It goes to show that people are complex, and contain multitudes. Cherrypicking isn't a bad thing. The older I get, the harder I find it to get along with strangers, because I'll have some point of contention with them. :/

I can't speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(

Linux has had a long history of worms and viruses, fortunately (sorta) thanks to its server legacy. Dumb and lazy server admins have given it pretty good 'secure by default' behaviours and cultures.

Desktop users though: whole different set of challenges.

Aluminum cans are great but still use a plastic lining, so I'm not sure overall whether it comes out better. You still get microplastics.

Having supported windows professionally for many years... I have had trouble with windows wifi. Oh lawd have I. Linux is easier.

Linux is a worthy opponent. Windows is a toddler with a Glock.

Since we got municipal compost, completely dry and nonstinky garbage. Super nice.

Haven't had trouble with wifi on Linux in like 12 years.

Bluetooth on the other hand...

These things should absolutely scream on Linux. Looking forward to playing with it. Windows hasn't historically done all that well with non-x86 chipsets out of the gate.

This was 2001 at a shoestring dialup ISP that also did consulting and had a couple small software products. So no.

Plugged a serial cable into a UPS that was not expecting RS232. Took down the entire server room. Beyoop.
