   “Ubuntu” is the largest and most popular distro. Saying it’s the worst one I could use is ridiculous. If your community’s biggest distro is “the worst one you can use” then that is actually a bigger problem than everything else.

   “You used the wrong distro” is literally the GO TO answer and to be honest I’m sick of hearing it. You get it from the Linux community no matter how major or popular a distro you use.

   My comment was about switching. I’m not going to throw out my whole perfectly good PC in order to switch, nor should I be expected to.

   I used my perfectly normal PC that has absolutely bog standard components that any decent OS should run on. I’m not about to throw my whole computer out just to switch.

   lol, “you used the wrong distro” was number 3 on my Linux response bingo card, right after “you did it wrong” and “your hardware is wrong”.

   So not painless then on perfectly normal PC builds. Got it.

   They literally look 95% the same. Most people looking at Tahoe probably barely notice anything has changed. Hell, it looks not that different from what it did 10 years+ ago. You’re massively overstating the change.

   My point is people will either stay on windows or switch to Mac. Switching to Linux will be rare for users whether they have money or not.

   I’ll be honest I really don’t understand the desperation to avoid it. It works fine, you barely ever have to interact with it or use it, you use a pin to log in, it’s not like you can’t log in if you’re offline or something, it’s just to ti

    If it were only about money, Linux would’ve taken over 20 years ago.

    I have, and I have no idea what you’re talking about. Macos looks sleek and professional, always has.

    I use workspaces AND minimise windows, not having it is maddening.

    Many of these comments are pretty funny. Only on HN would people think the public cares about avoiding having a MS account. Sure, many here may care, but I’m not silly enough to think most people do, or that this has any chance of “killing”

    I’d wait until they dip below 90% market share before I’d say it was “dying”

    Speak for yourself, I tried again to switch to Linux last year with standard Ubuntu and had multiple issues, the machine wouldn’t wake from sleep, would lock up with a grey graphics glitched login screen when locked, I tried to upgrade the

    Man, you just reminded me how unapproachable the Linux community is, I guess I’ll stay away from it a bit longer. I’ll come back if/when they mature.

    This feels like you’re metaphorically walking around with a hammer looking for a nail.

    I mean, arguably you don’t have ownership over anything without a legal right which is enforced by a government etc, and every item has exceptions. You think you own a house, but see how long that lasts if you stop paying land taxes. You on

    They probably meant coming here directly or often, not that hard to work that out.

    Also me having a different experience from you doesn’t make me any less critical or discerning or makes me have less taste. There’s no good way to phrase a thought that is fundamentally flawed.

    That article mentions basically that they’ve heard that some apps crash a bit but it’s anecdotal and not uncommon with beta/new upgrades before a patch or two (not uncommon), and that he personally dislikes or has trouble with some of

    I find it more distasteful that they weren’t transparent about their method than the method being AI.
