It saddens me that you are being downvoted for providing a detailed factual report from an authoritative source. I apologise in the name of all Lemmy for these ignorant people

nothing you're saying is contributing to a meaningful discussion

The difference between them and you is that they are indeed contributing to the discussion and attempting to propose solutions on how to handle the situation. You, on the other hand, seem hellbent on enforcing your point of view without the slightest willingness or empathy to consider the issue from their perspective.

People did talk about that though. There were so many allusions to Clippy when Copilot was launched, and even before that.

Thank you for your service o7

That's just a straight up lie or an error on the part of the operator (you). Ubuntu is very stable with regard to running supported software, and rock-solid when it comes to updates not breaking things.

There is no "Linux UI" per se, the closest thing to it is Bash I guess. I find it important to make people understand that GNU/Linux is not bound to any particular GUI like Windows or MacOS are. With them, their less knowledgeable users equate the GUI to the OS, which is fair because they are so tightly integrated and not changeable. But for GNU/Linux, the visual UX+UI are entirely modular and not part of the operating system itself. As I said, the Bash shell may be interpreted as a kind of UI standard for FOSS Unix and Unix-like systems, but it's also not necessarily required in that it can be replaced with another shell program. Of course, not knowing you I cannot tell how experienced you are with GNU/Linux, so you could know all of this already, therefore don't feel like I'm trying to belittle you or anything, this is meant to be genuinely helpful by giving people that have no prior exposure to GNU/Linux some glances into what makes it special.

Edit: scratch that last part, I've just now noticed that you are the same person that said they had already transitioned partially

On GNU/Linux, the drivers and blobs come with the kernel, so every installation has, by the nature of the operating system, all the drivers it could ever need. The only exception here are proprietary drivers, but that's not because of technical limitations, it is due to the philosophy of our free software movement. You can easily find distros that come pre-installed with proprietary drivers.

If OP is unwilling to learn basic features of the OS, of course they face criticism. This post is not a good contribution, it is once more a superficial review by someone who has jumped on the hating GNU/Linux bandwagon because they somehow personally identify with M$. But the Apple crowd is worse.

Thank you for your bigoted take. You know very well that a) GNU/Linux can print, b) it can "use software" and c) deal with any other scenario.

an adventure in terminal

That I do not understand. With APT, it's usually a single installation command for any kind of software packaged by the distribution. An adventure would in that case translate to a one-liner by your standards?

Genuinely one of the best Star Trek shows imo. The camaraderie, science, techno-babble, mix of half-episodic-half-serialised plots, novelty, philosophical themes and depth of characterisation combine to make something truly worthwhile to watch. I hated Discovery before season 3, but ever since that, it was on a very steep ascent in quality! I still don't like that it's always galaxy-ending threats and that Burnham is so entitled, but no Trek is perfect :)

Ngl, I genuinely find the Windows 11 wallpaper (which is not what this article is about) very beautiful.

So what?

As I understood it, it was actually the scientists that put the portal there.

Ig you are looking at the asbestos wall wall with stone wool?

Whoa, I don't know whether that's a reference to something or a joke, but it is insanely evil to say that in the face of OP's struggles (about which you can read further below).

Can you read?

Please make sure that you distribute your game without DRM. Steam games are more often than not a miss rather than a hit.

As you said yourself, there are certain low-latency solutions that pretty much eliminate any disadvantage that wireless headphones could have.

...which is totally reasonable because her allegations turned out to be unsubstantiated.
