Arch might actually be a great start if you had prior experience in Linux and want to learn more about it. For example, if you are in computer science and you are doing systems programming you probably have used Linux at the command line, Arch might be a great way to continue working on similar projects.

Before Chromebooks, my towns school system had netbooks which were pitifully slow on Windows. They installed Ubuntu instead. The netbooks still sucked, but probably sucked a lot less.

Knowing GM they will lobby to ban Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

"bank transfer"

Laughs in US.

I have to convince every one of my friends to switch because they all use SMS/iMessage. Outside of the US, you would have to convince every one of your friends to switch from WhatsApp.

It's kind of odd that they could just take random information from the internet without asking and are now treating it like a trade secret.

It's not doing anything other than predicting the next word. It reflects human data.

Don't like these either, but it's a nice break from being on my feet all day.

Galileo seems to be what they are calling the environment the USB boots to. This environment is moving from the XFCE desktop environment to the different KDE plasma desktop environment. These environments can both be customized, but they are very different under the hood. I imagine that you can still choose XFCE and other desktop environments from the installer.

Not a specific experience but I am more confident about contributing to discussions.

When will any of these companies realize that they need to leave forever?

Except instead of the car being old, it is modern and fast.

Oh man, I did that too. Reminded me that I should always keep a backup.

Probably because it is stupid simple to escape their ecosystem just by sideloading apps. They want to lock you down with their own OS.

As a driver for one of these apps it's more of a bid than a tip. People send me bids to deliver their food and I deliver to the highest bidder. It sucks because that's not what a tip is supposed to be and the majority of the delivery fee doesn't go to the driver. That's why I don't really order from these delivery apps myself anymore.

Yeah it's definitely a pro and con at the same time. More of a pro for me.

Not everyone can. People should consider their needs but Windows has programs that professionals rely on.

I do like Arch. I say the biggest problem I have with it is how basic it is out the box. I like that, but I sometimes find it challenging, especially toward the beginning, to find the package I'm missing to get a certain functionality.

I strongly advise not to do that. As others pointed out, it really is just predicting the next word. It is worth learning about how to problem solve and to recognize that the only way to become a better program is with practice. It's better to get programming advice from real people online and read the documentations for the functions and languages you are trying to use.

There is so much cognitive dissonance between the warning at the bottom of the screen and the content of the commercial. Totally agreed.
