Some commercial ones did at some point. I’m not sure if they still do.

The question is whether their users care or not I suppose.

It’s Unix if you pay to have it certified (assuming it’s compatible to begin with). That’s basically it.

Which rarely, if ever, happens. Especially with US software.

I no longer work with corporations, but an online ornithology classI did used teams. It worked, mostly, for a while. Then one day it decided that video would no longer work on my machine. Of course there’s no obvious log or anything.

I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.

That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.

It’s the only piece of software that’s ever behaved that way.

The author described 40cm of rain, which was unusual to me, since we normally describe the rain in millimetres

That’s the point of sensible units. It’s exactly the same thing.

You wouldn’t download a migrant.

archive.org is hosted in the US and could end up being a valid target. It doesn’t strike me as being a very good place to securely store anything nowadays. I’d consider anything hosted in the US to be out.

But still no AI in the calculator. Why is that Microsoft?

I didn’t. Last time I looked, it was still in the early stages.

And you don’t actually have to upgrade daily. I often wait a couple weeks or more and the machines don’t care one way or the other.

After using python, I’m of the opinion that perl was much cleaner.

Sure.

I run Tumbleweed, but people are free to do their thing.

I think you’re confusing user interfaces and API structures there.

Also file systems don’t have to be in the kernel. User space file systems are a thing and work fine.

It’s an alpha, so I guess a number of things can still change.

In that case you’re left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
I wouldn’t trust it.

It starts with a full screen window, no window controls… so sorry, it pretty much breaks the expected interface.

Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they’re quite convenient.

Great, it breaks all the interface conventions. How convenient.

It’s a start. Keep at it.

It’s pertinent if you only need something for a short time, or if you want to test something before committing to buying it.

Otherwise, there’s few cases where renting makes sense.

Besides, Plasma can look like anything else anyway, so why switch?
