Yes, as a Gen X I'm sometimes surprised how tech illiterate some of my generation are...

Then I remember when we were kids and people like me using computers were seen as weird geeks and "normal people" wouldn't get close to a computer.

If I have a new PC with a blank hard drive, what should be the install order?

Windows, then rEFInd, then Linux?

It's legal in US but not in most other countries

It's sad how you recognize that Apple tactics to artificially keep their users captive is working for you.

I would rather suffer an inconvenience than recognizing I'm captive of a company.

Honestly, Google back in the day was a great company. They were focused on putting the best product for consumer, supported open standards, kept ads at a minimum... A bit like Valve today. They really were "good guys".

Then I'm not sure what happened, they stopped caring and left the MBAs in charge maybe.

vscode without any extension is very performant.

It's easy to get better performance when you don't have features.

They make the contrast smaller because they don't go over the bump. Also they can integrate it more seemlessly than this sharp 90 degrees angle.

Yes Mozilla is a good example. They're run like any other Silicon Valley company and spend more in C-suite develop their damn product.

Too bad he spent all his energy getting Linux users to say GNU/Linux instead of talking about the real issues

I too prefer big distros, but niche distros are usually big distros with small tweaks in the default config or installed packages. It's Debian/Fedora/Arch slightly tweaked.
