well, no, not really. Just regular web usage and occasional gaming on Steam…

As an Indian person, you definitely also know that Indian officials are highly corrupted! It’s something world-famous (or infamous?)

If the state does not protect them, they may as well become the state.

I think you seem to have a particular dislike for a type of post. Just a wild guess

Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.

Also MacOS is popular because its users don’t have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, “it just works” anyone?

It maybe better to not refer new users as newbies. People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS. Why is MacOS successful? Because it is easy to use and is a complete products with few bugs. I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.

Google has a monopoly on search, Youtube has a monopoly on videos and that helps aggregating interesting contents and users towards the product. Social media platforms thrive on user growth. I had Linux as a daily driver also (until it badly messed up my ssd), but customer support and friendliness are definitely limited parts about Linux that scare people away.

Of course I don’t want Threads. I’m just saying the user is being bombarded with information at the first step, which is bad product design.

Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.
