It just keeps a copy.

Imagine turning to Reddit for deep stuff. Specific hobbies I understand, but depth ...

I can't believe no one mentioned this yet. I hope OP reads this comment. The first step is to make sure this new computer you want to buy is compatible with Linux. Otherwise your experience will be very frustrating, no matter what distro you choose. That is, if you can install any distros at all. Ask the vendor if this machine is compatible with Linux.

If your competition is other spreadsheet programs, then yes. If your competition is Python or R, absolutely not.

Some people add the rind to broths.

Which is all irrelevant to original point and doesn't change how factual my comment is. Should we start replying to comments making any factual point now?

That's not the point (which is also subjective; if you are a Linux developer or uses Linux software at work it's much harder to use Window). They implied that Linux doesn't let you install proprietary software, which is not true and shows they don't understand how software works. Windows software requires proprietary software from Microsoft to run. You can't run Windows software on Linux because those components are proprietary to Microsoft and are not available for Linux, although Wine tries to reverse engineer them.

All Linux distros give you the choice of installing and uninstalling whatever you want.

I don't think you understand how Linux and software work. Windows software doesn't work on Linux because it depends on other Windows software. Wine tries to supply these missing pieces. Linux isn't stopping from doing anything.

Everyone likes to feel superior in some way. To a lot of people, they were born superior, especially those who feel like they are not important in any other way.

This. No one would buy an arbitrary computer and expect MacOS to run on it, for example. Buy a computer with known Linux support. Ask the vendor.

20 years ago our cat fell out of our workshop's ceiling and we decided to keep it. True story.

The newer one is a lot funnier though.

Not anymore.

Every popular sub on Reddit is the same four questions or topics posted over and over again. It is like users are unable to read any previous posts. I've seen old time users writing basically the same comment on multiple posts for years, and then new people would come and ask the same bloody question again. This convinced me to never post anything of value on Reddit. It just drowns in a sea of comments and will never be read again.

GRRM has already said that if he dies, he doesn't want another author to finish his series. So no, this is not going to happen.

Wow! Ticketmaster pretending to care about scalpers consists of ... blocking Firefox? No wonder ticket sales are such a shitshow.

Also !cat@lemmy.world

According to what I have heard, other elite hacker skills that are at risk of getting lost in the younger generations include searching on Google and using e-mail.
