"Don't shout at her or call her down. You just make it seem like you're having the better time."
With plenty of cat food, higher fps and faster system responsiveness.
I have every episode of Futurama stored on my rig, and I fire up an mpv playlist when I'm in the mood for some comfort TV. For me, it is never unexpected.
More like people food. Do you even cat?
Yes, but the higher fps is still on the roof. Which is one of the main problems.
seduce it to come down with optimized drivers, vulkan and native ports, then we get the cat.
Or like my dog not wanting to come inside... I just say "I'm gonna win" and he bolts inside. Can't handle the thought of being a loser.
This article makes some good points. I especially agree with the points about getting kids to use Linux while they're in school and having more hardware vendors offering hardware at all price ranges that come pre-installed with Linux.
Just switching to Linux in schools is not that easy though. My math teacher (who also manages everything computer related on that school) once said he wanted to switch everything to Linux a few years ago, but couldn't because all the other teachers at the school (who hardly know anything about computers for the most part) voted against that move.
Also, many teachers (and students) on our school live and breath Microsoft Office and categorically refuse any alternatives. Even if LibreOffice usually is entirely sufficient for all realistic uses, there is just something that makes everyone think it's vastly inferior. I think it's because many people still think that LibreOffice = OpenOffice and because OpenOffice has a bad stigma when talking about compatibility with other programs like MS Office. I know those compatibility issues come from Microsoft having used a proprietary format which OpenOffice couldn't do anything about, but since MS Office already had the bigger user base back then, everyone just came to the conclusion that everything that's not MS Office is bad and probably breaks all your documents (even though it actually was the other way around).
From a technical standopoint that's a lot better now in LibreOffice, but the vast majority still uses MS Office because they're afraid of compatibility issues.
Libreoffice still isn't very good when you have to switch between libreoffice and ms office. From ms to libreoffice is fine, but otherwise it's just horrible. I'm running onlyoffice integrated into nextcloud now because of it, since I have to use ms office way too often.
That's Mircosofts fault. LO has put in a TON of time to decipher the MO formats, but MO doesn't actually read conformant OOXML properly.
It's so people will complain about LO and stick with MO.
Thus people are still writing vba scripts in 2019. I'm sure one of these years the general public will grok open formats / standards compliance right?
The trick is not switching between them, make the switch to LibreOffice and never go back. OpenDocument formats are safer to use anyways because they are open and therefore can be freely used indefinitely even if LibreOffice falls apart and goes defunct and is no longer supported in future OSes. If MS Word goes defunct or isn't supported by a particular platform, you're basically out of luck. It's the same situation with Outlook. If Microsoft hasn't created an Outlook client for your platform, you're just out of luck, you can't create your own.

Easier said than done, that's why I'm running onlyoffice instead of libreoffice..
Libre office is also utterly horrid when it comes to high DPI, something Ms office nails. It needs to get over that hurdle if it wants to be used on modern monitors.

People mostly used to think a lot more highly of expensive software that they got to use for free as being better than "free software".
In the early days of open-source, there was a lot of confusion about the difference between shareware and open-source, believe it or not. And there was confusion because RMS insisted on the terminology "free software" for ideological reasons. That's why the term "open source" was brought into more common use, promoted to a significant extent by ESR.
Microsoft stoked the fears about compatibility by changing the default font metrics in Office 2013, it seems. More info and fixes here. That was very insidious of them, but a turnabout would be fair play.
Companies like IBM spread the confusion and conflated open source with free software. Open source != free software but the confusion is beneficial to large companies.
There is plenty of open source that isn't free, for instance the Unreal Engine.
The terms started to get confused in the early 90s. I don't know much about the time period personally but I can't imagine shareware was a common place thing that early on.
That's not open-source, it's "source available". I don't see Epic making any false claims about it. I also don't remember IBM making any false or misleading claims in the past.
