Why even have a box at this point? Just put the phone in the mail by itself, it's durable right?

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This is precisely why I dislike and don't recommend Ubuntu, to this day.

So as a United flier(haven't flown for two months, though), I know that they provide the following free:

  • a selection of locally hosted movies and TV shows
  • RCS, iMessage
  • Internet messaging services like meta messenger and snapchat(I can't speak on more niche messengers like Jami or any forms of XMPP

You have to pay extra(or sign in with t-mobile) to get in flight internet access.

I hope that this means that you'll get unrestricted internet access for free, instead of only a few apps and services.

This is (almost) the same as looking at how someone types with their hands to estimate what they're typing, just a bit ~~less~~ more precise.

Now I'm no judge, but I see this as a first amendment violation. The student was expressing his disdain towards the kids in a jackass sort of way, but being a jackass isn't and shouldn't be against the law.

By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I'm using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I'm not sure how steam is packaged, but I'd imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.
