I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

That’s nice, but this ain’t MacOS or Windows. This is Linux.

Sorry but 20 years of “but this isn’t exactly like Winders11!!!one!” starts to grate on me. It’s a different OS with a different philosophy and a different workflow. Everbody coming from Windows had to learn to deal with the nuances of that OS as well, nuances they’ve completely forgotten about because it’s second nature.

I don’t WANT Linux to be exactly like MacOS and Windows. I want it to stand on its own, with its own ideas on how to run a computer.

Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin’ dare ya.

Edit: we want Falcon 9’s landing guidance software too.

Mint is OK for beginners, but definetly not for me, old ass pakages due to the Ubuntu LTS base

What does that say about me, a guy who’s been using Linux since 2001 and uses Debian Stable? At a certain point you get sick and tired of dealing with bleeding edge bugs and just want a reliable, generic, standardized system you can depend on every day.

The term “app” usually refers to applications for mobile devices such as phones.

ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.

That’s okay, if you want a quick nostalgia trip, just open one of the many control panels. Use the one according to the Windows era you want.

Okay? It was on a test stand. That’s what test stands are for. Isn’t stuff like this almost a weekly occurrence for them?

Reject Mint, embrace Debian.

Uh-Oh!

Do ASCII-encoded UI elements count as “graphics”? I remember a few PC games using them in the 80s.

Good. It will finally put to rest the “not real communism” argument when a superintelligent AI finally figures out how to make it work without bloodshed or oppression and turns on all the tankies. I’ll be waiting with the popcorn.

I can’t imagine all the shit it’s picked up from 4chan’s /b/.

Ok…someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.

Back to the 80s/early 90s where the only people using computers were the ones that actually knew how to use computers? Hell yes, take me back.
