i'm going to try to elaborate: yes, anyone can pop a (modern) linux install cd and go through the steps to get it to work on most any desktop computers today. however, more often than not problems crop up that cannot be solved without deep dives into the system

if you feel like coming into my mentions to disprove me: don't. *I* have a computer engineering degree, i use linux daily both on servers and on desktops, and i don't think it's a good end-user desktop OS.

i have unkind opinions towards linux and how it purports to replace end-user OSes such as windows and mac os while containing integral parts to its functioning that are completely unaccessible to anyone short of a computer engineering degree

is there a way to make linux programs not hang the entire desktop when they hang or is that just how linux is? case in point is firefox hanging ubuntu on large JS loops forcing the computer to need to be restarted because desktop control cannot be regained

Whenever anybody does the "What if X property was anime!?" they just slap on stereotypical anime eyes and spiky hair, regardless of what genre the source material is. Anime Homer would realistically look like a Shin-chan character or something.

This, from Judith Butler, is entirely correct—but @guardian@twitter.com removed it after transphobic bigots complained.

by these values a "hobbyist" is just a "professional" that's not making enough money for their work to be viewed as important.
