"The Microsoft-powered bot says bosses can take workers’ tips and that landlords can discriminate based on source of income"
Well it ain't wrong. Business can absolutely do that and do absolutely do that. If they get caught they get a slap on the wrist and that's it.
As long as the punishment does not match the crime the American society will never get better. This is why proper rules, regulations and oversight needs to be in place. The "free" market will never do the right thing on its own.
The wierd app drawer was still a thing and a few other things I really didn't like. Canonical was giving away copies to try at Dreamhack Summer. I remember it very well
The Plasma desktop is well supported and is pretty close to a Windows experience.
I hate Gnome with passion because it's nothing like Windows. I tested Ubuntu 2009 and the Gnome DE is what made me not like Linux. I did not know at the time that KDE Plasma also existed
I would recommend Vanilla OS, especially Vanilla OS 2 once it's released. It's a very stable distro with an immutable system. It also allows you to install arch, debian, fedora, etc. packages using the apx package manager
I would assume as any other distro. Windows applications are run through Wine or Proton on Linux.
I am not currently using Vanilla OS on my machine (using arch btw), still waiting for the stable 2.0 to dive in deeper.
To run Windows applications I would install flatpak package support in any of the subsystems (arch, fedora), then install Bottles for Windows applications and Steam or Lutris for games. Never tried Lutris for applications but it might work well too.
Vanilla OS 2.0 sounds like it could be for you. That distro can install everything. I mean everything. Ubuntu stuff, Fedora stuff, Arch stuff and whatever else!
Yes, it's great that every company can choose to not give a fuck about anything except for their bottom line. I mean who cares about everyone else living on this planet, right?
The only thing these companies keep proving is that they will never make the right choice unless there are proper rules and regulations.
This is amazing progress! I hope more countries in Europe will be inspired to do the same
