I sincerely hope this type of comment isn't going to become commonplace in the future. Especially when it's someone's hobby project or labour of love.

No-one is stopping you from using netstat.

Yeah, I'd absolutely agree here. The article didn't "miss" this option. It just isn't relevant here.

No project needs to justify its existence. I'm wondering why people would use it.

Same feeling here. Realistically, what is this distro doing that couldn't just be done with a quick bash script on whatever the current 'new user distro' is? The wording is weird too : "Comes with Lutris preinstalled!&qu

This is true of any electrical system, no?

Also the variations are often not just cosmetic things like colour. Sometimes they are entirely different products.

I echo this sentiment. Whilst I completely understand that developers are doing this in their own time and largely for no other reason than it being a labour of love, it would really help lower the barrier to entry. Oftentimes when the tool

Same here. Tends to be pretty inconsistent. DNS-over-HTTP(s) definitely disabled. 30s is a lot more than I've experienced, but there are times where it clearly struggles to look things up.

A switch requires a physical and tangible thing to be produced. A touchscreen button is done in software and costs nothing extra to produce. You already know this I'm sure.

Is it beyond to you seek out that information before commenting?

You're thinking about this as if the average Joe is interested in this. They're not. The tech folk salivating in this discussion are a rounding error when it comes to computing. The vast majority has no need for this.

On the rare occasions I watch TV, I'm incredulous at the adverts for technology that create these almost utopian looking lifestyles. I think to myself "who is taken in by this?". As it turns out, these are the people who are

It has worked for many of us. Every use-case is different.

This is an extremely common type of comment on articles like this. The commenter has to ensure everyone knows their credentials before offering any sort of praise to the creator. I also despise this type of self-serving comment.

Pretty sure they protect the will of the majority, whoever they may be. That's my take anyway.

No, but the question bears discussion. Many of us have high powered GPUs in our machines that sit idle during audio production. Could they be leveraged? Not just for reverb.

But they've sold millions so that sort of squashes that argument. (I'm with you though. It boggles my mind.)

I'm sure there's a fancy name for the fallacy you're presenting here but there are more than two choices. The third choice is stop building in such a way that these wide and fast roads are needed.

It's fairly typical, this. The world and his wife hears 'VPN' through the myriad of advertising vectors they're bombarded with and assume the advertised use case is the only use case. The 'P' in VPN is what con

It is certainly strange when you find out that other people have different tastes and viewpoints to you.

It's fine to question it, but when questioning something millions of people do every day, year in year out, you might want to find a different hill to die on. See also : Time format, waste disposal units etc.

I've set up a ton of virtual appliances that way. It's just a regular ZIP file with the config and vmdk(s).

Time-lapsed audio? That sounds messy.

I've been on this planet for 44 years now and I'm sure this is the first time I've ever seen anyone abbreviate "who are".

I download said content and share it on a public torrent site. Your move, dilippkumar.

Loved BeOS, and love HaikuOS. But a "daily driver" it is most certainly not. Don't be fooled.

This is an odd headline. Progress is largely constant, and every day is the best time to game on Linux

Do you know why it's harder to work with? My untrained brain would have assumed it was easier, what with it being more malleable.

It's possible that them being on the lot and not out with customers might also tell a story.
