I'm totally on engineeringgamings side. Both apple and Google are both bad companies imo but the Android operating system is probably the best thing Google has made and you have the ability to use it without any of the Google services.

I take advantage of side loading on a daily basis with repository's like f droid and accresent as well as obtanium for installing apps from the source. And for the few apps I need i can use the aurora store all with never signing in with a google account.

For me the main feature of Android is side loading and I can take full advantage of that with no google account. In my opinion the idea of an ecosystem is a negative, i want the ability to not be locked in to any specific hardware or software vendor.

That's an awesome story. And it really goes against what a lot of people talk about online who often say linux is harder than windows but it's not unless you need windows or macos specific programs.

Thanks for the warning i don't think I have any hour long videos, maybe up to 10 or 20 minutes. But that is a very weird and annoying bug.

I guess Ubuntu when I tried to make a minecraft server a couple of years ago. I first started actually using Linux as my desktop with bazzite.

I like the stance on fining big corporations and taxing corporations. And I think donations would work very well too as long as a focus of donations was built into the education system. I would need to do some more research to see weather or not that would be enough money since so much government money currently comes from taxpayers. In almost every country.

Is bash ultimately better than dolphin or another file manager? I always thought that it just seamed slow having to read things out with no icons and having to type the filename instead of double clicking. And I have been avoiding installing applications through terminal because I can't find how to properly uninstall them including all data (the fedora software center does this really easily) I have also had some trouble going further back that my user folder in the terminal I still havn't figured out how to do that. Lastly what are some "user friendly by virtiue of having few moving parts" distro's that you recommend?

That's kind of awesome, thanks!

I will try that thanks.

oops typo I meant habbits

Does it really matter why you aren't drinking? I tend to avoid asking questions like that especially immediately after I find out that is the case. No matter what reason someone has it won't (or at least it shouldn't) change there choice if I know.

Yeah alcohol really sucks. It's so embedded into society most people expect you to start drinking regularly as soon as you can. I think it's getting better but still people are nowhere near as cautious about alcohol as they really should be it accounts for 10% of deaths worldwide, that is just mind boggling.

Yeah OK, so stick with dumb cars for now. Or take public transport and ride your bike because cars just suck in general!
