I'm a total newb when I use GUIs. I need max automation... I don't really know how to do this. Also.. I never had issues with drivers. And on Windows there is almost nothing installed. You need to install stuff by using a browser .. horrible.

Every time someone cries about hardware not being supported, you find out they didn't care to look up compatibility. You can also ask the vendor, if you're lost.

It's like you buy a Diesel car and complain that it it's annyoing because it breaks when you fill in gasoline.

I noticed my posts don't get submitted when I swear. I also don't post in this case, because sometimes you need to swear to make a point.

My HDDs run 24/7 without spin up btw. I'm just talking about the costs. My drives don't fail that much as yours. The recent drives that failed were WD Blue that were very old and only used for backups. And yes, all backups were still readable, even the drive was reported as failed. Compare it to SSDs that often fail "spectacularly".

There is a lot of power to waste for the savings you made, when not buying expensive SSDs (20€ a year is not much). Where we use HDDs, we don't care about noise. Durability? We use huge RAID systems with lots of redundancy.

I personally like to swap new drives after 5 years to avoid failures. So when you find a 16 TB SSD for 350€, you send me a message.

That's why it's also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.

Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can't be, either.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with snap. Canonical probably tried to show vendors a way how to distribute software commercially. But vendors are on the level of cavemen and don't know shit about Linux even after serving a solution. Or they simply don't care about building up a market opportunity.

I don't want to defend Ubuntu. I don't like Ubuntu especially, but it might be a simple explanation.

It is a good way to have a fire hazard at home, if you don't know what you're doing.

It was getting better after the circuit board came off. (also: gifs that end too soon)

Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
