After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad

Considering most mmos don’t support Linux
Only the ones that ship malware don't work on linux.
as well as some games anticheat breaking seemingly randomly on updates
Yes, malware, kernel level anticheat is malware.
on top of the better performance for Nvidia gpus
This is almost completely resolved.
I understand people want their malware, but we should call it what it is.

Not denying kernal level anticheat is essentially malware but for games that require it you have no choice, even running them on virtual machines doesn't work in some instances. The nvidia performance has improved but is still a decent difference depending on the games.

Oh, one of the first things I did was group policy edit anything to do with tracking, ads, or AI.

How the fuck do you think I think Unix is one system? What the living fuck is wrong with you, child? I have been around since AT&T UNIX was a fucking thing, you baby. Infant. Child. Poor little fucking hateful, spiteful, baby who can't stand using something that is popular and has to cling to something that he thinks earns him some sort of fake nerd cred. Grow the goddamn up.
When you speak of something in general terms, like "UNIX", you're not implying it's one thing. This is how language works. Which you would have learned if you actually got to high school and passed your fucking English classes.
You're just a troll and not worth anyone's time, and you're trying to make me into a troll when all I'm doing is telling you the actual history and truth behind operating systems.
Here's what you do: you re-read everything I've said, and you don't reply. You take some fucking time to think things over and analyze your life and your pathetic infatuations with things that aren't "popular" because you feel inferior attaching yourself to something everyone else is doing. Several days.
Then you come back and you apologize. I will be happy to accept it.
Otherwise, just shut the fuck up if you're not willing to do that. I don't want to hear it.

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. The general inaccuracy/untrustworthiness of LLMs makes me very uncomfortable in their use for data processing and transformations. I'd rather take a while to get it right than to potentially hand off a CSV with glaring problems due to use of an LLM.

Plenty of Afghan goat farmers have been around since ATnT Unix was a thing, this doesn't mean they know anything about Unix.
You've made a lot of factual errors showing that you don't know what you're talking about, you also haven't specified even once which specific period hides under "that time" in your claims.
You've claimed that Minix ever was a popular system, you've claimed that "BSD" is some alternative to Unix separate from it while it's simply Berkeley Unix that dropped the Unix trademark due to litigation.
Solaris, HP/UX, Irix are Unix System V, which was sort of a merger of ATnT Unix and BSD.
So BSDs are literally just Unix (Unix of Theseus so to say, code from BSD that moved to commercial Unix remained there, but code from ATnT remaining in BSD had to be rewritten after the lawsuits, I've read it wasn't much).
Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems is also one of the main people behind BSD.
Also throwing insults doesn't make you more persuasive, when you are not even close to knowing the subject. I'm trying to help you, but I don't want to spend more effort.

Yeah, but if you look at the whole picture and not just specs, the hardware isn't priced that badly. Like you said, a similar screen would only be found on high end devices and I would argue you can't even get a trackpad that is as good as the one on a MacBook from any other manufacturer. You also get a pretty decent webcam and speakers and the aluminium chassis is exceptionally good too. If you don't care about those things then I understand looking mainly at specs, but if you do these things add up to a really good user experience.
Don't get me wrong though. I don't want to shill for Apple here. There are some things that are just obscenely expensive. The cost of RAM
and storage upgrades is an insult. Or the Mac Pro wheels or basically anything "small" (adapters, the Apple cloth etc.). -
Likely you'll have to pay for some AI service, because the executives' children cried after watching an old sci-fi, that "we can't have intelligent conversations with out computers in 2016 in the real world, while in 2015 in the movie adaptation of Don't Build The Torment Nexus, there was Torment Nexus the intelligent and smart computer".

Sure, if you're looking for exactly what Apple offers, then they offer a decent value. But if you want any changes, you're SOL.
I personally don't care about half the things they ship standard (screen, camera, chassis, trackpad), I really care about things they charge extra for (RAM, storage), and I like some things offered by other manufacturers (TrackPoint + mouse buttons from Thinkpad, repairability, keyboard feel, etc). I also don't really like macOS, even after using it for years at work.
For me, they offer poor value. For someone else, they offer good value. It all comes down to what you value.

Kate is an OS app. When you install your distro, it's there.
I don't think any of that matters, tbh.
Well then you'd be wrong about that.

Not the article, I meant the comment section
