  • If you look at something like fedora images, its something like fedora Linux 7.13.1-201.x64.f44, And this only gets worse once you get to something like the surface kernel

    So probably it will shorten the names to something like Fedora Linux, but then you won’t know what you want to select if anything goes wrong

    What I mean is that boot managers are like static friction: it’s a theoretical thing that simply does not impact you as long as youre moving, until the moment you stop at which point it becomes real and starts pushing back as strongly as you configured them to be

    Just make your grub wait 3 secs before booting, it isn’t worth saving that one press on the enter key





  • Its still assault, even if not sexual.

    For those who don’t understand: there’s a difference between ownership and possession. You can own a car equipped with flamethrowers as anti theft measure, but when you make it trivial to trigger those without intention that matches your response, that would be assault.

    Same applies to coworkers just with allergies, the fact that thats not what stood on the label, etc

    You can’t burn a coworker alive because he mistook your car.




  • I like being able to debug stuff.

    Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

    DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

    Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)
