  • Well, if you’ve always been a Windows user, I think it’s normal to have trouble with another operating system. You certainly can’t expect to just install it and know how to do everything. You probably learned to use Windows when you were young, when your mind was more flexible, which is why it seems easier to you. I’ve also noticed that many users tend to ignore problems on Windows, while highlighting those on Linux; I think this is because they expect errors on Linux. Linux actually has error handling that Windows can only dream, you can log everything and trace the root cause of the problem. With Windows, often the only option you have is to reboot and hope the problem goes away.






  • Putin has refused to strike deals even with European leaders; he hasn’t just been taking Trump for a ride. If we stopped supplying weapons to the Ukrainians, they would be conquered in no time, but that would be an occupation, not peace.

    To negotiate, you must first prevent Russia from doing whatever it wants in Ukraine; otherwise, the only valid agreement will be Ukraine’s annexation by Russia.

    Russia is a nuclear power; you can’t wage open war against them, because who knows how they might react if cornered. I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust the fascists running Russia at all. Negotiations are the only way forward, but right now it’s Putin himself who doesn’t want to negotiate; all attempts to organize a ceasefire have fallen through because of Russia. Arming the working class so they can defend themselves, as happened with the Italian and French partisans when they had to drive out the fascist, seems to me the most sensible thing to do.



  • The fact that Germany has attracted people from other EU countries in the past does not mean it will be able to do so forever.

    The problem of underpaid labor can be solved by increasing oversight of businesses and punishing employers who exploit these people, because the crime is exploitation, not accepting appalling working conditions because one has no other choice.

    In Italy, there are many Indians who own their own businesses, such as electronics stores or restaurants—to name the most common ones. It seems strange to me that in Germany they are only employees and not business owners.







  • Have you ever tried installing Linux Mint on that PC? I’m not asking to encourage you to try it, but just to get your opinion. I consider Mint one of the best operating systems for breathing new life into old PCs, and I wanted to know if (assuming you’ve tried Mint) you think Windows is roughly on par with it in terms of performance.
