Indeed - and if the QWERTY keyboard was good enough in 1874, then there's absolutely no reason to question its usage today! :roll: A keyboard is still the most efficient way to enter text. Sure, the layout could be changed, but that's a funny path dependency here so that it won't, even after the or...

The best hope going forward is that the desktop steadily diminishes in importance Which it won't because the decreasing relative importance is due to the growth of smartphones and tablets - but these are devices for consuming content, not creating. the keyboard becomes obsolete and the concept of t...

Sorry but that's not more of a "technical support" than any random linux user forum. As first hand experience in end user support (i.e. not counting my own machines), I can state that I stopped doing any kind of Windows support in my near family because Windows has become too much of a hassle. I of...

Well what can I tell beside it has zero relevance to reality.

Just as your attempt at trolling, which is as poor as usually (edit: i.e. when you troll, not always). Case dismissed.

This is even easier to be done on Windows. And I've never seen a problem on a modern Windows that can't be recovered in a matter of half an hour by even half decently experienced win admin. Versus five minutes under Linux without experienced admin. You know there is a thing on Windows called fast r...

If I would need to compile engines myself (and do research when the build script doesn't work out of the box), it would take even more time to create the gauntlet lists. Come on. I remember a new user here, Pi4Chess, who was initially asking for Raspi ARM Linux binaries, and who said he wasn't a pr...

This is the core of the issue: I'd like to move the computer I'm using right now to an OS like Linux Mint Solid choice if you want an LTS distro and a conventional desktop with no weird "revolutionary desktop experience". I've installed Mint 20.1 Cinnamon on several computers, also for non-IT end u...

So your answer would be to reduce productivity and annoy your employees just because you think you know better what is good for them??? Of course. Strategic decisions such as breaking out of a vendor lock-in and also getting rid of a spyware OS (think GDPR) is a lot more important for government en...

Even though I don't use Linux on the desktop or laptop at this point (but I basically use it everywhere else...), I do pick all of my hardware carefully; I've been doing so with the last two desktops and laptops, in case I _do_ switch at some point for whatever reason. I did the same with my previo...

In many fields, the best, or even only applications, _are_ Windows applications. Of course e.g. Photoshop is superior to Gimp - but Gimp is good enough for non-professional use. Just like LibreOffice. And Thunderbird. There, you're mistaken. There are many people who do run Photoshop, LightRoom, MS...
