IDK i think USB-C has a different role than thunderbolt does since thunderbolt is basically just PCI-E, USB-C will be wildly successful and maybe kill off lightning

I hate linux, but not because of linux, but because of the people who like it.

the apple that invented firewire was quite a bit smaller than the apple that popularized thunderbolt.

I like linux but lol if you think it'll ever be significant for the average peasant wanting to look at his handy selfies on the big computer screen (android? shut up) Also it's pretty fat-assed and developing free software in any way shape or form is like doing anything on wikipedia, if you don't got the 'tism bad you'll quit eventually of people who do

i remember having to install a kernel module in either red hat or the earliest release of fedora in order to get ntfs support. lol, just lol i was using whatever distro because it was recommended to me as the simplest at the time

VMs basically don't count because that's still using windows. As you said, the software selection and driver support is just poo poo in many fields and I doubt that'll change until big corps actually start doing their stuff on linux, which admittedly, might happen. But why bother as a normal person when you just can run windows instead

cool tree bro posted:normal people only care if their video games and calendar programs/address books work. Which they do in windows. Even the few games that actually exist natively in Linux now because of engines like unity3d etc. making it easy often feel like some kind of cheap knock-off experience with sometimes bizarre driver and performance issues instead of running them in windows, where they often just run fine, no matter what hardware you happen to have. This isn't 1998 anymore and such issues shouldn't even exist. The entire linux experience just still sucks too much in too many ways to be really a completely viable replacement in most situations, there are some very neat things you couldn't ever do in windows in an effective way, but overall... yeah. And I say this as someone who has used Linux for probably over ten years now. I'm still dual-booting (now VMing) and probably will still for a while now.
