It definitely has gotten easier but for the time being it at least requires an expert to pick a version that is easy to use and you still require some skill to install.
You need a big company to introduce linux to the masses, nothing wrong with that. Once someone has gained some skill they can go for the more difficult OSses.
yes but it did require one to realize that a lot of data (entire search history) was basically being pumped into the amazon search machine which was less then ideal
Let me put it like this: if anyone is interested for making Linux on desktop succeed, that's Canonical , Google, and maybe Red Hat and Novell ( with SUSE and OpenSUSE ). There's other players too. IBM, Oracle - those guys have potential and money , but they are far more interested in Linux for cloud and enterprise
@ByteCommander Apple only allows deferment of upgrades too, either by not giving tge option to decline or by forcing the update by making apps "incompatible"
@Zacharee1 I got my grandma a little " no brand" laptop with an ssd, a modified kubuntu OS ext. for 300 euro. It just requires someone to put in the effort.
But Canonical went in the right direction and made Amazon search opt-out, unlike the others who just collect more and more data and restrict their users further as well.
@Zacharee1 I am not putting Apple too far above Microsoft in my personal trustworthness ranking therefore though. And for other reasons.
anyone got a little weight for the enter key? Someone decided to limit the speed by which I can skip through their EULA and after 5 minutes I'm only at 10%

@ByteCommander I guess they weren't very noticeable when i used to have my actual picture as avatar. But yes, i do wear glasses. My vission is sort of bad - stuff starts getting blurry at 30 cm ( or 1' for us American folks ) distance
yes but if you vission is only sharp up to 30cm and you probably also lose soem of that distance to the first (for me 20 cm) then you can only really see sharp for 10 cm distance right?
the dude is not organized, I was interested in an individual room (which is what he announced) and he said there's a guy who talked to him so I'd need to share. Note that the individual room was 700, and he wants each one to pay 450 to share
I talked to a woman renting a room, which is on hold, there is a sort of a frat I was about to close the deal with, but the dudes there are taking a bit too long to give me an answer
(yeah i could just chmod 777 my entire windows partition, but things like git fail because of no chmod power)
(I guess i could also just chown the entire mountpoint, but that opens the possibility for accidental errors. so, just mounting my userspace as owned by me through a bind-to-self is a good alternative)
@KazWolfe that also doesn't help if root ultimately has to do the mounting, unless you're using a mountpoint in fstab the system can and likely will change perms on those mount points
i can change perms in mount options, but every file is owned by root which is not good. i had all files at 777 before, which was not a good idea for lots of reasons.
Yup, that's the confusion . . . I really wasn't paying attention to your username changes, so your old one stuck in my memory. That's how I confused you and that user
by the way, I brainstormed a bit today and came up with an idea for the nav-bar, Article will open a submenu when clicked with two options: By Date and By Tags (the blog would have some tags like "C" "JavaScript" "Ruby")
um . . . well that's an interesting role reversal . . . usually the situation outside of internet is that somebody shows up not-dressed to a costume party . . .
@Zacharee1 yup, completely black looks a bit odd. I think neutral colors are in the right direction though, I like it, but it's not exactly how I want it yet
the nav-bar is great IMHO, but the rest is a little off
