AFAIK it already did happen to Linux, it's just not as widespread (both Crowdstrike on Linux, and desktop Linux).

Maybe that perception is skewed by America's culture of having ridiculously large cars. European cars were always smaller, but nowadays it's getting pretty hard to buy something other than an SUV here, too.

Considering my country famously refused to take part in the Iraq war and declared me unfit for service during draft (which was compulsory), that would be quite strange.

My first thought is that it sounds like a portmanteau of rhubarb and fubar. Which is bad.

That depends on your definition of "united", doesn't it? The United States of Mexico or America are definitely "united" into one country, i.e. there aren't really any serious secessionist movements, nearly all citizens speak the country's main language etc. The USA are politically divided, but the divide doesn't follow state borders that closely and many states are still swing states or flipped in the last 1-3 decades.

Knowledge of the two official languages is largely determined by geography. Nearly 95% of Quebecers can speak French, but only 40.6% speak English. In the rest of the country, 97.6% of the population is capable of speaking English, but only 7.5% can speak French.[89]

Jesus fuck, those numbers are abysmal.

Implying Greece doesn't also do this.

It's mostly just a recent issue that popped up. I'm currently running Ubuntu 20.04 (i.e. version from 2020, there have been two major releases since then) and since I use LUKS, resizing the boot partition is going to be fairly complicated, if I can figure it out at all.

Nothing. No money for investments then or now, which is also why I never kept up enough with stocks, crypto etc. to be able to cheat the market as a one-time time traveller. Plus I have several medical issues (then and now) that remain unsolved mysteries.

Only thing I can think of is using a bigger boot partition when I installed reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch about 5 years ago.
