Linux is often sold as progress, but philosophically it feels like a step backward. The people who shaped the field at its best, Engelbart, Alan Kay, Licklider, were trying to make computers amplify human thought, not turn users into part time system administrators. Engelbart wanted integrated systems that helped people reason, collaborate, and build knowledge. Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn from. Linux goes in the opposite direction. It inherits the Unix mindset where the system is a miserable little pile of loosely connected tools and the human is expected to glue them together through arcane commands and configuration files. Complexity is not reduced, it is pushed onto the user and normalized as a virtue. Instead of higher level concepts, Linux clings to decades old abstractions like everything being a file, text streams as universal interfaces, and shells as the main way to think. The result is a system no single person can fully understand, held together by conventions, folklore, and cargo cult practices. What makes this worse is the culture that formed around it. A common trait among Linux enthusiasts is a mix of resentment and shallow elitism, where struggling with the system is reframed as proof of intelligence or moral superiority. Difficulty becomes a badge of honor rather than a design failure. Many users overestimate their understanding, mastering a narrow set of commands and rituals while mistaking familiarity for depth. This Dunning–Kruger confidence feeds contempt for ordinary users and for systems that aim to be coherent and humane, as if usability were a flaw rather than the point. Instead of demanding better abstractions, the culture defends rough edges as character building. In that sense, Linux does not just fall short technically. It fosters an attitude that resists the ideals of clarity, empathy, and intellectual humility that the great figures of computing actually stood for.

I bought a Dell laptop from Costco. Been reading madly about Win10/11 changes the last ten years.

If YOU bought the laptop, would you:
1) offline hack and backup drivers and install clean Win11 enterprise
2) just offline and MAS to enterprise (I think it comes with Home) and manually debloat dell shit and use util with windows?

A) what's the difference with Win11 24 and 25?
B) should I be using WinToys exclusively or use Chris WinTools AND (or) ShutUp10?

I knew a lot about WinXP/7/8.1 but changed careers a decade ago and am out of the loop, bought new shit due to the shortage scares and holding out since COVID

Sort of. I think racing is a good way to get fast speeds on new torrents after the initial swarm has grabbed the whole torrent.

HnR rules basically exist so that there is still a benefit to users after racing.

Its also think racing is kinda fun. You get a good grasp on what the fastest groups are, the better groups that tend to trump releases, and write rules around that.

Racing is also much better when you use autobrr with radarr and sonarr and permaseed after. Racing for the trumps is really useful as well.

At this point, I wont even use any desktop environment on linux if it isn't X11. Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.

I once tried to learn C++ but so many things just sucked:
The syntax, headder files, 1000 ways to do the same thing, the ((meta-)meta-) "build" system(s) and overall the feeling of the language:
It is like someone had continuously updated his hobby project without concerning other users.

I want to learn a modern language instead and chose Zig out of Rust or Zig as Rust seemed gay-coded to me.
Is it a good decision to learn Zig? Will Zig stay?

You want to be familiar with assembly. C semantics have nothing to do with how the computer works or what the CPU's instructions do. It doesn't help you with low level programming.

>>
>>107648745
Not him, but I am sceptical about it being different in the future.
All of this onions app shit can't be sustainable. Even normies must get fed up by it someday and I don't know why we would need that many consooomer app devs.
So if you learn something special that is not general app/web dev, then you could be needed. But other sectors, like embedded, pay shit in comparison. I doubt the market will change much in the next years
>>
>>107648745
You people need to stop thinking that jobs are the only way to earn money. The reason why companies are doing massive layoffs and not hiring junior devs is the same reason why you can literally run your whole tech company practically solo. Instead of thinking, "Oh, I hope they pick me so I can waste my time making the CEO richer!" You should be thinking, "Oh, I hope they don't sue me because my products outclass their so much that they're butthurt.

>Looking at the block diagram the ethernet ports are connected to the secondary CPU socket so I guess the motherboard is in essence just unusable with a single CPU.
I’m surprised it boots at all with a single CPU installed. I imagine half the MCIO ports are also going to be disabled in that setup. In my hardware fantasy I was looking at the single-CPU Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 board to avoid the whole non-uniformity problem, but it’s fun seeing how the alternative route pans out.
I’m enjoying this series of posts, thank you for the update.
