  1. Perhaps they just had spare time and thought they could finally try Linux like they were planning since quite some time.

  2.  @onehaxxor8574  I wouldn't get obsessed with that view. Let's say 99% (or whatever number use cat to concatenate on file with an empty list of other files 😉

  3. I just built a list of Ansible roles that install everything including config changes. In a playbook I chose the roles to install. This way I easily get rid of things that I installed previously and then don't use anymore after a while. This works for distribution packages, packages from additional repositories, and apps built from source, ...

  4. I also think you're seeing it to rigidly. Just put the stuff in a list so you don't forget. Use some time every day to reconsider priorities - that's more about reflecting than constraining what you need to do in what order. https://youtu.be/zUqEJpHmWvU (the first 3 minutes)

  5. That would kill the entire industry. Nobody would invest a single cent into the software industry if it weren't for the outlook to reach some monopoly at least in some tiny market fragment. Why should the software industry not have the right to exist like any other industry. As long as you take money in exchange for any kind of work or service you provide, you are not in a position to make such a request.

  6. Open/free software is not flawed, commercial software is also not flawed. Only the people are flawed - all of them/us.

  8. I got the impression Windows development was dropped after the Vista debacle. There was some UI tweaking here and there (mostly inconsistent) and some security bug fixes but otherwise it looks dead to me. Despite the lack of overall progress every time when Windows installs updates (which is with 100% accuracy always exactly when I have to complete urgent work) it always appears to reinstall the whole OS like something notable had changed. I think Windows is just kept alive to run legacy applications and making some easy bucks. MS now focuses entirely on the cloud.

  9. Not if it's NixOS

  10. The funny thing is, MS license restricts you in what you are allowed to do with Windows, and lack of functionality in Windows prevents you from anything else :D The only thing left is installing updates.

  11. Windows is more an OSS (Out of Operation System) than an OS. MacOS and Linux are so much better. The only reason to use Win are some applications that require Win.
