Oh no worries. I misunderstood you.

Oh. OP suggested blocking the wheels and you said why wouldn’t you.

I guess you meant why wouldn’t you to him talking to his neighbors. To that I agree. I miss the days where neighbors all knew each other and regularly talked.

People don’t like being told they’re wrong. Especially on their own stuff. Kind suggestions to a neighbor will go better than just unsolicited blocking their trailer. Imagine them hitching up within hours of this picture being taken, start to drive off and then damage their trailer coming off makeshift blocks that you so graciously put there without their consent.

Sure bud. I can tell most people here like to huddle around their favorite apps browsing lemmy and have strong opinions on things that honestly have no bearings on them.

This isn’t affecting you. 9/10 that trailer isn’t going anywhere.

You suppose they’ll be thankful for pointing out they’re incompetent at blocking their trailer?

A kind suggestion would go miles

So dramatic. People don’t like being told they’re doing something wrong. You can suggest but yes. Their stuff their mistakes.

I feel attacked lol my reason was literally COD. That and I haven’t had the capacity to dive into running Linux yet…

Is it because Microsoft is the big dog with money and Linux is no dog because there is no company backing Linux? Windows sells solely because Windows can push the product?

Would it be benificial (albeit this will be extremely frowned upon by this community I believe) for a Linux distro to be backed and monetized via a corporation with a legal team to help push a Linux product on the shelves? In the short run it’s a bad idea, but in the long run it’ll familiarize the public, and push software developers for compatability. The incentive being that there’s money now involved and it won’t be a project for people.

Because right now to use Linux for the majority of user case operations you’d need at least computer science 101 to start installing a distro, partitions, manual software installation, to get running. Or am I wrong on this part?

That’s really cool I didn’t know that was an option already. How does Ubuntu and windows compare for operating system support if I have a problem with the laptop? Is the manufacturer liable for the smooth running of the operating system? Or is the owner of the operating system liable?

So if you did open a computer shop and are selling this plethora of Linux options, doesn’t that leave you liable if there are issues with the operating system?

If I buy a laptop and my windows is running poorly don’t I have windows support taking care of my windows problems?

If I buy a laptop from you with mint installed and am having problems I can’t contact Linux for support, I’ll have to contact you the shop owner.

Won’t this liability discourage shop owners from selling laptops/desktops with Linux?

Call me naive, I know I am. But how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop? I know phones run Linux, and many other products like streaming pucks run Linux (or is called unix?), but what would it take for an operating linux system to be centralized into a package to toss into a lenova laptop you’re staring at in best buy?

Is that Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant?

OK I want to look into doing it myself. Where would I start with the resources?

My only reason I wanted to tie to grid is to get in on the NEM that my local energy company offers. A 1 to 1 net metering. I live in Seattle and getting that energy back in the winter is worth it for me

Mam that is tempting. I’m an electrician but I never dove into photovoltaics.
