I mean, some things are just fine when they are the cheapest?

Your hardware has to have support for Linux, not the other way around.

Windows is not a serious OS anymore.

Musk has been using x.com since the Mac OS 8 days.

He’d easily have prior rights.

Yeah, Reddit was like that about a decade or more ago.

The current level of bot activity there is actually insane.

Windows has always been good at making the non-experienced feel comfortable and taking advantage of them.

Spent hours playing this on some demo disk.

Violent crime isn’t the only crime that results in violence either.

Road deaths and injuries are way up and prosecution for killing someone with a car is constantly excused and dismissed even as people get more negligent (screen use) and risky behind the wheel.

Carls Jr Microsoft Windows. Fuck you, I’m eating!

Bread is cheaper than beef.

IDK how much beef is in a McDonalds burger these days, but still.

“Kewl Terminal Emulator”

Does Alpine Linux count as “running”?

SystemD just isn’t necessary for every Linux install.

Linux has thousands of uses that aren’t “running on bare metal on my customized gaming rig at my computer desk to play steam games and pretend to look like Mr. Robot”

Everything in America except building trades has transitioned to metric already.

Even our imperial units are defined in metric.

But… PLEASE don’t tell our citizens. It will all be fine as long as we don’t tell them!

That Evil Wizards name?

Siatama.

They have a for-profit subsidiary, for tax purposes.

On-demand (or surge) power generation like this is much different then base power generation like you get from solar, wind or nuclear (or theoretically fusion).

Long story short, any functional power grid needs both because generation has to match demand, and demand is uneven and wonky.

The most common surge power source is small natural gas plants. This is a replacement for those.

It presumes there will be extra electricity.

There’s always extra electricity. Eg. Solar generates power during the day, charges this “battery” and then powers lighting at night when demand is higher and people need to be able to see.

Macbook? Chromebook?

Honestly, anything is better than Windows. But don’t switch to Linux unless you are actually interested in Linux.

Longtime Linux user, here…

Yes, but it’s almost certainly a multitude less electricity than bitcoin.

You haven’t lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.
