I have had a paper map direct me through a gated community. Thankfully the tools in the truck unfastened the hinges. Still bugs me. It was a county road!

Same. Same. I know some people use their phones, or GPS devices, but when I'm backpacking, I want a paper map and a compass. I bought two a few months back for planning a trips this summer.

Oh! Don't forget they also funded the Islamic State by buying stolen antiquities. Some of these were even looted from the Iraqi State Museum.

The lack of advertising is a big one, that's for sure. And Dell isn't spending any of their advertisement budget to brag about Linux.

Maybe that's what canonical should spend it's money on rather than snaps :-) (half joking...maybe )

On the one hand, I think you are right, people who know can find a Linux computer if they know where to look. And they should be easier to find. On the other hand, I don't think many people by laptops at Best Buy any more. Maybe if BestBuy had one people would try it and see, but I feel like best buy is the place you go to buy a TV or a charging chord for your phone.

You can go to the Dell website today and filter by Operating System and select Ubuntu. Through Project Sputnik, Dell has been selling laptops with Ubuntu for over a decade. It's a pretty interesting story, but I couldn't find a summary of it online easily.

HP sold he DevOne, it had PopOS on it. Dell sells an XPS developer machine that has Ubuntu pre installed. System76, Entroware, and Tuxedo computers have all been selling Linux hardware for a long time. So there are viable commercial options. I wish the DevOne were going to get refreshed, it looks like a nice machine but alas, I don't think it will.

This album, An Oath to the Void is fucking amazing! I really like it. This is awesome, and I'm still a sucker for those long intros. Bring 'em back I say! This is definitely going into the cart for the next bandcamp friday.

Any chance you will re-release any physical media? (and I am eagerly looking forward to any new music!)
