What kind of weed helps concentration? The kind I’ve had makes me lose interest in my own sentences halfway through.

Are the “Windows evangelists” in the room with us right now? Every Windows admin I know hates Microsoft with a burning rage. Literally the only people I’ve ever seen promote Windows are being paid to do it.

Counterintuitively, that’s one reason I like dealing with Windows: the community knows what it is and doesn’t pretend otherwise, like some other more “zealous” fan bases.

Don’t they understand what’s happening?

No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.

Same. Loaded Ubuntu on an under-specced (for Windows) Dell laptop a couple years ago. No niche OS, no obscure hardware. Out of the box, wifi won’t stay connected for more than a few minutes. Literally no other device on the network (Android, Windows, Roku, etc) has wifi issues. Load Windows back on, it works fine.

Linux is never going to take off until basic functionality works reliably. I’m not asking for the moon, here.

Can’t tell if this is satire or just more deluded, out of touch wishful thinking. Don’t get me wrong: I would LOVE to see Microsoft dethroned. But Windows would have to become literally unusable before we see a mass migration to Linux.
