I did never say anything against it, I just said why that's not feasible for everyone.

BTW: If you don't want to use FreeCAD, Fusion360 works completely fine in Linux using this helper. Again: this is not to say that you should not use FreeCAD, it's just more information for other people reading this thread.

sadly if you do PC gaming you are sometimes forced to use windows. If all your friends play League of Legends it doesn't help you to say "but DotA 2 runs on Linux", you need windows or you can't play with your friends. Same goes for lots of Multiplayer games like GTA Online.

All the tools and stuff I agree. But for games there just is no option other than Windows sometimes

Yet they are fine with using Windows 11, which looks completely different to Windows 7 or XP. They complained in the beginning just as much but then they were fine with it. People get used to change, they just hate it in the beginning.

There used to be skins for KDE that made it look and feel 1:1 like Windows XP, I don't know if these things still exist. If yes, there you have it: Just make the system behave like Windows and they won't notice a difference. They only have to use Office, Mail and print files anyways. Most other tools they use are browser-based and will feel the same way

First sentence I already thought this sounds 100% like an LLM

Usually you also know in which direction is front on a plane lol

On a ship it might get more confusing sometimes, so I see the reason there at least somewhat

Yes, you can't use Copilot to generate files in your code structure way if you start from scratch. I usually start by coding a skaffold and then use Copilot to complete the rest, which works quite good most of the time. Another possibility is to create comment templates that will give instructions to Copilot. So every new Go file starts with coding structure comments and Copilot will respect that. Junior Devs might also respect that, but I am not so sure about them

I use ChatGPT for Go programming all the time and it rarely has problems, I think Go is more niche than Kotlin

You can continue to used supervised, the difference is that it's no longer officially supported. TBH, almost all supervised installations weren't officially supported anymore, so nothing big changes

I do own a Fairphone 5 as my new company phone, I used an iPhone 13 mini before. Sadly I have to say that I don't agree with the "they are great", while a Fairphone 5 is a totally capable and usable phone it lacks a lot of the lifestyle appeal that a modern smartphone brings. The Fairphone is quite laggy, the camera is not very good and since Google focusses a lot on the pixel line the stock android experience on the Fairphone lacks a lot of comfort features. I would still recommend it for everyone willing to look beyond these downsides and just uses their phone for communication. Sadly that's not the majority of people

You can still share the STL though :)

And for the OpenSCAD files I saw so far, the most important variables are usually well documented with comments at the top of the file, which makes it easier for most people how to adapt the files to their needs without knowledge of coding.

I think the biggest benefit is sharing.

While you can do parametric design in Fusion, if you share it you can only share it with people using Fusion. Same with other CAD software, you are limiting the userbase.

OpenSCAD on the other hand is a slim FOS tool that anyone can download, it's not limited.
