A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'd rather make a benign Linux distro feel like a windows version I like, than papering over a hostile Win11.
Yeah at the time of windows 7 linux was still a bit limited so while I was not wild about microsoft I prefered it over linux but linux now a days is more the operating system I want than any version of windows ever was.
