The solution that solves ODF compatibility issues is to not allow applications that do not adhere to the standard. In other words, to explicitly disallow the use of Microsoft products. It's not by accident that MS Office products are slightly fucking up documents, it's by design.

Since many companies use MS Office, when they do a pilot to see if they can use ODF, it ends up "causing problems". If anyone tries to use it in a mostly Office based workspace, it'll also "causes problems".

MS only has very good reason to always be just subtly off, and everything to lose if they aren't.

Just be aware that windows has a bad habit of fucking up for Linux when you do. Which sounds like it shouldn't be possible, right?

Windows can claim hardware resources that it doesn't release properly, so your WiFi adapter doesn't work in Linux, but works fine in Windows. Windows also (used to, at least) "correct" a boot partition, because, I presume, it sees something "unknown". Oh, and the system clock might be off every time you switch between one and the other, because windows thinks it makes sense to write the current timezone value and not UTC.

Those kinds of things.

Puzzled myself.

ADHD meds get rid of that original issue, that executive dysfunction.

Is this an exaggeration? I ask because I don't know if I might have the wrong medication or dosage. Perhaps with late diagnoses, you not only need to combat the underlying causes that ADHD medication helps with, but also thought patterns and defensive coping mechanisms that are challenging to get rid of, as they are a result of undiagnosed ADHD?

You won't be able to use your creativity on a subject that requires focus to reach. Like trying to find a new juggling pattern.

the car does suit the aesthetic of that comic.

It... really does not. The cybertruck looks like the sad compromise of a too low polygon budget for a 80s game. The JD aesthetic is robust (*) and thick, sure, but not minimalistic.

(*) to which I mean the extent in that the Cybertruck looks robust.

Which is just a classic musky thing to do. Say some BS that barely passes the "as long as you don't know anything about what I'm talking about, then it might sound right!"-test, and simps abound to make the bullshit asymmetry even more asymmetric.

PS: I'm sorry. I have blocking filters for "Elon" and "Trump". Too many fucking morons with megaphones these days.

Wouldn't that be ABAC, not ACAB?

The last four times I've voted. I spent, on average, less than ten minutes from arriving at the place to vote, and leaving that place. And I don't mean at the booth itself. I'd say from when I parked the car, to when I left in the car... but I walked. 10 minutes (the first 3 times) and after moving, 5 minutes last time.

It's amazing how shit things can get, when enough people deliberately want to make it more shit. You know who and what I'm talking about. If not, I'd be happy to clarify.

At this point, I think the right side of the political spectrum is a different way to describe the left side of the Dunning-Kruger chart.

I appreciate that your appreciated the breakdown!

Calling people stupid and lazy in nicer words is still calling people stupid and lazy.

I think that's a bit unfair here. What I'm saying is that expectations often seems to be that "Linux should be effortless, but it isn't, so Linux sucks", and then we quickly talk past each other on which aspects we are referring to. Let me make up three categories:

For users transitioning to Linux from Windows, and ...

1. ... it shouldn't be an effort, but unfortunately sometimes is frustrating or annoying

• Hardware control, e.g. drivers. More often than not it works with less effort than on Windows, except for very new hardware, and hardware that actually requires specific software (RGB led patterns, Gaming mouse profiles, all that stuff)
• NVidia drivers can be a pain
• When dual booting and Windows manages to fuck up something in Linux, and it looks like Linux is the culprit. (E.g. restart the computer from Windows, but it doesn't release claim on hardware, which doesn't let Linux claim it, so stuff like the WiFi adapter might not work.)
• Specific software not available, like Adobe, Autodesk, etc.

2. ... is something you can get someone else to do for you, but it's just how things are, unrelated to Windows -> Linux or the other way around.

• Installing the OS -- downloading ISO, burning a bootable USB, BIOS, etc..

3. ... it's expected that you figure out / learn, and if unwilling, Linux isn't for you

• Using the OS, which at the very least, cursory knowledge of the software/package manager, and roughly how this works.
• Familiarizing yourself with KDE / Gnome, etc.

So, I assume people who just thought I was calling people lazy and dumb thought I meant categories 1. and 2. I just mean category 3. If you expect everything to be the same as Windows, and the effort required to understand the differences is too much, then only Windows will fit your needs. The impression I get is a general unwillingness to "figure stuff out". Not knowing shit is fine, complaining and not wanting to put in the effort to know stuff... how is that not being lazy?

It was intended as kind advice without any the implied judgement of calling people dumb or lazy. If you don't want to have to figure stuff out related to the third category, Linux will likely not be a good experience, or even a productive or good change. If you move to another country, you should make the effort to learn the culture. It's not a good look to complain that things are different.

If I were to try to suggest "a point" with all of this: Don't suggest to people that Linux is effortless for Windows users. Linux is immensely better, in almost every way (though mind examples in first category). But, it requires learning the basics of how shit works. It's not hard.... the information is well put together and available.

Windows has its own set of "never happen" things that would never happen on Linux. For example, without being instructed, writing a partition onto a disk with an "unknown" file system, which turned out to be disk, part of a RAID. Or simply override an existing boot partition after an update. Etc.
