And IMO, that needs to change. Mint has released ISOs with updated kernels which does help. But expecting everybody to eventually graduate to a rolling release distro by the time they want to buy a new PC is just going to send people back to Windows.

The guy behind Nobara does a LOT of important work to make Linux usable at home, especially when it comes to gaming. And in case anyone doesn't know, he is a software engineer at Red Hat, the company sponsoring Fedora, the distro that Nobara is based on.

IMO, you shouldn't have to learn Arch just to be able to get a new PC. Eventually, people who like Ubuntu and Mint are going to want to upgrade to a new computer, and they might be in for a shock once they do. That kind of thing is what pushes people back to Windows.

My experience has been the opposite. I built a new PC last year, and only Fedora and Arch recognized the Radeon GPU and the Intel Wi-Fi. Mint was shipping a kernel that was too old to recognize either one.

"Yes, do as I say!"

I miss the days when their slogan was "Don't be evil"

Nah, every conservative I know hates toll roads with a passion. They want the roads to be taxpayer-funded because that's what they use as an upstanding member of society, while social programs and public transit should be profitable or shut down because those are for the poors who need to get their act together.

Basically, they think everything conservatives and billionaires rely on should be taxpayer-funded, while everything they don't need is "for the poors" and needs to either turn a profit or be cut.

Seriously. I hear a lot from the right that public transit, bike routes, and social programs need to be profitable or they shouldn't exist. With no mention of the roads they drive on every day.

"We're not anti-union. We're pro-employee!"

Honestly, this. This is exactly why people don't trust Canva not to enshittify it. OnlyOffice is also owned by a company, but since it's free as in freedom, people know they can trust it.

The problem with this country is that the majority of people always think it's OK if their side does it. My belief that wrong is wrong no matter who does it now gets me labeled as a grifter.
