Same thing I did with it this year. Send emails, write documents, watch movies, watch YouTube, play KSP and Astroneer, program some c++, design hobby PCBs, look at porn...
Hang it out the back unsecured and then lose it and shatter it into a million pieces all along the highway like my old boss did to a fiberglass ladder.
There are adult people alive right now who save things in software with a button that looks like a floppy disk without even knowing what it is. It will become part of normal language as just another word who's origin was forgotten. Just like we still "tape" and "film" things with digital cameras.
Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.
Modern tech makes a lot of this irrelevant. I can drive from US into Canada, spend 5 seconds going through my cars settings, and have everything displayed in km, even the km I have left in the tank. It's like when coders use constants in their program, and only have to remember the constant name while the number it represents can change in a config header or something. The program still runs as normal while silently using the new value.
It's not really worth caring about. Not in everyday life. I'd say differently if you were a scientist or engineer. Metric should be the measurement system of all STEM.
Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends
I'm old school. I've been using GUI based OSes since Windows 3.11 and 95, and prefer KDE due to its similarity. Unity feels like what they did with Windows 8, where they tried to turn a desktop OS into a tablet OS. And it just feels "klunky", for lack of a better term. Too much bling for not enough benefit. KDE strikes a nice balance between eye-candy and responsiveness.
Much as I'd have enjoyed seeing it, it would have greatly hindered adoption when the general public started finding out about furries in the early 2000s and would have made Linux look like a toy not for serious use.
Yeah, it's nothing like back in the early 2000s hoping and praying you don't have to sit there and hand-edit XFree86 files by trial and error, that is if your graphics chip/card is even supported. Basic VESA mode didn't even work for a lot of them.
Edit: oh yeah I completely forgot about dependency hell too.
Welcome to the longest technological journey of your life of both incredible frustrations and the most awesome rewards once you push through and get the hang of how things work. I am a 21 year long user and I still learn new things almost every day. If you're the kind of person who gets off on bashing your head against a wall all night and after almost giving up finally solves the problem and gets a huge burst of euphoria from it like a drug, then Linux is definitely for you.
I don't tend to sugarcoat it like a lot of other established users, I am not going to lie to you. You WILL encounter this at some point ;)
There are literally entire regions in the rural US where the only place to work is Walmart because they came in and deliberately operated the store at a loss to kill off all surrounding businesses. What do you suggest those people do?
Not everybody can be a white collar worker either. There are also literally not enough well paying jobs to go around. You assume everybody has the ability to just quit and move on whenever they want. And I'm saying this from a comfortable position, career wise, much like you. I just know how shitty things are.
