We should definitely be switching to the specification in RFC 6214. IPoACv6 is the latest standard.

IPv6 is great, but NAT is quite functional and is prolonging the demise of IPv4.

Puppy Linux was my first ever Linux distro. Great memories.

Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.

And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft's valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.

Toner is tiny plastic particles, but ink can be made of various biodegradable dies and ink cartridges can be more easily refilled. Toner tends to be more economical than ink, but for the same reason that it is less environmentally friendly: Plastic particles don't dry up or biodegrade. Additionally, toner cartridges print more pages before needing to be replaced.

Ink is also supposedly more environmentally friendly than toner.

Lol, it's kinda sad how personally you're taking OP's opinion about Mint's UX. Time to touch some grass.

OP didn't talk shit though, they explained their experience in a pretty fair and neutral way. Don't take criticisms against Linux so personally.

Your arguments aren't really addressing the points that OP made, though. They aren't saying they expected everything to work just like Windows, they are saying they expected everything to just work. Any system that requires tinkering for basic stable functionality should be considered experimental and not ready for production.

If you disagree you are falling prey to dogmatic OS fundamentalism. Acknowledging insufficiencies helps improve Linux, while rejecting such criticism prolongs the amount of time the majority of people write it off as unusable as a desktop operating system.
