I'm very new to Linux, and the two distros that seem the most appealing are Fedora, possibly Nobara, and openSUSE. Do you know why Fedora gets recommended so much more often over openSUSE? I'd like to narrow down my choice between these two. If it helps, I'd like to use KDE, and I game a lot.

I agree people can and do create without IP as a motivation, and would continue to in its absence. I believe in a perfect world where everyone's needs are met, IP may not be necessary at all. I would argue, though, that in the world we live in, the economic incentive IP creates has tangibly contributed to many valuable innovations that benefit humanity. Many people and companies rely on that incentive to be able to fund the work needed to create.

What is the incentive to create and innovate FOSS? Altruism? I'm genuinely asking. Maybe I don't know enough about the movement.

Just because intellectual property can be voluntarily relinquished to great effect doesn't mean the option to retain it should be abolished.

It says the story took place in 2020. And that it played "Most games" on medium settings. 30-40 fps is playable to a lot of people. I'm inclined to believe them.

It's displays correctly for me in Boost.

It's really only creepy old dudes I get it from. It seems pretty genuine most of the time. These comments are more frequent and more egregious with my women coworkers, though, as one might expect.

I agree with the sentiment, but I, a man, actually have customers tell me to smile more weirdly often working retail.

Chilled drinks hold on to carbonation much better. I would vote for cold, personally.
