Linux is as good as Linux is, just as Windows is as good as Windows is and MacOS is as good as it is.

All operating systems have their place, purpose, and use cases, so the question is subjective. Different OS's are good or bad for different people, and different scenario's which is why they all have a part of the market share.

MacOS has ease of use and excellent intercompatibility with other Apple products, and Windows has boatloads of compatible software and compatibility with Microsoft's Active Directory domains in businesses.

What Linux has is cost effectiveness and true ownership and control.

At the moment most people prefer ease of use for home computing, but on a long enough timeline Linux will obtain this as well, just look at what Valve did with SteamOS and the steam deck when it comes to that. Making it easy to use there is, I suspect, one of the major reasons the steam deck as a device is so well reviewed, and partly why we have seen such an increase in market share recently I suspect.

So right now, most people probably prefer another OS because of ease of use, but at some point in the future, Linux will probably be holding all the cards. It just seems that those who develop the distributions are often tied up with other goals apart from ease of use for the common user in the contemporary, but eventually they will begin to tackle this goal as well.

Hell yea, glad you got it. I have my third interview at a software company later today, here's hoping.

Networking/security is some really neat stuff, I have dabbled as I used to work doing systems stuff, but moved to robotics automations after that. See if you can get your new employer interested in paying a bit for you to get certs at some point (often if you bring it up that you want some cert, they might be interested in putting some percentage of money towards helping you get it), Network+ and those other Cisco certs are pretty sought after as I understand it and could definitely help progress your career.

Also welcome to the industry!

I think it may depend on where you are. Back when Whatsapp went belly up, myself, my entire family, and every other person I know IRL switched over to signal within a week, so I think it may be more popular than you expect, though still not as popular as Telegram as you noted.

Lawbreakers came out ~7 years ago and it was too late to get in on the genre then.

The character roster for this game looks so generic and boring.

https://dotesports.com/concord/news/all-concord-characters-every-freerunner-weapon-ability-and-crew-bonus

You have the choice of:

-Cylindrical yellow robot (arguably this is the most original and interesting design)

-Woman with puffy sleeves

-Woman with box on head

-Man with goggles and winter jacket

-Old Woman

-Woman with pauldrons

-Generic Woman

-Green woman with ears

-Man with hat

-Pink robot

-Mushroom

-Green man with shit on arms

-Woman with sphere on head

-Blue and Red man

-Generic Man

-Generic Woman 2

Like, I've hardly played overwatch but at least I can tell from afar what most of the characters do from looking at them. Clearly, in overwatch, Giant knight with hammer is a melee tank, clearly the ninja guy with the sword is mobile and and has some melee ability, clearly the lady with the sniper rifle is a sniper, clearly the angel is a healer, clearly, the lady with the jetpack can fly and is support, etc.

Applying this logic to concord, the BEST I can guess is that Woman with pauldrons is a tank, otherwise the design is so ass, I really can't even tell.

Get a design department and/or let them do their job Sony.

If your destruction is already inevitable because all of NATO is invading your country, then mutually assured destruction begins to look like a good option from the losing position.

For this reason I would argue nuclear war is plausible in the scenario.

You may also say "well the NATO forces may be looking to arrest you and not kill you so logically your best bet is to hold off on nukes", but people, even leaders of countries, often don't react rationally under extreme circumstances so there is definitely a non zero risk of nuclear destruction.

Thanks, uninstalled from app store and did this instead.

square footage could go down.

Could it though? Don't know if you noticed but the rental market is completely fucked in NA. For most people this would mean renting a room instead of an apartment, which doesn't work well if you for example, are a family of 4.

find a different job closer

There are no guarantees for this because jobs of people's industries which pay them the money they need to support themselves and their families are not geographically distributed evenly. If you have years of tenure at your workplace as well, it is a big fucking risk to change jobs unless you have a really, really, good reason to do so as well.

Point is, you might have these options but it doesn't mean everyone does. People's lives and options are not so black and white as you seem to think.

Downloaded because of this post, it is very good!

One is one thing and the other is another thing.

Henschenflugel?

Lol. Seriously though, for something like this these days, it will be interesting to see what happens given we will have to face the year 2038 problem. This kind of thing was still doable for the 2000 switch because of the relatively small number of devices/softwares, but because of the number of devices and softwares now, let alone in 2038, I really have no idea how it's going to be managed.
