When you look at the way windows handles i18n, it’s fair to say it caters to the US market.

MacOS at 20% globally does seem to be extremely high. I would have expected something like 15 at most.

At the time, I needed a system able to handle editing a couple hundred pages document without issues. Windows with word couldn’t do it, Linux managed it gracefully despite not even being at 1.0 (and it also handled the network much, much better).

I’ve been using it ever since.

For historical reasons, I’ve had a /space partition for several machines now. It’s used for large media archives, buffering towards other servers (which only grab stuff every now and then), cold storage and the like.

Admitting that works, then you’ve only got windows. You still have to install all the tools and productivity software. On any distribution, all that stuff gets installed as a matter of fact, and you’re basically done after 20 minutes or so.

“Most of your files are still there.”

Probably.

Even DOS used files for printers.

Screen must have been written by someone who wasn’t familiar with the shell. It’s the only logical explanation.

Teams? You mean Copilot Remote Friends?

Lol. Typical Gnome fuckery. What a bunch of fuckwits.

I stopped using it 20 or 25 years ago because of stuff like this, and they keep doing it, release after release. I’ve no idea why users put up with it.

Woah, what about your uptime? Gotta pump up those numbers!

It used to be so much worse. The ms docs used to be very spotty, sometimes plain wrong. Apparently now they’re a bit of a mess but they’re way more complete and, mostly to the point. Luckily I moved away from their stuff ages ago so I don’t have to deal with it anymore.

Common misconception, they actually specialise in chradars.

I used to like Gnome before 1.1. It was a while ago though.

It was a bit like the Green Card of Canonical. An Earth Shattering Kaboom, that nobody but the nerds noticed.

Started with Slackware, basically when Slackware came out. Now either OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or Fedora because I can’t be arsed to meddle with my machine for days to make it work. I just want to use it, not tweak it.

And yet we’re still using that file system…

Remember when FAT came out?

Yes, whip me harder daddy.

Windows 3.1 (or word 2, really) for me. One of the very few things I got right.
