I've tried some weird and wonderful partition schemes in the past, but I think I've settled down and just go for simplicity. Half a gig for /boot, and the rest for / (in ext4). I've tried btrfs, but I've never been in the position where I needed snapshots, and ext4 is a lot more simple.

I also like having the flexibility of not having a separate home partition. I back up my super important files, so it doesn't matter if I lose home (not that I distrohop much anymore, anyway). And I don't have to stress about whether I've made my root partition big enough. For the same reason I use a swapfile rather than a swap partition (though I do need to look in to zram and zswap) - I like knowing that I can resize it easily, even if I don't really plan on doing so.

If you're buying a PC that doesn't have the specs to run Windows 11, you're probably only using it for web browsing tasks anyway. I'd wager that many of them wouldn't even notice that they're using a different OS.

Still becomes e-waste if Roku drops support for it. Granted, that’s not the best example as I’ve got an old-ass Roku that still works, but the point stands. Same goes for Fire sticks and other devices like that.

Just look at Spotify's Car Thing.

Just look at the industrial amounts of bullshit spewing from Elon Musk's Twitter feed.

Clearly the answer is no.

...but then your clothes might look like you've worn them before.

What are you? Poor?

You can tell this is old because the hot brunette has stopped screaming (on record at least) for 16 years.

It’s some sort of perverse arms race built around a shared lie we all pretend we don’t know about.

There's a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It's like it's taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.

...this looks like it was written by a supervisor who has no idea what AI actually is, but desperately wants it shoehorned into the next project because it's the latest buzzword.

Use Firefox.

Even the Android version lets you install uBlock Origin.

Gamedevs would prefer that one pirate the game outright than use shady key resellers.
