Behold this type of person, head in the sand, who will always blame the electorate.

What's there to document? It's all there in the source code! 😜

I sync important files to s3 from a folder with awscli. Dot files and projects are in a private git repos. That's it.

If I maintained a server, I would do something more sophisticated, but installation is so dead simple these days that I could get a daily driver in working order very quickly.

It most certainly is not

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Pharmacies/drug stores in America have unique laws and ordinances that go back to prohibition. During that time, they took over the role of saloons in communities, since they were able to sell medicinal whisky.

You've got some close competition, but I think you win the most Mengele response of the thread.

I don't. I migrated to Arch in 2011 or 2012 btw. Fuck I feel old.

Yeah I see em, too, but Clark County is barely hanging on. We'll see with this next election. Fuckin white flight from Louisville is making Jeffersonville more red.

Nah Gary is really close to Chicago, and goes heavily Democrat. Western suburbs of Indianapolis are where you find high concentrations of wackadoos.

Yeah sure, a distro could start spying on users. How easy it would be would depend on their distribution model, and how willing they are to violate the GPL.

Linux is a tool that big corporate entities have profited greatly from for many years, and will continue to. Same with BSD, Apache, Docker, MySQL, Postgres, SSH...

Valve, Sys76, Framework, etc. Are proving that using Linux to serve an end user market is also profitable, and are capable of supporting enterprise use-cases.

I understand that there may be specific problems to solve wrt improving adoptability, usability, compatibility, etc., but Linux is doing more than ok within the context of the FOSS ecosystem (and increasingly without).

Your thinking is slightly skewed, IMHO. Linux doesn't have an inherent incentive to compete with MacOS or MS, and if it did, it would be subject to the same pressures that encourage bad behavior like spying on users, creating walled gardens, and so forth.
