Some questions:

What version of Linux does Fedora install? Is it directly compatible with Windows software such as games and OBS, or does it require modifications/compatibility installations such as WINE? Does it have documented support online or is it a matter of haunting forums and such for when problems occur? And no matter how solid an OS is, I will tend to break it, generally by doing stupid shit, but I will break it. Before putting it back together. Which is generally how I tend to learn software.

Frankly, I don't care.

I'm going to keep using Windows 10, updates or not, until I absolutely have no other choice, hoping against hope that the cracks in the Recall/AI monolith with have spread wide enough that a future Win 12 or 13 won't have them in it. I don't run a business. I don't keep sensitive information on any internet capable devices and my work uses the AS400 system.

I know Linux is a thing, and about a dozen years ago I spent a year using Ubuntu exclusively. While appreciating the OS, I got tired of chanting magic spells at computer every time I wanted to use software I liked on it, and so went back to Windows.

These days, despite being a reasonably tech savvy person approaching 60, I'm getting to the point where I'm just not up to learning/relearning an OS unless there is a critical need, and using Windows 10 there just isn't. At least not for me.

As a Canadian, I'd like to ask you a couple of things.

What exactly does it mean to codify something? Two, why can't the Federal Gov put out a set of standards and say, "If you want Federal money for your healthcare systems, you have to meet these standards. If you don't want to, that's fine, but in that case you get get nothing from us."

That's essentially how it works in Canada between our Federal gov and the Provinces, granted Canadian Provinces are less powerful than American states, but the power of the purse should still be the same, yes?

Two reasons:

  1. Ethics
  2. The GOP engaged in a campaign of doing everything, fair and foul, to prevent or at least slow this from happening.

How so? Explain please, cause I'm not understanding the connection. (Yes, I'm both non-American and an idiot)

Well, better than the time someone broke into the home of the Canadian Prime Minister (Jean Chretien at the time) and his wife held off the intruder with a soapstone carving...

Doesn't the DPRK operate under the Juche political concept?

Serious question, are there any true communist/Marxist nations today that would be examples of your statement?

Sorry about terribad formatting, old phone is old

Balanced, flexible approach that allows neither capitalists nor the proletariat to have absolute dominance over the other. Is there a system that does this? Tbh, I don't know.

I do know that end stage capitalism Does Not Work, nor does Communism as we have seen it in the world .

Because communist nations always get stuck at the dictator phase and never make it to the part where the workers actually decide thibgs

If you say so.
