I used Debian, there is a version for the Surface if you do some searching, after install you need to update the kernel for everything to work as it should. But it's not that complicated, I just followed the guide that accompanied the update.
As for the touch and pen. Both works fine for me. I did find a whiteboard software that recognized both sides as pen and eraser. Though I've been planning on trying to install one note and test that on the linux version. Just haven't gotten around to it.
My religious beliefs? I don't have any. Nor have i stated anything about certain people being superior over anyone else.
You're right, the f35 has not been performing strikes against Eastern nations directly. That doesn't mean it has never been tested. They're sold to various countries in Europe and each and every nation does test their capabilities with their own systems. Each of their neighbours take every oppertunity to test their capabilities as well. Everyone has come to the same conclusion. The ram capabilities of the f35 is mighty impressive.
You've displayed your lack of insight into each and every aspect enough as it is.
And addressing your childish game of name calling isn't an ad hominem attack. But it is funny you mention that, seeing how you unprovoked, resort to personal attacks. The comment-chain is there to read for everyone. You're the only one between us making personal attacks.
Ah yes. Now I'm a racist as well. What do you base that on exactly?
If you think they've never tested the stealth capabilities of the f35 you're delusional.
You got absolutely nothing in terms of knowledge on the subject, which is why you resort to personal attacks and throw in the occasional "no u" to derail the discussion into a match of name calling. You follow the same pattern every time.
Ah yes. Everything that is inconvenient for your arguments is a conspiracy. Must be very convenient.
The F35 does try to do a lot of things. You can argue effectiveness of many of them. But what it DOES do well, is performing as a stealth strike craft. Credit where credit is due. The ram technology development in the US is impressive and world leading.
You resort unprovoked to name calling ("yankeestan"), and attack others intellect. It really shows your insecurity the moment something doesn't go your way.
You speak of "generations" as if the jets are a console. "They're making a 6th gen aircraft". They claim they're making a 6:th gen aircraft. That claim won't be proven until they start producing. Until then it's nothing but speculation and fairy dust.
Buddy, you've not just fallen for propaganda, you've taken an express elevator right down the shaft and keep drilling once you arrive.
Sources alluding to what exactly?
That the F-35 had had problems? Every single jet platform has had problems.
While the F-35 has problems of its own, its no secret that China is yet to manage to develop anything that can rival or beat their RAM.
Prototypes are nothing short of speculations and wishful thinking until it starts to hit production.
And I'm not even a fan of US jets. As a Swede I will admit my bias for our own platforms. But the F-35 does fill a role that our fighters doesn't. And it does fill that specific role quite well. It's not an all purpose aircraft.
taking pause to look around when new things are revealed, which is sensible. doesn't mean what you think it means.
I remember the hype about Chinas new submarines. Oh they were gonna be so good and so stealthy. Turns out they didn't make it far out of the Harbour before sinking.
So what was that you said about China producing things that "actually work"? Or maybe you excluded their sinking sub in that statement. I must have missed the asterisk
However, they call far from everyone, and there's about 1001 things you can do to not get called for service if you really don't want to.
First step is that you're sent a form to fill out. Questions about your health and habits among other things. So. If you really don't want to... Let's just say they probably won't be too interested in someone that (allegedly) smokes 1-2 pack of cigarettes a day.
Not to be confused with the Swedish concept of "Total Defense" (probably poorly translated).
Should "total-defense" be called however. Everyone between 16 and 70 have to report in for war-duty. This doesn't mean everyone is going into battle. But it means you have to be at service for the defensive effort of our nation. Could be administrative tasks, logistical, construction, anything really, depends on who you are and what your experience is. This is not something you can get out of. It's one of your duties as a citizen
Your first part is how mandatory military service is just to teach how to kill. Which is not true.
Most countries don't need military service to work on community projects. Because people already know how their communities work, and there just isn't a need for that type of slave labour.
What the military can get called in for though are things like disaster relief or searches for missing people where you need to look through a whole forest.
It's literally, a nazi salute. And I don't use the word literally often.
The only thing disturbing aside from the salute is people like you defending it
