Maybe I just don't remember how exactly Ace looks in game anymore and the fanart has tome unique take the Nerf company took? I just see Ace of Spades more or less how I remember so that might be why I'm confused

How can they claim the design is theirs when they based the drawing on design by Bungie?

Axe is cooler than hammer as well.

I'm sure fines are under "other expenses" in their financials...

In the grand scheme of things the pyramids were built relatively recently, but I'd still consider it quite long ago

They don't relly know better. Windows is familiar, Linux sounds too complicated and techy. Hell, I was thinking the same and I'm reasonably tech savvy. It's infinitely more friendly than I'd ever expect.

People are afraid of change and unknown. Though ironically Linux might actually be closer to the original Windows experience that Win11 is (speaking from my limited experience with Mint)

You are correct, but on the other hand it doesn't hurt to make the average person aware of alternatives.

Can be especially effective when the person buys a new PC and needs to do all the stuff you mention anyway. Yes, it is still a new OS, but honestly, it's not that different - especially if the person remembers older Windows versions, it might just feel like going to familiar places (I know this is something my wife would really apreciate as she hates the constant changes of how things look). Obviously depends on distro, only have experience with Mint.

I'm saying this from a position of a resonably tech savvy, but not your average tech nerd (at least knowledge wise lol). Sure there are differences under hood but I don't think the average user would really notice them that much.

I think that was the joke

They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that's when ads start.

If you are from EU, you might try envoking the GDPR maybe? Though most make it incredibly difficult afaik

I use light mode on work PC - that way my mind makes clear distinction between work and free time screen time.

No other reason to ever go back to light mode on anything. Much easier on the eyes.

Very inconvenient for a PC login. Also, you need a password you can remember for your password manager at least
