  • When new OEM PCs comes with Linux pre-installed is when stuff happens. Not before then. Windows 11 adoption will be slow cause of their exclusion of old hardware. That old hardware will be scrapped or people just keep Windows 10 on it, regardless of security warnings.

    The Desktop Linux experience, with gaming and all, seems pretty close to fulfilling everyone needs at this point. But it would not surprise me if Microsoft goes around paying OEM manufacturers to not bundle anything but windows with their products.



  • Hereis my take: Democracies tend to be able to peacefully coexist, make compromise and cooperate. Because most people doesn’t want to go to war. Most people want prosperity and share it rather than die for it. As long as there are non-democracies or poorly working democracies around, you’re gonna have to fight to not loose what you have. Concentrate power and you are more likely to have to go to war. Cause the few peope with unchecked power does not care about you or your grandma.

    Only when the powerhungry feel emboldened enough, do they start conflicts. So it is a prerequsite to have to group up with someone, to messure up against whoever they intend to steal from.

    From my perspective; it is generally democracies, that tend to more reflect the will of the people, that are constantly defending against oportunistic dictators that want to shape the world to exploit their- and others peope, to their personal benefit.

    In prosperous times, dictators are not so aggressive, but in less prosporous times, they tend to need to start conflicts. They have nothing to personally loose from it. If they have nukes, they don’t even have to fear assasination when they mess with everyone on the globe.
