I've never personally run into an issue that required a reinstall that wasn't related to drive corruption. Basically everything has been just a quick restart and the problem vanishes
This. A huge problem I've found in the FOSS community is that people are often somewhat hostile to making things user friendly. It's a sort of elitism, really. There's a middle ground to be had between apple's walled garden, and there being no barriers against something running rm -rf / and fucking you entirely. Like yeah, it's a bit annoying when the .exe from someone you absolutely trust throws a "this file might be harmful" in windows, but the alternative is your grandma who doesn't understand shit about computers getting ass fucked by every random piece of malware.
The best way I've seen it put is as such "why would I bother with a list of workarounds and janky, barely supported tools, just to get on par with out of the box windows". Because like it or not, windows is a piss easy OS to get running on, and Microsoft puts a huge amount of work into making compatability a non-issue. If it was made for windows, it probably still works so long as your hardware hasn't broken it, regardless of how old. Linux just can't match the sheer amount of stuff that works on windows. And Linux subsystem means you don't even need a dedicated Linux boot for things.
So all in all, Linux just doesn't stack up that well as a daily driver. Sure, I have various systems that run it, and they work great, but that's because I don't ever use them beyond narrow purposes.
I have no experience in the field, but is it really that difficult to have servers on Xbox as opposed to everything else? I mean hell, some games fully support multi-player servers for all platform cross play.
I mean so long as it's a decent enough card, people will buy it. The arc cards we already got have some pretty solid price/performance, at least after the drivers got improved.
Yeah, your only options are really a) get something to use it in, b) sell it, or c) save it as extra space for a rainy day. You're really not going to conjure up a novel use for an SD card
I get that you guys have legal issues and such to worry over, being located in Canada and all, but where I'm at, but where I'm at, loli is considered completely legal free expression, and the pedo servers seem to just be weird discussion stuff and not porn so idgaf, I can just block on my end. And same regarding spam. I can block and ignore it on my own end.
One of the big reasons I decided to switch to federated social media is because I was sick of having what I see controlled by someone else, especially big media companies. You guys are nowhere near as bad a reddit, and there's a few communities I like on your instance, but ultimately it doesn't seem like where I want to make my account.
No, at least not independently of other hardware failures.
