That was always my issue with them, like, I want to like their offerings but they always feel several years behind

Out of curiosity, what do you recommend? Last time I went looking the options sucked (though part of that was we still had a landline and that seriously limits your choices)

At no point has Microsoft gotten me to regret my decision to install Mint

Make necessary infrastructure municipal utilities... Water, gas, electric, telephone, Internet... If you need it to participate in society, it shouldn't have a profit motive attached, period.

Every few months I check to see if anyone's built fiber to my area or if I'm still stuck with the choice between shit tier cable marketed as 1.2gbit (but rarely even gets halfway there, often below a tenth of that), something else that's barely better than what we had twenty years ago, and wireless claiming to be 5G but performs like crap for everyone I know who's tried it

I've only been looking for the last dozen or so years...

So damned sick of the bureaucratic bullshit

Yeah, but who wants their car to look like a Tesla? ;)

I don't think anyone is suggesting otherwise, but continuing to say that as a reason not to work towards that goal makes no sense

Hell, I could just bolt a laptop to the dash if I really wanted that

Why buy a Hyundai with 300 mile range? Because it's available today. And if I'm concerned enough about missing out on upcoming tech, Hyundai/Kia have good lease terms that give you the option of buying out or trading up at the end if the tech improves that much by then.

But yeah, I'm still annoyed with them championing hydrogen that hard when it was super easy to see how limited it would be compared to BEV for general purpose commuting, and how much easier the infrastructure would be to start up (a small amount of BEV infra will easily support a small amount of BEVs, but a small amount of hydrogen infra will support basically nothing at all since you can't refill at home)

I really liked Cinnamon but switched mainly because I kept having occasional video problems that didn't seem to affect KDE... But, that might have been the lack of a proper video driver, I've not tried switching back since fixing that

At this point, I've found enough with KDE that I like having in my workflow that I've been reluctant to try switching back

Some of those with anti cheat even work, I've been playing Helldivers 2 with no issue

Last I heard, Destiny 2 could be running fine, their anti cheat supports Linux, but Bungie still bans people for trying

Oh, there's an upgrader? I've been looking for upgrade instructions since it was first announced released but all I've found is them saying they'll put out instructions next week
