He doesn't. There's a rope below him.

I'd bet money that more people currently live in caves than 20000 years ago.

They don't.
Programs only show themselves when you take an action (hit a key) or when it's urgent (in a notification).
Otherwise they're supposed to stay invisible.

So in Gnome philosophy, your sensor would notify you when the temp goes critical and otherwise you'd have to open it manually.

If you didn't mess with your sources.list it won't switch to the new release automatically.

You can use options in the package manager to show orphaned packages and then decide if you want to remove them.
Removing packages automatically could be argued to be a bad idea in general.

It's Slackware's approach to dependency resolution. You don't need to resolve dependencies on your system if you just install every package in the repo.

The installed size is under 15 GB, and you get a system that works equally well for a desktop as for a server with lots of app choices out of the box.

(Throwing the kitchen sink at you was the common way to install Linux in the old days, before quick Internet)

Teams helps cooperation by uniting everyone in their shared hatred for Teams.

That's just the thing, though. There is no equivalent on Arch.

Slackware's package manager is extremely easy to use:

slackpkg upgrade-all upgrades all installed packages
slackpkg install-new installs all packages that were added to the repo
slackpkg clean-system uninstalls all packages that were removed from the repo

And that's all.

Is Microsoft planning to release a viable replacement at some point?

everyone is used to it

Counterpoint: The main criticism of Gnome seems to be that it doesn't match the design philosophy of Windows 95, which users are used to.
But at this point, an entire human generation later, and 14 years after the release of Gnome 3, I don't think that's a valid criticism anymore.

apt autoremove does nothing on Arch.

Just leave it. Either they do something in the background. Then you'll get issues when they're missing, and you'll never know which package is missing for what.
Or they don't do anything, then they just take up a few MB of disk space.

"Cleaning up" is the most sure-fire way to destroy your OS, and absolutely not worth anyone's time. Trust me, I've made that mistake multiple times.

Fuck you for triggering that memory.
I can still hear the sounds he made.

I though we were talking about German express trains.

Realistically, I'd contact police and hope they'll be nice enough to eventually contact my country's embassy. There, I'd be able to identify myself via biometrics. When I get access to a phone, I could call my mom whose number I have memorized.
She has plenty of accessible funds to get me home.

There I can open the door with a hidden key, get new ID using my birth certificate, and with that, I can get back into my bank account, have new house keys made, order a new SIM card for my phone number, and that gets me back into half my accounts.

Electronically, I'd be fucked.

My password manager sends a code to my email address as 2FA, the password to the email account is only in the password manager, all other accounts are tied to that email address, and the email hoster asks for info you put in during account creation for recovery, but I put in random bullshit.

took me a moment to understand what you mean but that's a neat idea for the time while you're migrating away from WhatsApp.

I wouldn't mind Trump becoming a saint tomorrow.

Microsoft is thriving and will continue to do so, just probably on machines running Linux.
They get paid $$ per month per employee by most businesses in the developed world.
There is a mature alternative to desktop Windows now. But there isn't for AD, Azure, Exchange, Kerberos and M365.
