I’m curious what made it that complicated. Was the Synology OS (DSM they call it right?) fighting you along every step or something? As far as I know it’s a custom Linux OS but I have no idea what it’s based on, or if it’s even based on a specific distribution… I could definitely see it being a challenge depending on the answers haha.

In what sense? If anything, the very concept of “everything is gendered” makes it sit at one extreme of the spectrum of languages, in the very literal sense of the word, wouldn’t you agree?

Pop is basically Ubuntu minus snap, plus flatpak, plus their PPA, no?

Funny, my father was born to what was considered pretty old parents, for the time. But grandma in particular really wasn’t very representative of the Silent Generation lol

I thought about it, but on the other hand, I’ve yet to hear someone under a handful of decades old mention Lenny Bruce

Yup Steam Deck is a great example of Linux falling in end-users hands in the right way to drive adoption. The average person doesn’t even have to care that it is indeed running on Linux.

It’s the same model JetBrains has for their IDEs. You pay for a year, you get a perpetual fallback license. You pay again, get another year of updates.

JetBrains (accurately) still calls it a subscription though.

I don’t disagree you may find it comfortable, I just genuinely don’t understand how you do it. I guess you don’t mind the shuffling around that comes with typing a button in the opposite corner of the screen, but I personally do. When holding my phone with one hand in a position I can type in and the phone just won’t slide down to the floor, my thumb just doesn’t reach the opposite corner of the screen without shifting the phone in my hand.

Funny, I don’t use splits, and I never full screen my web browser.

I don’t get it, sorry

Sure. It is not what the comment I was responding to was referring to.
