  • My reply was more about special use cases not being a good excuse that Linux isn’t ready. You’re right, most stuff people can easily do on a tablet or a phone, and that same stuff works just as well on a Linux machine. So someone that wants to do that stuff, but wants a machine more powerful than a tablet, can run Linux without issues.


  • I mostly just game and browse the Internet and my daily driver is Linux. I have not come across anything that I needed Windows for so far, in a year and a half of not using Linux. There may be some games I was vaguely interested in that don’t run easily on Linux, but day to day tasks, 3d printing/slicing software, basic image editing software, browsers, coding IDEs, all work native on Linux.

    Sure, if there is a specific software that you really want to use, maybe that specific software isn’t available on Linux. But one individual running into multiple things that only run on Windows sounds like it is a fairly specific use case. At best, someone might need to use an alternative program. At worst, maybe that person needs to keep a windows environment around. But that doesn’t seem like the case for the majority of people.



  • They are saying it is more general than money or information, that those are power but those specifically are not special. If we had a society without money, something else would occupy the same purpose of the psychological need of humans “to get more” to be on top.

    They aren’t saying “money isn’t important to that”, they are saying “money isn’t important to that”.

    You don’t know that the kid hasn’t already told the mom about the accident. It’s not like she can come pick the kid up, it was her car that was crashed. Relying on a parent and asking them for help in a time of need doesn’t mean the kid isn’t also going to take responsibility. But the parent saying that fishing is more important is absolutely ludicrous. Sure, maybe the dad is too far away to be able to help at the moment, but he said he’s too busy to even talk (yet not busy enough to prevent sending those texts).




  • I fully understand the issues with the logistics. I get that the delivery people are often held to unreasonable standards and forced to insane expectations of quotas.

    But, when there are 3 cars in the driveway, the lights are on in the house, and it’s the middle of the afternoon, it is absolutely the delivery person’s responsibility if they don’t even knock. They don’t even need to stick around more than 5 seconds, at least actually make the attempt.
