Your guess is as good as mine. Let's just hope that they didn't also see any copies of The Limits to Growth as well. It was a scientific report published in 1972 by a think-tank. Using computer models developed at MIT, the authors warned that continuing on business-as-usual population and consumption growth trajectories would likely lead to societal collapse within the next 100 years.
I don't know about you but I'm excited!

Here we go...
Sid berret is the musical version of Salvador Dali.
I get that too.
Here's a recent example. I've got Kelly installed on a VM and I want to use a Wi-Fi adapter with it. It's a special Wi-Fi adapter that has great reception and some pretty good features. Works well with Linux... Once you go through 20 odd steps to get it installed. It does work.
PITA. I knew what I was getting into, the online docs we not terrible.
On the host machine... Dah-ding... Wifi. Fucking done.
What's needed is a driver deployment infrastructure similar to what Windows has, to remove the pain.
I have three Linux boxes. Four if you count the VM. I do truly enjoy the OS when it works. The main reason I stick with windows is because if something breaks with it I can consistently fix it very quickly. It feels like everything with Linux is just an extra 10 or 15 steps that I'd rather not be taking.
On a side note, I have definitely noticed that Windows 11 has some performance issues. It's no joke.
Wow. You're really committed!
People just won't be willing to use an OS that requires hours just to get connected to a network, or that won't display at full resolution because of some driver issue. Seems like a basic QOL issue to me.
Linux is not really designed for Windows users. Windows is.
Also, Windows blows.
I use Linux for old laptops, windows for new ones, for that reason.
This is the biggest problem with Linux IMO. If drivers could be universally fixed on Linux to be as easy as or easier than windows and Mac then the competition would have no chance. I can deal with other issues., I can deal with weird glitches, but if I can't even use my devices that's kind of a non-starter.
It's not that I can't figure out drivers, it's just I don't want to spend 5 hours on it.
Fair disclosure, I have been traumatized by NDIS wrappers
I wish I could find the source but I do remember seeing an article about it. Maybe it's a broken memory.
IIRC, it was Vizio brand TVs that had not yet been connected to a network and they were already showing ads implying that they had in fact been shipped with ads in their cache, or perhaps having been connected to a network for testing
Hahahah. You're correct! Perhaps she will always be Diana to me!
