I think you nailed it. There are definite upsides to macOS, especially for less tech savvy users, but they gouge the hell out of the denizens of their walled garden.

I don't think the biggest concerns about Windows are about functionality. It works perfectly well and even has some neat features. I'm using Linux and I miss the sys + v for clipboard history. The biggest gripe themes I see are the loss of privacy coupled with increasing sales pressure for everything Microsoft.

Edit: I looked it up, of course there's a Linux equivalent to clipboard history. Added!

I don't think anybody hates real-time combat. That feels like a strawman.

I do, but just because I have a disability that makes more button presses painful and turn-based tends to have fewer per hour. I also know others who dislike real-time because they're bad at it. I agree with your sentiment completely, though. Liking real-time isn't exclusive of also enjoying turn-based.

Not op, but I love tea; however, if the restaurants I frequent started replacing their drinks with a new lineup that ultimately all boiled down to variations on Darjeeling, I'd eventually find myself tired of it.

Yeah, it's a few years away from being ready. Plus the dumb shits need to backpedal on this "cameras for everything!" idiocy.

I'm surprised the taxis aren't being driven remotely while Musk lies about their amazing AI or whatever.

That would require their self driving algorithm to actually detect an accident. I doubt it's capable of doing so consistently.

It might even make smarter decisions. The last few companies I worked for had total morons for CEOs, but they sure maximized short-term profit (by burning the company down).

Many miss that Musk's companies don't have any measure of success because of him, but instead have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn't have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.

I still like FF12, although I've never beaten it. I had no idea people disliked it.

Same. I just switched a few months back. My laptop runs cool and quiet on Linux. When I need to boot to Windows, I hear that poor cooling fan laboring even when Windows is idle, plus everything is much slower and poorly organized. Why does my context menu have 14 selections?! Going back to Linux feels like coming home.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
