Valid criticism. It’s good to get an idea of what’s going on in the media landscape. It’s not good as a high quality source.

Getting different perspectives is very valuable for sure. You learn which inconvenient facts are left out by each side.

ground news is really good.

Your minimum estimate should be your actual estimate times three.

macOS is a great app for that too but I think it’s a bit more of a hassle to use it for a desktop application.

Negative Karma on a post means people cared enough about your writing to downvote it.

Yes, very easy > explore > hashtags > select follow icon in top right

There are hashtags on Mastodon as well.

Twitter is people based as well, no?

This is for the staff, not the patients.

You need a couple of people to follow, then it’s great! I met most of my Twitter folks on conferences and such. The majority has now moved to Mastodon. It’s mostly programming folks.

You can use Zoom without an account, just a link. Signal requires a smart phone and number to sign up. Zoom also supports far bigger groups for video than Signal. Not an alternative really.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Having different keyboard shortcuts takes some getting used to for sure. However it’s not like Excel is the end all be all of spreadsheet usability. Business often depend on some idiosyncratic excel sheet, that doesn’t work in Calc in the first place.

LibreOffice isn’t terrible. The Writer is actually pretty okay. The spreadsheet and presentation software feels like something from 15 years ago though.

Well, it depends on what your cases are. It’s great that Linux can fulfill your needs.

Sure. Everyone’s requirement for a desktop is different. Blender is very good for sure and Krita is decent. However for painting and drawing Krita doesn’t hold a candle to Procreate on an iPad. As for games, if you’re not a super serious gamer, there’s tons of stuff that runs on Linux nowadays for sure.

My phone records 4K video in HDR, which I then can neither view nor edit properly on Linux. Do you have VLC 3 running with working HDR support?

Some people need to use actually good productivity applications on their computers.

LibreOffice, Inkscape, OpenShot, GIMP, etc. just aren’t particularly good. No HDR support is embarrassing at this day and age.

I have installed Linux more often than Windows and MacOS and it’s not even my main operating system. What Linux offers me is a bunch of similar desktop environments all running the same mediocre applications. I want to get stuff done, not fiddle with window managers and packet managers all day.

Installing Linux to express your feelings about Microsoft might be emotionally therapeutic, but that’s about it.

Protip: Install Windows Server as your desktop OS. It comes without all that crap.
