It is a currency just like any other. It is created via virtual mining (the more work you do the higher chance you strike a vein). It's value is purely speculative. There are more bitcoin scams that legitimate uses.

I think that's called "winning" lol

Don't you fucking use that slur in public

The people are the probe

Oh and leave a bad review so other people won't make the same mistake!

Rocking my second Thinkpad with full Linux, it has been a very pleasant experience both times. Sadly, had to switch a year back to from E15 to T16 because the keyboard started failing and it wasn't servicable from my side. Still works with external one though.

Linux is heavily used on servers. Losing server sector means a huge chunk of revenue.

It is entirely possible to lock down computer parts to only run Windows and signed drivers. However, the sheer amount of available computer parts, open sourced hardware, widely understood technologies, and not enough monopoly makes this unfeasible for anyone to really try to implement (yet).

If Intel started doing Windows only, they would lose so much revenue from big corporations and data centers it would ruin them, and everyone would just buy AMD instead. Consumer market in computer sector is secondary.

For phones, you really do not have enough alternatives. You choose between evil and more evil. Think of it as Linux in it's starting days - missing features that makes it unusable for the common folk. Linux phones haven't matured yet, that's why you have to choose between feature rich vs heavily degraded user experience, as opposed to minor inconvenience of not being able to run some apps.

Didn't see on Reddit, but also ate it and realized the second time I saw the headline lol.

The most third-world country of the first-world countries.

Hopefully the damage is done and Canadians keep at not buying USA goods, most power to them.

Realistic games do not quite count, because the controls are complicated by nature and learning them is the gameplay.
