Good.

I hate this hacker crap.

But they are…

Once again, here’s one at $750.

Not pre-installed.

Here’s some great laptops with GNU/Linux pre-installed.

Here’s another company!

There are vendors supplying workforce laptops and miniPC’s running MintOS for less than $350 per unit, in bulk!

None of those links prove me wrong.

All of them prove your silly, bogus assertions wrong.

Try again.

Nah. Don’t have to.

That MacBook will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is completely useless, not to mention fucking highway robbery when you can buy a Windows laptop for half of that with better specs.

You said thousands of dollars. They’re not thousands. And yeah, you can get a cheaper machine. And put some flavor of GNU/Linux on that too!

LOL I’d love to see you prove me wrong. Go on ahead. It’s easy!

Highest market share ever, these days!

I don’t think you need a CS degree to run through this guide.

Here’s all the “techy people you know that might want to help you don’t know anything about Linux” coming together as a community to share what they know about the distro I linked to.

Stop being hyperbolic.

Pay thousands for a Mac computer that may not have the features you want, and never be able to upgrade or repair it, or

M1 Air costs USD $750 where I live.

Get a software engineering degree so you can figure out how to install, use and regularly debug Linux. Because even techy people you know that might want to help you don’t know anything about Linux.

Hyperbole to sell an easily disprovable false narrative. For what?

Calm down and eat your lunch, Helen.

I’ve been running Kubuntu for years now; it’s convenient to use for me for professional reasons, but I’ve never used to snap to get new software. I’ve never disabled the the service. Are there flavors of 'Buntu that are “unsnapped”, if you will? I know I should just search for it, but I thought I’d just ask.

Safety words are ignored as a matter of policy.

I will die on this hill. Their down votes mean nothing to me. I’ve seen what makes them cheer.

Very simple.

Shitty products and bad/greedy/sociopathic management kill companies. And guess what? They’re shitty companies. They should die.

There’s vermin furries here?

Gross.

As a deep neural network specialist, yes, to both.

Cushioned

100 is the average, implying half the population is lower than that

At the risk of pedantry, if 100 is the average (the mean), we’re saying “most people are at 100”. If it were the median, then we’re implying “100 is the middle score of those sampled”. A subtle, but important difference.

For all the infallible saints and self-righteous pontificators in the comment section, it’s okay to want Tesla to be successful and and make better cars, and also not want Elon Musk in charge of it.

Yes that’s true, but I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the claim that the US government destroyed Nord Stream to force the EU to buy LNG from US companies.

What other evidence can you produce to verify your claim that the US government destroyed that pipeline?

They’re literally the only major economy

You don’t need the “literally”.

offer nothing to help Ukraine or Europe.

Bullshit. You could have performed a simple search about your claims before posting that.

European Defense

Ukraine Defense

The Joe Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed about $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute. (This figure does not include all war-related U.S. spending, such as aid to allies.) The historic sums are helping a broad set of Ukrainian people and institutions, including refugees, law enforcement, and independent radio broadcasters, though most of the aid has been military-related. Dozens of other countries, including most members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), are also providing large aid packages to Ukraine.

My country’s government is guilty of a lot of terrible things, but don’t make things up, like every other shit-heel on the internet these days.

The US government had nothing to gain by destroying that pipeline.

Raspbian (Buster) for my first; Kubuntu for my longest, and still happily enjoying it!

Call me a normie if you must, I need shit to work and I like it lookin’ pretty.
