Exactly. You don't inherit debt, because you can't inherit stuff the person was only borrowing.

I don't know actually. I'm sure there are open attempts to convert cars to electric. But if you mean something like level 1-3 autonomy, I would assume it would have to be approved by a regulating body, and I don't think any open projects would have seeked that level of approval yet. It's one thing for someone to root their phone and their camera doesn't work, it's another if they root their car and cause an accident.

I assumed from your title that you, like myself, are more concerned about the fact that EVs all seem to be "smart", and cloud connected, and effectively hardware as a service to spy on you, and prevent repairs, and have software lockouts of features.

Like TVs, I think there's no incentive for the companies with the ability to make dumb devices to actually make them. Adding all this functionality is unfortunately what people expect.

I have seen a lot of people say they moved from Manjaro to Endeavour (including myself), but I don't think the two are trying to solve the same thing. Manjaro wanted to create a more stable version of arch (and had some shortcomings that ended up being deal breakers for many people), but endeavour just wants to be a more convenient way to install arch.

I would recommend Fedora, Debian, or Mint. I've also heard good things about OpenSUSE.

Also, alternative to running in a VM, put ventoy on a USB drive, then drop isos for all distros on it, and live boot them one after the other to see how you like them.

No no, keep going, you're so right. It sounds like you agree that demonstrating competency before being granted a driver's license is useful? And you agree that revoking these licenses when they have demonstrated that they are a risk to public safety is also working out for us?

Sorry, you can't propose an analogy and expect others to think about it for themselves, but then when presented with a nearly identical analogy, expect others to spend time explaining it to you.

It also acts like $16 billion is both not enough, and a cartoonishly large amount. Meanwhile, Activision blizzard was just purchased by msft for $69 billion.

That's like saying, replace "video games" with "cars and alcohol" to understand the MADD argument.

Nice, indeed it looks like it does! Wonder if that installer could be packaged and licensed in a way that more distros could use it.

Found the Texan!

Something I've never checked for but...are there any linux installers that run from within windows? Shrink the windows partition, create a linux partition, populate it, install grub, and tell the user to reboot and choose linux? I think general lack of good ext4 fs support in windows might make things difficult, but you don't actually need to do that part from within windows. There could be a second installer that's triggered the first time they boot from grub.

I feel like a well supported installer like that would dramatically lower the barrier to entry. It could make dual booting windows a breeze for anyone who knows how to run an installer and reboot, which is what people actually want.

Because corporations wielding the govt and media to turn the middle class against the lower class is an American past time.
