I guess we'll have to find a use for that new key on Linux, and Linux laptop vendors will end up with some alternative symbol for it...

You can still buy a cheap basic keyboard, or a decent Logitech at a reasonable price. You can totally ignore the "niche custom keyboard" market. Most people don't even know it exists.

What's annoying is that laptop will now come with that stupid key.

Some countries don't have roundabouts

It uses the Linux kernel but the user space is so different that is has nothing in common with a regular Linux distribution.

Also it strongly depends on Google proprietary apps (and Play Store, Play Services...).

Yes you can have a de-Googled Android, but it's still very different from a typical Linux install.

Nice, at this pace we'll reach 50% in less than 50 years!

He did ask them to make the rocket pointy so it looks like the rocket in Sacha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator".

And they complied.

Europe is large and diverse, what country are you talking about?

All cell phones connected to a Japanese network received a notification regardless of their carrier, brand or what apps they installed.

This is already way better than whatever reach X provides.

This is still a problem when there is not enough charging spots for peak days.

In France most people go to summer vacation at the same time, and on those days when all the charging spots are taken and you have to wait 20 minutes for one of the owner to finish his break it's a real problem.

You can, it's up to the software vendor to make it simple.

Most of the software are FOSS and can be installed directly from your package manager. That works like the iOS app store/Android Play Store except it existed 10 years before mobile stores.

Google Chrome is an example of proprietary software (so not in distributions repos) that is as easy to install on Linux than Windows. Because Google managed to get a deb that will also update your repos.

Bottom line, most of the time it's way easier to install software on Linux than Windows (as easy as on iOS) but occasionally it's slightly more complex.

People are not equal with sleep.

Some people don't need as much sleep as others.

Also it is very annoying when people say "I wish X was usable but it's not".

That's dismissing something while at the same time posing as a supporter of the product you're dismissing... Pretty much closing yourself to any response.
