Most of the hobbyists I speak to that have failed linux desktop experiences mostly switch back to windows due to:

  1. Hardware compatibility issues.
  2. Microsoft office interoperability limitations of the web based office.
  3. Display scaling issues on multi-monitor setups and some linux applications.

Personally for me the list is:

  1. Bluetooth not being detected on my particular asus laptop. (The same bluetooth chip works in other laptops)
  2. Multi-monitor scaling and resolution issues when 3 external monitors are connected via thunderbolt doc.
  3. Lack of good alternatives to fancyzones

That's because you are sending your Fucks to the wrong key. You are missing the /feedback folder under system

Yes, I recall at the time experts saying it was a terrible mistake and Elon saying Machine learning will bridge the gap.

The real reason was to increase margins.

Because a laptop waking from sleep while in a bag is a fire hazard.

Waterfox is one option. its UK based. I find it a little faster than librefox out of the. I use the container tabs extensively for my IT work juggling dozens of customer login details and profiles.

Agree, he is not taking a principled stance. He is playing the "I am being oppressed because of my race" card, despite his extensive privilege.

One correction, it's not the state that officially takes ownership, it's politically connected private individuals who get the ownership. The public gets zero benefit.

I agree with you that he is being a racist asshole about it. He is emphasizing the race part of the legislation over the bribe part of it, because that is more politically useful to him.

It does not make the legislation less problematic. The ANC is begging the world to invest in the country, but not because that is what the country needs, but because it feeds the state mandated corruption.

Both parties are in the wrong here.

You will be happy to know that the word for "shit" in afrikaans is "kak", so the term is particularly accurate.
