I could use windows if there's no horrible bugs, telemetry, flaky optimizations, shitty I/O, horrible memory management, dreadful number of services, awful boot time because of the trollercoaster of the system files and... wait... And I have to pay for this?

" True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want."
-- Larry Wall

This can be applied in many areas of FOSS, and I can say we don't have true greatness.

Comfy.

It took me some decades to discover that after level 20 comes the "Pro" level (the one you could choose pressing game-select).

I can abstract movies with absurd scripts, but geez, stop using virus as a solution to win a war against an alien army. Why the hell they think it's a good idea?

People love to talk about fragmentation and stuff, but do you want to know what really damage open source communities? Cliques. That's the eternal disease of open-source communities.

My Panasonic A1WX MSX2+ will have some love soon.

Glad I'm not the only one that sees that. https://duncanlock.net/blog/2022/04/06/using-windows-after-15-years-on-linux/

Talking about Ukraine, I don't know too much music from there. Actually, by name I know two: Flëur and Obiymy Doschu, and they're really nice.

I will start cleaning the house from linux that I still run from the older kernels, I can't afford having unbootable machines from the time being. Everything will be eventually migrated to FreeBSD where things work without the "suprisingly unbootable new features".

So that's it. From the linux kernel point of view, this will not be changed and from kernel 5.16, I have two machines that can't boot because the new concurrent positioning ranges (a feature that makes no sens to me). In the last 25 years, this is the first time I can boot a linux, what a joke.
