Well the bot issue can be overcome with a new bot. Unfortunately the first issue is one that can only really be sorted out with a new instance.

That's fair!

Congrats on your first pull request!

Will it not get another moderator or just fall into disuse?

Bloody hell, that's a tremendous post. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I can totally see why anyone would abandon Linux with those problems. But at least now we all know just to send you round if anyone is having problems 😏

I just read about them shutting down 2G here (the UK), it feels like the end of an era.

😂 I so shouldn't be giving you that but you genuinely made me laugh, so I'm going to give you that. Take my upvote!

Exactly this. I actually thought Windows was going to do something radical when they dumped the start menu, but people hate change and so they were forced to bring it back

+1 this. This community isn't about agreeing with the data, it's about how it's presented

The next couple years will be interesting. They can't just throw more processor speed at us and call it a day, so will be intriguing to see how they overcome that.

That's a good purchase

Yeah, but with a Roomba, it's not tied to a utility. You're never going to NEED it, whereas with a phone, you need it to live these days, for better or worse.

I thought the people still using 12s were mind-blowing.

The fact that you report bugs you find makes you nothing short of a legend.

I can see why you would recommend it. For me though, it's too close to the Windows UX. I try and make people break away from what they know in order to have the cleanest transition.

What kind of issues did you run into if you don't mind me asking? I jumped ship from Ubuntu just when they started with the snap nonsense, so things I found egregious, like them dropping Unity, aren't really valid in the grand scheme of things.

I think the finance model for phones kinda makes them such an easy purchase in a way in which you can't do on PC.

Ubuntu is a great gateway distro. When I dumped Windows back in the Windows 10 days, Ubuntu made it an easy transition, time elapsed and there were things that didn't work right that I found frustrating. I eventually ended up trying out Fedora and the rest was history. I'm glad you found a good fit for you.

What did you get last year?

To be fair, I've only ever seen negative opinions about the Tensor chips and the majority of it stems from it being an Exynos derivative.
