I’m a total newb when I use GUIs. I need max automation… I don’t really know how to do this. Also… I never had issues with drivers. And on Windows there is almost nothing installed. You need to install stuff by using a browser … horrible.

If it’s on company time, it’s fine.
This doesn’t seem to be a problem with snap. Canonical probably tried to show vendors a way how to distribute software commercially. But vendors are on the level of cavemen and don’t know shit about Linux even after serving a solution. Or they simply don’t care about building up a market opportunity.
I don’t want to defend Ubuntu. I don’t like Ubuntu especially, but it might be a simple explanation.
Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it’s crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.
I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.
Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI…
I’ve been using vim/neovim for more than a decade. Here are my favorite plugins (ranked):
You should notice that I use the word “trust”. I install stuff on my servers and PCs from people who I trust. Why should I trust someone who makes an anticheat engine. Why should I have a reason to do that?
You should also understand that a kernel-level piece of code that can be updated is a very good rootkit. It contains all essential tools to modify hardware, kernel, install drivers, keyloggers etc. It satisfies the definition of “rootkit” very well.
One single piece of code is enough to be a rootkit.

Popular definition (e.g . Ionos):
Rootkits: The rootkit is considered to be a type of Trojan horse. Many Trojan horses exhibit the characteristics of a rootkit. The main difference is that rootkits actively conceal themselves in a system and also typically provide the hacker with administrator rights.
If you compromise your system with software that you don’t know and potentially can introduce a backdoor (even involuntary via bugs), you have a rootkit installed.
If you don’t trust it, don’t install it with admin privileges. Maybe don’t install it at all. Anticheat is a shady business. And mostly not owned by the company that produces the maybe trusted product to be protected.
Anti cheat = rootkit. You should not install it at all.
That’s why BBC journalists have been there.
Guns are expensive. The terrorists are likely taking them when they flee. Also to cover all the tracks. Some equipment was forgotten.
You need to explain why a hospital needs hand grenates. This is not something you would just store in a locker after taking it away from people.
Also you left out “journalists who take pictures and don’t help injured people”. It’s still controversial, but it’s essential to understand it correctly.
Linux distributions compile stuff by themselves. No one uses vendor-provided software if there is a way to compile it.
And if Hamas thinks that Israel does not have a right to exists and they have the right to kill everyone there, the occupation wasn’t necessary. It’s a vicious circle. Hamas is not in position to present themselves as victims. Their agenda is unconditional and the occupation is not the reason they kill people. They simply lie.
To move out of a country, you need to give up your possessions and you need to have some money to pay a few things on your way without being able to work.
EU, especially Germany has encoded free asylum for people who have to flee a country in their constitution. What do you want more?
Everyone is looking at Egypt and Jordan. These are the next countries that could act. But they are shitting at the EU. Well, fuck those hypocrites.
Sooner or later everyone will find their way to Debian. It’s boring and it works.
(My opinion) No, you aren’t paranoid. I’m thinking a bit like you, but I also consider probabilities. You need to download the checksums from the official website and the ISO from mirrors. Two different sources would need to be hacked. This is where I say, it’s hard and secondly someone would notice that hack very quickly.
Signing the ISO or the checksums with a well-known signature is still important. I verify it, if a signature available. It’s just a couple of seconds and doesn’t cost anything.
Former managers of Deutsche Bahn did not care to invest into modernization. Managers get money for showing and keeping plus in their Excel sheets. They leave the company with all kinds of bonuses for that and risk no repercussions.
The next generation of managers are simply fucked. They inherit all the neglected infrastructure and bad processes.
Additionally politics made it even worse. They told the managers that repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported. So Deutsche Bahn literally let the tracks and stations rot until they need to be totally renewed.
This all based on absolute greed. And the best is you can harm Germany for free without any risks and keep all your money. No one here would get the idea to jail the responsible people who let it happen.
You don’t own games generally. It’s always a license for software use. You may own the game, if you buy the company and the license is fully under its control.
Software is not a product. And there is no guarantee you will be able to run it forever, even if you made a copy of your entire setup. It’s especially the case with Windows, because it’s bound to a specific hardware that will break one day. Microsoft also cares less and less about gamers (see what they do with their operating system for consumers) and they have a way out with XBox. My bet is that Windows is not making money for Microsoft anymore and it will degrade more and more. Gabe knows it and has a strategy against it. If you’re a gamer and want have games on PC, use Linux and support the good cause.
