It’s a design thing. BIOS can know NVMe disks’ location because they’re directly mounted to PCIe. SATA isn’t like this. Similar logic with the RAM slots.

Always lsblk before dd. The order of /sdX might change from boot to boot. Only /nvme doesn’t change.

Reddit still comes up on search engine results, so many people still visit Reddit one way or another. However, you can use LibRedirect extension for this. Once you set a working frontend for Reddit, you can visit anonymously.

Pretty :)

I approached this as they are more techie than a regular user, so they can learn Linux faster if they want. Otherwise, it’s their job and they are not a regular user. It’s the same for MS Office too. If it’s related to someone else’s job, it’s most likely irreplaceable. However MS Office is not a must for people who just want to write or do some spreadsheet.

Basically I exclude jobs from “everyday users”.

Well, it’s true that Photoshop has no real competitor, at least in the FOSS world. Otherwise we wouldn’t have this conversation. :)

I mean, I get MS Office part but do normal people use Adobe stuff (aside from Acrobat)? As I see, normal people don’t even know how to use Photoshop. The ones who can use Adobe products can use Linux as well without a hassle in my opinion. However, a change requires to relearn things. Probably that’s the reason people don’t seek a change, unless they feel a little adventurous.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Hopefully, Microsoft will break that cycle.

Golan Heights was under Israel invasion since 1967, maybe that’s the reason? /s

Though they moved even further than that now, which is concerning.

Gnome 2 was the peak.

I prefer that over NT or Windows.

It was not a comparison, just stated the obvious. Calling names for things doesn’t change them. Hence calling themselves democratic doesn’t make them one.

That so called “state” was a dictatorship though.

When you start playing Factorio, all will be forgotten.

It’s really fine if they have no access to internet. They probably have their software that works fine with it, and probably won’t work on newer OSes. There is an airport that still uses Win 3.1 on some computers, don’t recall the name though.

Funny thing is, XP still appears on Windows market share.

While people don’t want to move onto Windows 11, I recently saw a fricking Vista on a local office supply store.
