Yes, NeWS (Network extensible Window System) from Sun Microsystems but it hasn’t been maintained for years and had commercial licensing fees, and DirectFB used in embedded systems.

And as others mentioned Mir from Canonical which now implements the Wayland protocol.

During the early days of Pulse Audio. Sound sometimes would stop working for inexplicable reasons.

Breaking news: “Unexpected turn of events! Man willing to murder women and children overseas found to be willing to rape women at home!”

Ideological and practical reasons. It does everything I want how I want and doesn’t get in the way.

Shame what happened to the bicycles

I expect an uptick every time a major Windows update does something users don’t want. After the uptick some might go back to Windows or switch to Mac. But otherwise it will be a very slow and steady growth for GNU+Linux. I don’t think GNU+Linux will pass 10% desktop OS market share before 2035, it might even take longer.

I use a ReactOS vm to play Command and Conquer Red Alert. I haven’t tried the games you mentioned but they should work if they work in Wine.

A better world is possible but it is taking too long and too many are dying, and it isn’t inevitable.

Palestine’s current head of state has recognized Israel and the two state solution since the Oslo Accords. Israel still hasn’t and has continued to occupy the West Bank since 1967.

OP forgot the racist propaganda against Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, that’s despite Japan being a US vassal and a capitalist state.

I agree that Westerners hate China because it is a successful socialist state but they would still hate it just because it is a successful East Asian state.

WebKit has Apple behind it and Blink has Google. There’s your answer. Even Microsoft realized it can’t maintain a web engine anymore.

Try to first switch the programs you are using to ones that are available on Linux, e.g. use Krita or GIMP instead of Photoshop, and LibreOffice or OnlyOffice instead of Microsoft Office. If that works for you then you know you can switch.

I am currently using two on two different distros on two different computers. Cinnamon and KDE Plasma.

Has the UK learned from it?

Forced the Chinese into opium addiction.

Gave Palestine to the Zionists.

As everyone knows, DPRK controls the media.

What if it were AMD/Intel but with FOSS firmware? rms uses a ThinkPad x200 with GNU Boot.

Otherwise I don’t know how mature RISC V laptops are if they even exist.

In China they have the Kaihong BotBook which runs OpenHarmony (Apache v2 license) and has an ARM processor. I don’t know if importing let alone using an open source OS more obscure than GNU+Linux is an option for you.

If money was no object I’d book a ticket to China and get me a MateBook Fold. Though whether HarmonyOS will work for me and whether GNU+Linux is supported are unknowns that make me hesitant if I ever had the money.

This is where you are wrong, at least for now. Trump Phone is never getting made, it was all a scheme to get money from gullible people.

If I were to pick a US celebrity it would be RuPaul.

I’m intrigued that he also picked a company that makes it products in China instead of the Trump Phone. It should be out by now… Right?
