For what, may I ask? Can you give an example? I'm on Debian, arguably a less friendly distro than most, but I haven't had to touch the terminal in two weeks. And it was just to ping a server somewhere, something you need to do on the command line in Windows as well.

It doesn't just cost FPS. It straight up breaks some games that run fine on other distros.

Does it still have that feature that kills and restarts cinnamon when memory leaks start getting to be too much? I honestly had to laugh at that when that was introduced.

It's probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

It's just a general quality of the political far right the world over. They don't like people that don't act, look, or think like them. Anything that challenges their beliefs about what a person is supposed to do is something to fight against for them.

When it goes to the extreme, you get Nazis.

Or a train. He realllly hates trains. If they're not in stupid-ass evacuated tubes and separated into pods, that is.

They're usually always propping up their whole operation on a series of open source wooden carts they picked up off the Internet. Those carts are the foundation that makes everything work.

As we saw a couple months ago, a core part of how Internet security works had a giant hole in it, and it was all because one dude had some kind of mental breakdown and handed off development to an attacker.
