I love this thread.

Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.

Windows may have it's problems, but I don't need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn't matter. It just works.

Ubuntu is the best bet for a distro to just work well out of the box.

Granted I have still had a fuck ton of issues, errors, etc, but Ubuntu is the only distro that has worked the best out of the box. Fedora was a broken mess, and Mint was in between.

So if you want anyone to not give up on Linux, direct them towards Ubuntu first. You can always switch distros later, but spending 3 days trying to fix issues on a different distro isn't fun.

The CEO of the company behind Ark has to be smoking crack. Nothing they do makes sense.

Don't forget they paid who knows how much to get Vin Diesel in Ark 2. Like that's exactly what we all wanted. Very good use of money.

I didn't get butt hurt. I simply stated why I have Bluetooth on, and the devices I use require it, and knowing that information you told me it was a security concern.

Ok? And am I just supposed to sell my devices? Do you want me to turn my Bluetooth off so my device become useless? I don't understand the point of your comment.

Hey guys, eating can cause you to choke, it's a health concern. Better stop eating.

I want to keep it, otherwise all of my everyday devices become paperweights. Thanks.

If you're not implying that, then your reply was pointless.

I didn't know what to do. I was being threatened with a ban, even after explaining myself and my edits.

At the end of the day the Wikipedia page didn't matter to me that much. Who cares if people get misinformation about an OS update. I quite literally didn't get paid enough to deal with that.

It just really changed my perspective on Wikipedia. Unless you look at the history and check out profiles of people who get in edit battles, you really don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

At the end of the day the Wikipedia page I was trying to edit ended up being corrected by someone else (who completely disregarded all of my effort), but it took a month, and someone else to do it, before the page wasn't full of misinformation anymore. RIP to anyone who visited that page within that month and never returned, because they were fed 80% misinformation.

That's the problem, there isn't even enough for everyone to have one. There are no left overs.

This is why pretty much everyone I know at 25-32 years old, now live at home with their parents. Not only is it unaffordable thanks to landlords profiting off them, but there aren't enough to even go around.

Ok, well I'm not going to stop using my fitness band or Android auto because I'm a paranoid person. Might as well never leave your home and never use any devices connected to the internet.
