But contrary to Linux or even Windows (unless they pull some hardware requirement shit again) you need to switch to another OS and not simply do a release upgrade.
LTS just means staying on the same release and guaranteed support for that time which is important for businesses. As a consumer you can always just do a release upgrade.
Since most businesses rely on Windows anyway, that's pretty much irrelevant for this discussion. They cannot use Chromebooks either.
Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don't scream code quality. I prefer yay.
I hate the Apple approach of "90% of users don't understand this, so we won't allow it". That's exactly the reason I cannot use Apple products. I've always argued exactly like you - offer expert settings instead. That requires more testing for their QA but PCs are still around, so it's obviously doable.
It's not about not respecting them, it's about the supposedly boring game play. That's why everyone is looking for good healers - everyone wants to play DD instead (even though healers often have bigger numbers).
Right. That's one major reason not to buy real estate in Germany for renting it out. Tenants can basically destroy your property and there's hardly anything you can do about it. There are other kinds of assets to build wealth though.
Germany is also last when it's about ownership in general though. Germans have pretty low net worth considering the country's economic power because they love their Girokonto and their Sparbuch (aka money gets eaten by inflation).
It has been the case for well over a decade but for free web stuff. Philips Hue lights are expensive and still they pull this shit. That's something that just started quite recently.
Isn't it ironic how you need instructions now to install Windows with a bearable level of bloat? Kinda like installing Arch just for uninstalling/skipping instead of installing.
