I used FreeBSD before I used Linux. It was still really complicated to set up at the time. I can’t speak to modern versions. I also used openbsd more recently to make a router out of a sun ultra 5 I trash picked. Learning pf and seeing up a router all by hand was a good learning experience. Then the hd crashed and I didn’t have a backup of my configs. I didn’t have enough ambition to start from scratch, and there are plenty of modern distros that are ready made routers.
Terrible GUI? Microsoft can’t even keep their print dialog consistent across their own programs, let alone dealing with different dialog boxes across third party software.

When I was at Driver’s Village, a fairly large dealership in central New York, I noticed the salesman was using a computer with wallpaper that said Windows 11. This was before Windows 11 was even released. It was very obviously a Gnome desktop. I’m guessing IT just put the windows 11 background on it so the people using it wouldn’t complain that they didn’t know how to use Linux.
It switches to $3.99 when I put it in my cart.
Anathem is my personal favorite. One of the very few books I’ve read multiple times.
Two motors. One to power one to steer.
I was just paused that video to come here and see this at the top of my feed. Talk about coincidence.
When eaten by squirrels the mind control protocol is activated.
