  • If you plan to not use cable and consume everything over internet, forget about OS and just choose TV based on screen/budget and then use some streaming system. All TV OSes are crap from what I have read, there isn't a single good one, they usually are slow + manufacturer eventually will stop updating it.

    I have tried Chromecast and it was pretty good. I guess Android TV would work same way so if you cannot decide between 2 TVs and one of them is Android TV, pick that one.

    If you already have or plan to have a media server, check if it has a native app you could install on your OS of choice. Jellyfin for example is on Android TV.

  • What's with the downvotes? It's a relevant question.

    I do use DNS adblock so will not be able to share my experience.

  • As a Windows user for quite some time, I have couple comments about some statements.

    Windows does not support links

    Do you mean these things or it's something else?

    Multiple roots. C: D: and so on.

    If you have 1 disk, it will be just C: partitioning is not really a thing anymore for most. And if you have multiple disks, doesn't UNIX separate each (I think they were called devices /dev/ or something like that)? And if you want, you can put multiple physical disks under 1 logical partition so you end up with 100TB of C:\

    No central package Manager

    There's a new native thing called winget. There are also 3rd party options like Chocolatey.

    Terminal sucks on windows

    New Windows Terminal is pretty good. There are also 3rd party options like ConEmu.

    I hate PowerShell with it's weird verbose syntax

    It is logical and easy to understand without memorizing some arcane strings. There are also aliases that even match UNIX commands like ls or man, but using those is bad practice unless you do some quick thing interactively.

    All in all, if someone grows up with specific OS, they will probably prefer that OS and when comparing it with another one, try to do same operations same way as on their primary OS ending up with bad experience.

  • If that's the primary use case then it indeed does not help anyone. Have never used it so I assumed passengers use it to get a lift when going to work or some event like concert by someone who would travel there anyway.

  • Idea is that instead of 4 cars containing 1 person in each of them you get 1 car with 4 people in it. No idea how well it works in practice though, I assume most people who already drive will want to keep driving alone even if it is more expensive.

  • Not only it exists, but it is the best option alongside downloaders that use streaming services like Deezer. Maybe there are private trackers for music, but I have never found torrents to be great for music, never knew about what.cd before it went down.

    Finding someone in Soulseek with good internet speed and music you like and downloading parent folder might be the best option in your case.

    Another great source as some have mention is just random blogs, there are quite a lot such blogs on blogspot.com for example. Have occasionally found great stuff there
