the brakes and continue straight you are ok. I've driven FWD cars in heavy snow and it isn't that bad. You just have to go hal

Exactly it is about layers. It is the same with computer security. Is my network "unhackable" no. But I've put up enough layers of basic security that script kiddies and the like won't be able to get in.

Security is about layers. If I have a basic lock, all I want to do is stop an opportunist. I have a vehicle that is extremely simple to steal (you can unlock everything with a screwdriver), to protect it I use both a pedal lock, a secret se
