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.

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.

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

The exact group which is officially declared as "evil" does not matter. Using a scapegoat is the point. Hiding complex problems and present "simple solutions". People are scared of problems they cannot solve themselves. They want someone to solve them.

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

That doesn't make sense, because Android is quite open. You can literally download apps everywhere from the internet.

The only thing that you're not allowed to do is to take advantage of the Google store and circumvent their microtransaction system. If you want to have own microtransactions, do it on yourself.

No wait. They should elect Putin, then invite him for a celebration.

Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI...
