It's a subscription service for an airbag vest. They'd rather have you die than not pay for a product you already purchased. I'd say that whether or not there's a mechanical failure, the billing department does want to kill poor people.

The only things I can't play on linux are games with heavy kernel-injected anti-cheats and racing games (AC and BNG). Everything else "just works". Hell, I even managed to get Overcooked's cross-platform version to work.

There are few things I'd suggest more than keeping Windows and Linux installations WELL separated. I've had windows update EFI entries for the whole system more than once, leaving the linux OS unbootable.

I couldn't possibly care less about Docker Desktop. Portainer is a much better solution when graphical administration becomes necessary. (Which should be never)

My brother in christ you're the one who chooses their own content

I have never even heard that was a thing. Wow.

Trying to reason with right-wing extremists is now more impossible than ever. I've seen a dude defend medical bankruptcy as a concept. When trying to explain to them how inhumane that sounded, they called me a commie and starting on a pointless rant about trans people.

Another way to flex is to go on "programming" discord servers and shit on any sami-controversial take a 13y/o has there. /s

but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?

A bad command execution in a small IT shop will only bring down a couple of websites at most. A bad command execution in large cloud providers can literally make significant portions of the web unavailable, just by the sheer number of services dependent on it.

The same applies for most of the "practical realities" you noted out: Redundant infrastructure can only work as well as the software running on it. The convenience is not worth the risk.

st all the way. Quick to launch and it works well

We have already seen the effects of over-reliance on a few CDNs and cloud providers: One bad push, one ill intentioned employee and potentially entire portions of the web might become unaccessible. That by itself should have been the end of this business model long ago

And even then the packages you mentioned aren't maintained in the main repositories (I think).
