  • Linux doesn’t have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it’s just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

    So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.




  • I guess you’re right because I didn’t properly look at the hackaday article.

    Alec has paraphrased the Tedium article. All of the talking points of Alec’s video is in the article.

    The hackaday article just summarised the 16 minute video into 4 short paragraphs and linked to Alec’s video.

    Edit: I like interactions like this (the comment thread since my first comment) because it highlights how easy it is for people to make judgements based on a lack of knowledge. It reminds me to try to not make assumptions.

    I think the internet is broken in this regard. Adverts and all of the tracking is horrific. Pay walling a website for $5-10 a month is not appealing for those who only want to read a couple of articles a month. But, without monetization good content from people who are good at their job will disappear.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m team adblock everything but I am willing to pay if there is a new sensible solution to the problem figured out.
