I’d thoroughly erased it’s existence from my mind it seems. It’s the reason I went back upstream to Debian many moons ago.

I assume 6.6.6 will be the LTS release?

They do it all the time, but then ‘balance’ it with something terrible. (these aren’t in chronological order)

• Upstart - good idea.

• PulseAudio wayyyy too early - bad idea.

• Unity - good idea

• Mir (display server) - bad idea

You all want me to feel the pain, yes you want me to understand it - so that I may show others! Hazzah! Excelsior!

Third time’s a charm for Vyatta/eBox?

I don’t see any paid support subscriptions yet, so maybe it’ll work this time.

Mao was a dictator, he’s exactly the type of person who would be in the files.

A billionaire is just a capitalist dictator.

I’m willing to bet $100 that Mao would also be on that list…

JamesDSP is nice too.

It’s not at all like MacOS.

KDE is closer to finder than Gnome Shell.

It’s not so much just an aesthetic, you can make KDE and even GNOME look much more like MacOS than eOS will and KDE can even to an extent act like Finder (GNOME not so much, they’re too ideologically different)

But Pantheon is designed to act like Finder. (whilst trying to not infringe on Apple’s designs) It’s the closest thing functionally to the modern Finder outside OpenSTEP.

It’s a lot easier to switch Distros than switching from Windows or MacOS to Linux in the first place.

But you’re still going to be reinstalling the OS and all your programs again.

However - You can try most Linux distros without installing them, like give it a go for a night, if you don’t like it at all, nothing has changed. If you do, maybe try another night (and another) if you really like it, make the choice.

Does Gnome have a proper file picker yet?

So then USA isn’t capitalist either, since most of the companies are publicly owned as a principle aspect of their economy.

The US working class are in control of US as much as the Chinese working class are in control of China.

Bar Cuba every country you mentioned is Capitalist…

China is speedrunning late-state capitalism as we speak…

Thanks for the input.

‘socialist countries’ is a misnomer only used by Americans - Europe, UK, Aus, NZ - we’re Mixed Market economies.

Capitalism is still the driver of the economy, but we collectively realised that humans must come first. I should probably have said this is what I mean by capitalism, not US style corporatism.

Until energy independence can truly be solved (and make no mistake, the fight against both Renewables AND Nuclear is a fight against our base freedoms) we’re stuck with rationing and capitalism has been the least worst way to ration limited energy.

If you have a job

Where you work remotely on your own computer connecting to a corporate network.

That doesn’t affect most of us with jobs…
