In the server space, both FreeBSD and Linux systems are well-regarded. Linux caught up since that post and receives more support now, obviously, but I wouldn't flinch when encountering FreeBSD (or other *BSDs for that matter) as a server.

As for Windows... yeah, just look at the news regarding that...

I don't think the reason people liked the full switch to NT is because of GUI "enforcement", but rather that x86 DOSs had some historical limitations, both because of the OS and because of peculiarities regarding the IBM PC platform (like "conventional", "extended" and "high" memory, or many DOS programs expecting real mode operation) which NT and its HAL abstracted away, making it more stable, though not as stable as any base *nix system.

Well, I used to think like you too, having only active tabs I needed and bookmarking important stuff.

But now I have tabs, which are important, but not as important to bookmark them permanently. So I persist tabs across sessions now, because else my bookmarks are way too cluttered for my tastes.

"meine", because the plural follows the feminine :)

And you are thinking about cases, since it's a noun.

The US uses a weird mix of RON and MON ratings (printed on the buttons) - 88 on their rating would be 91 RON, which is still very low for more modern engines, but not gut-wrenching at least.

I know it's more a hypothetical thing, but have you tried monitoring your processes as soon as you turn off your monitor?

I recently upgraded from my W541 to a T470 I got for cheap. And I only upgraded due to hardware decoding features being a tad bit newer on the T470 and USB-C being kinda cool to utilise.

It's a known issue.

Generally, the KDE team is very aware of some Wayland issues. https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues

This is the only part I despise of forum culture like MDL or the likes.

If you have a solution, or even better: if you have written software or a guide for this, please just publish it online.

Because its basis was an FOSS package manager, which in typical Microsoft fashion got EEE'd.

From an colleague of mine, who bought an M1 Macbook Pro when they were new; he told me that there was a Wine fork (don't know the name sadly) for Apple silicon which kinda worked with most (older) Steam games, not as nice as Proton on x86-64 Linux, but good enough for his game tastes. Don't know if it's still maintained or not...

Yes, I understand that GNOME (3+) has a place in Linux/*nix world and that, from a common user's perspective, it might be enough or even more intuitive than Windows and MacOS ever were. Blind hating never helped anyone, especially in FOSS.

For me, as someone outside the common user's realm, the weird aftertaste of internal dev drama and their decisions which features are "needed" and which are not needed (server-side decorations, tray-items, etc.) deter me from using GNOME more than the annual one-month tryout ("Maybe it isn't that limiting to me as I thought?").
