    I have been using Linux since almost 30 years. It took me almost a week to get X running, since it had to reboot to windows everytime I wanted to look something up or get help. Now I buy games on steam without checking if they run, because… they just do. :)

    Actually I don’t need more people using Linux, I am happy with how it is now - no need to attract the attention of the malware industry. 😜

    To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.

    And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

      I’m getting close to that point. I started playing with it in 1997 or 1998, trying to avoid grad school work… Daily driver at home for many, many years.

        Loved that guy! Need to rewatch xfiles…

        I actually did rewatch it all a few years ago. Its quite good, but I see now as a older guy that David Duchovny actually wasnt very good playing Moulder. Didnt notice it as a kid but yeah, he is just reading lines with the same facial expression all the time. If you havent noticed, try rewatching with that in mind… :)

        Gillian Anderson is amazing though, really good actress and she was paid much less than Moulder, despite being able to actually act properly.
