If they can get a version that just runs all Windows programs (not just games) out of the box without user modification then great. I'd consider that to be an actual Windows replacement.

If all you're running is a browser and some light office suite use then great, Linux can do that now. Otherwise what people saying "just switch to Linux" are really saying is "stop using your PC".

At least it looks like you can get in and out of the doors at the side, rather than the BMW Isetta which amusingly coupled the front-only opening with having no reverse gear.

The good games were great. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is probably the best Mario game full stop.

The controllers were crap for traditional games.

There was so much shovelware.

There was a Switch version.

Android and iOS already replaced Windows for normies.

And think that is what gave them success, rather than the millions of dollars of their father's money.

Because sometimes you need to take out a tank.

I mean, the Switch is already designed to take it to the shitter with you.

The UK is a lot further north, and it's probably not a massive loss.

It was enough to prevent me getting "free" solar panels (while that was a thing) though, so I'm still salty about that.

I love it when uppity kids think they have a "job description" the allows them to not do things.

Your job is what the manager says it is, or you find a new one.

Truth.

I've been in software development for 25 year at this point, and this is my #1 takeaway. No matter what it is, people won't read it.

We have never lived in a meritocracy. That is just some bullshit billionaires will tell you while you work yourself into an early grave.

And here's some free life advice: If you can stand to be around your parents once you reach early adulthood, continue to live with them. Life is cheaper in groups. Pay some rent and your share, but you'll find it a lot easier to save money for your own place when some leech landlord isn't funnelling all your hard earned money off to their own retirement fund.
