      It’s a mixture… forcing companies into roaming agreements, mandating USB C, CCS2, stuff like that.

      Then they propose laws to effectively ban end to end encryption.

      It’s not perfect by any means, but I’m glad to have it and can’t think of any other political organisation doing more “good”.

      Yes, but on the other hand, sometimes too much, with all the spying laws they wan to push every semester.

          Swapping out a large listmof unsolvable problems, bugs, and limitations for a smaller lost of very doable problems.

          And I say that as a 24 years Linux user who seriously only sees shit getting worse on the other side every time

            The average user wants their computer to just work, they want to open up their new Bluetooth headphones that their son/ grandson bought them and it connects as expected. Your definition of problem and what is solvable is very different to theirs

              The average beginner distro handles bluetooth headphones just fine. On Windows they do not always work reliably

                Anecdotally, I disagree with that. I’ve never had an issue with Bluetooth on windows. I struggle a lot with Bluetooth on ubuntu

                  I’ve had issues with Bluetooth on Windows 11, but it worked perfectly on Linux Mint. On Windows 11 the Bluetooth card would simply disappear after I put the laptop to sleep, only appearing at random after multiple restarts. It did work in Windows 10 just fine, however. Similarly, I had to change my WiFi card just for Windows 11. It kept disconnecting from network. Again, something that did not affect Windows 10 or Linux Mint.
                  If I didn’t have unused WiFi card laying around, I definitely wouldn’t be buying another one just for Windows.

          Ok now edit something in word, adobe, old cad programs, etc.

          I like linux, but it will never be a main driver. Too much stuff doesn’t work and you need to tinker with it to make it work a lot of the time.

            These days Linux works out of the box with most hardware (even Nvidia hardware is getting better, less bad boy)

            Word? Done. Open office. Want it online? Use google drive or install only office for open source.

            Adobe Photoshop? Yeah that is one dick company but fine. setup windows in a virtualbox on a separate desktop.
