One word: Recall

Yeah Lunduke showed his true self and I’ve written him off as yet another narcissistic crazy in the world.

Do we really want that?

As long as competition and choice continues to be the mantra of the Linux desktop, then yes, I'd love to see more and more people using it.

We have it pretty good right now. I would actually say we’re living in a golden age of desktop Linux: there’s constant innovation, good support, you get to do pretty much everything you need, while flying under the radar.

Very true.

Unwanted attention from Microsoft, who I bet are not going to be doing nice things once they start getting paranoid about it.

I mean, Ballmer called Linux a cancer pretty early on, so that ship sailed a long time ago.

I really don’t think that large companies like Adobe will care about Linux

Once they start losing large sums of money due to people switching and finding viable alternatives, they certainly will care. Right now Adobe has one main thing going for them -- apathy and muscle memory of the aging demographic of their users. That will eventually change.

the least we get to interact with them the better.

Absolutely. I used to be an Adobe fan, back when Kevin Lynch was a part of it, and I was a Flex developer. Then Jobs wrote his thing about Flash, and a year later, not a month after Jobs's death, Adobe dumps Flex -- and literally overnight my position changed from Flex to HTML5 and Java.

As a PHP developer

I’m so, so sorry.

The installer is garbage in my opinion. But aside from that, the distro is probably fine.

I’m one of those users :)

Well-deserved, I’m sure.

Awarded to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both.

A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.

Yes, Democrats, let’s make certain we do literally everything possible to hand Trump another win and avoid all accountability for being the crooked piece of shit he is — all for Israel.

Wow.

Maybe one day Democratic leadership will understand that it’s really not a good idea to piss off their voter base — since voters, even Democrats, will vote against their party candidate just to spite them and damn the consequences.
