@aeva @marius according to marketing departments, yes. from the same people who brought you "communicating" as a one-way street

@marius @alexadeswift I gave up recommending operating systems to others. I just enjoy my ArchLinux and keep to myself.

@codeofamor @marius I enjoy my LMDE laptop too, which is a bit unusual in being a 2017 MacBook Air ๐Ÿ’ป

@alexadeswift @marius Exactly. Old by BLOATED software standards. Works great for reasonable experts.

@codeofamor @marius after my batteries completely people were telling me to throw it away and by โ€žsomething newer and betterโ€œ! I have since replaced the battery, put new shells on the outside to smarten it up, installed a privacy screen on it, installed the latest LMDE (it canโ€™t even run the latest MacOS) and added a 512Gb microSD and another 512Gb USB SSD drive.

Why spend over a thousand Euro when the above probably only came to a couple of hundred over months?

@alexadeswift @marius Exactly. The keyboard went bad on the MacBook by only two keys but impossible to repair even with my array of tools (I dismantled it down to the rivets). So I found a replacement second hand and replaced that part. Works better than ever. Have replaced the battery also. I must admit I currently use the even weaker HP more often because it boots fast and I usually keep it in the virtual terminal. And it has days of battery life! Can't compile for shit though. Meh. I spend most my time in SSH or scripting in helix.

@marius Theyโ€™re on Win 11 now, FWIW, so at this point if you recommending Win 10 to anyone itโ€™s pure trolling. End of support is Oct 2025.

@marius I don't recommend Gentoo to anyone...

I tend to recommend easier to use distros if people ask.

@marius people are less likely to answer a question than to correct a wrong answer. So if you say you are using windows, that's obviously the wrong answer...

@marius Though, isn't it, like, normal to discuss operating systems when it's a topic practically brought by the situation itself?

I disscussed Windows 8 with a friend who used it at the time. I discussed linux when people noticed I use it. And generally, you might ask "how is it?", with favorable response being what you can consider a reccomendation.

Though... A lot of linux users are being very... eh... normal about it, and companies would rather have people reccommending their OS with as much persistency as linux community does for linux...
