I've been using it lately. If nothing else, it's absolutely gorgeous and performant.

Higher investment rate means when prices go down/a recession happens, people invest in new businesses which means a recovery happens quicker and is more robust. Just look at Canada's GDP per capita over time versus the US'.

Like many other things affecting western countries though, it's worse in Canada since we have lower investment rates, spend less on R&D, have an ultra-risk averse culture, extremely high costs, etc...

From everything I've read, ThinkPads (IBM/Red Hat devs seem to use them), Acers (have pretty standard parts, nothing funky), Dells and HPs (both have Linux dev laptops) all seem to run pretty well. The worst seem to be gaming lapt

Dunno, in the last 10 years I've had a ThinkPad T530 and an Acer Swift 3 (AMD), suspend has worked just fine on both (Ubuntu and Fedora). My girlfriend has a Dell running Windows she always manually turns off because suspend is flakey

Does Linux force you to use Firefox? Every distro I know has it by default. Yet the first thing I do on a new install is install Chrome... And of course everyone does the same on Windows. Only Edge has started to slightly change that tre

The way out is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That's it.

Their Linux will probably have a bunch of spyware in it so no one will care about it any more than North Korean or Chinese distros...

Seems like it's targeting the wrong crowd. Framework laptops would naturally appeal to the tinkerer and techie crowd, meanwhile ChromeOS is very much a casual user kind of OS. It makes sense to have $300 Acer laptops running ChromeOS

All your points completely miss the fact that Ukrainians want to be free from Russia. They're not a pawn to be passed between powers, they're a free country.

Ukraine has more than 300k because their survival is on the line and they mobilised en masse... Keep in mind Ukraine had 45 million people before the war versus Russia's 144 million. But Ukraine mobilized absolutely everyone they coul

Again though, Zelenskiy's government isn't the post-Maidan government. It's not 2014 any more...

You quoted something I said but seemed to miss the point. Maybe it was a coup, maybe not (leaning towards no as it was a pretty popular protest). But Zelenskiy ousted Poroshenko regardless and absolutely no one doubts that Zelenskiy was el

All the doublespeak is actually pretty amazing to witness... We're defending Russia but also "liberated" Kherson and Zaporizhzhia... The west is threatening us with nuclear weapons... The regime which came into power in 20

Sounds like he's bought into Russian propaganda... "If you don't live in Russia you don't know the whole story" No but there's enough Ukrainians in my life who don't appreciate their country being invaded

Armenians are both white and Christian. They just happen to stuck in a hard place (NATO needs Turkey and Turkey is intent on finishing their centuries-long genocide of Armenians through their proxy Azerbaijan).

Optimistic view: they value people who can get the job done and don't care too much about perfection, specific tools, etc... Cynical view: they're cheap and want you to do the job of 2 or more people.

> hundreds of years Yes hundreds of years of Ukraine being oppressed by Russia (also western powers at times)... Meanwhile when did Ukraine EVER attack Russia?

The Dalai Lama is believed to be the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama so he's not chosen, as per the beliefs of his own cult anyway.
