Watchmen

Or maybe I should be allowed to use a device I purchase however I damn well please.

No. It’s a loss for everybody. It doesn’t save grandma, and it prevents power users from using the device they own.

What do mean, some are?

You are technically correct. I have updated the language of my post.

It’s not balancing if you eliminate user choice.

No it didn’t. They’ve been that way for as long as we’ve known about their existence. We just didn’t know this detail.

I bought my first SSD in 2009. It was my system drive for around 10 years.

See, you say that as a Linux user.

Ordinary folks don’t talk or think like Linux people. Nobody understands what a “process” is, let alone what a container is or what isolation means.

And if somebody is used to “pres butan get bacon” anything else is going to sound like gobbledygook.

Also: a modern distro running gnome or KDE is harder to screw up. Folks don’t need to use clunky package managers like Synaptics. As a result, they are less likely to break things.

Excuse me

A BCT

It’s brilliant writing. I despise her. I love the character.
