I know everyone here foams over Linux, and for good reason... but please remember the average user is a techno-fobe who struggles to find the start menu. Linux just isn't an option for a lot of people. Windows has been around so long and feels familiar. Until there is a major demographic shift and ECE training on general computer use an basic troubleshooting... the majority of the population will stick with whatever arrives when they turn it on because "It's what they know".

If Linux is to take over it must come PRE-installed, Must be fully compatible (read: plug-n-play); even with the weird printer your aunt found in a garage sale, at-least feel familiar to the majority of users.... and for corpos... run MS office (read: excel) natively.

Regulate and legalize it. Collect taxes from it. You're not going to stop the worlds oldest industry; just force it underground.

So either embrace corporatism or be branded a commie he means?

Hookers are cheaper than a house man. Save yourself the drama.

The turnout in the states says a lot. no one is happy. Even trump lost total votes; the Dems failed the mobilize their vote... which screams of people not thinking anything will change no matter what vote they place. It is a mirror for what is going on up here... In all likelihood the libs are out and its the cost of living and scarce jobs to blame for it. If they actually wanted to win the next election, they have already shown they could change things with a stroke of a pen and DON'T.

All cars should function like a cockpit- each function has its own independent metal toggle switch that goes 'KAK when switched. I will fight you on this. We need someone to make an interior that does this; sells well, and then the golden age of independent buttons shall return!

You left a stable union job in media over a political disagreement... brave, stupid, but brave.
