I think the point of my comment is being missed a bit here friend. Servers and backend use Linux, sure. The actual number of Linux users is likely under reported as you say.

But I have yet to see Linux used as a workstation OS in a place of business. Every doctor, insurance broker, banker, registry, and retail place I've visited were using Windows machines to access their infrastructure. If Windows creates vulnerabilities at entry and exit points it can still compromise information.

I ended up switching to Gnome because KDE would always feel a bit jank to me. Something about it always feels slightly off, animations not working properly or being choppy like my desktop had an unstable framerate. Might just be it fighting with Nvidia, but I don't have several hundred bucks lying around to upgrade my card and switch to AMD...

Kind of odd seeing the massive hate boner the community seems so have for Gnome, at least we have options for desktop environments at all.

Sounds like Calgary to me. They locked all the train shelters one year so that the homeless couldn't use them... or anyone else... in -40C...

Everyone is free to enjoy the holidays, working retail kind of sucked the life out of it for me personally.

Better testing, and people are getting their kids tested more instead of beating the fuck out of them until they "behave" might have something to do with it.

That's the big "what if" that hangs over everything isn't it?

The one thing Google still has over Duck for me at this point is reddit results. So much niche information is stored on that site, but they've blocked anyone other than Google from crawling the site so other engines can't index past the point they changed that policy.

Regardless of us using Linux on our home computers, most businesses and services use Windows machines. Your information is likely still stored on Windows machines elsewhere if you interact with the world at all.

With that in mind, it's worth being aware of Windows security problems when they come up.

I got one because the idea of having kids has always filled me with a keen sense of dread. Any time I hear that someone is expecting a child my first thought is "oh no I'm so sorry" before saying the expected congratulations.

Both my partner and I don't like or want kids, why risk accidents happening?

You sure must be fun at parties.

They'd be right at home in Alberta, our government bends over backwards to stop going green and boost corporate dollars!
