This doesn't sound like any linux desktop I've used in the last ten years. Usually I pop a Mint usb in, go through the installer and come back to a system with almost all devices configured. Then it's just a matter of putting back my /home and there we are.

On a non-corporate Windows installation, that would just be the beginning, where I would be hunting for chipset drivers, graphics drivers, HID drivers, network drivers and any other devices I need, each needing separate hands-on installation.

Thank goodness that there's Ninite available now, otherwise all the basic apps that make up a Windows install would then still be another few hours of manual downloading and installation. And then there's restoration of your old Users directory, which is still a fraught process if you don't have a pretty good understanding of windows.

I have always seen playing with boot.ini and aux/vga easier than messing with xorg.conf.

I also find acme a lot more convenient than vim or emacs and regularly use it on Linux via plan9port.

Depends on your definition of "responsive". SteamOS (based on Debian) is widely criticized for running games at lower frame rates than the same machine running Windows for example. X11 is a dog in many regards, harming the Linux experience. Wayland can't come soon enough.

These seem to be a good fit for collage campus, remote parking, or around large airports. Basically anywhere the trips are fairly short and people are normally carrying 10+ lb of stuff or through areas you don't want people walking around.

They might also work for retirement communities, hilly areas, or where weather is often terrible, basically when walking is unpleasant. Possibly even transit within amusement parks or other places where navigation can confuse people.

But, well slow speed, and high cost per passenger mile is a clear reason they are not in widespread use.

I've heard the opposite hypothesis. Previously police departments had a much higher percentage of vets. After having experienced the horrors of war, they had no need nor no desire to play soldier on the street. Also they would have calibrated their us versus them response.

Right, and that helped keep the rest of the browser stuck and slow. I think electrolysis really drove this realization home.

> While at the time I last used it there still were separate UI elements for the address bar and the search bar

As far as the "hitting tab one extra time" is concerned, yeah, that should be customizeable. You can get rid of the search bar (which I do), but in case you have both visible you really don't need the awesomebar to do searches.

I wonder if I can add customization easily. In my personal workflow half of the time I need search but I get that that's not for everyone.

> Though these are sold as uniformly good, they come with tradeoffs, and Mozilla is choosing to make the same tradeoffs as Chrome

Fair. However, they both seem to address the needs of the majority of the user base (fast browser that works with modern websites and modern browser usage, not something that can be easily done with single process or a slow release cycle). This does mean that some users lose out.

Totally agree with the power users point. I was annoyed with the removal of Panorama as well. I now use Vertical Tabs (and may switch to Tree Style) and it is good enough, but if my tab usage was even higher it wouldn't be.

> In the long term, I will have to switch to something else

Sorry to hear that. I personally used to use Chrome (since around 2010) even when I started contributing to Firefox (I contributed to Firefox because it was easier; Chromium didn't have a great build/contribution process). I later stopped contributing to Firefox because I didn't have time, but I switched over to it around last year because it got much better. I'm surprised that folks find that it got worse in that time period, but I suspect it's just that the changes I liked were disliked by others.

MS has really gone downhill over the past few years with badly designed software and shockingly broken patches. The anniversary update set all the permissions in my registry so it couldn't be written to, and there was no way to fix it.

Welcome to non-linear history during time travel.

Edit: for those downvoting, the article linked is actually a pretty good introduction on why time travel may be self evidently impossible through simple logic (we already know the event didn't happen, so it can't go back and happen), but also may be self-evidently possible if certain criteria is met first (specific fuckery involving time-like closed loops and multiverse theory, which means, essentially, history can't be trusted or multiple concurrent histories can't be trusted, respectively).

So, yes, it is confusing to need to think about logic in the terms presented by the article.

SteamOS is not a desktop Linux distro, it's a distro made for running Steam and it goes through their own compositor. You can boot into a GNOME session but it's extremely barebones compared to any regular distro, even the terminal is broken by default.

Next, there are a bunch of reasons why Linux distros run games slower than Windows. Most games are made for Windows in mind in the first place, so unless someone does a whole conversion of the graphics code base to optimize it for OpenGL, DirectX ends up wrapped or translated with loss of performance. This has nothing to do with how much the desktop feels "responsive", and it completely off topic here.

Wayland is not the Messiah and is not going to provide massive performance improvement. Already confirmed with the alpha/beta out. And it brings a ton of problems too since each application cannot access information from other applications (screensavers, screen capture programs would not work in Wayland). That's why they have the XWayland project.

And X11 is not a dog. That's a lot of history in it, nad it may be bloated, but it can still perform very well - there are a few games ported from Windows that run faster on Linux (Dirt Showdown is one).

While I think Firefly had one or two more good seasons in it, I do support your argument. There are so many examples of shows having a strong start and then screwing up in a later season, making the whole series terrible. I think Heroes was the worst example of this: brilliant first season, complete garbage after. Glee is another example. I would have hated to see Firefly do this.

The list of shows they had really surprised me in that I enjoyed two-thirds of them myself.
Thank you for this, explains my issue. I wasn't sure if it was just dual boot or something else.
> We embrace diversity in culture, why not diversity in governance?

When was the last time you participated in your local city council? We do embrace diversity in government. Local government is much easier to change.

> People are exploring ideas like 'stop paying taxes'

Well, have fun when they throw you in jail for failure to pay. That isn't a new idea (it's been tried longer than the USA has existed), and it always ends badly. It's equivalent to advocating for the government to fail. If that is what you want, you should say it directly.

> no other options available

> We can't just move to another city

First, sometimes you can. It's a solution used by many people in the past.

Second, why do you think this is the only option? Did you spend time trying to change local government? Did you run for office?

> endorse in good conscience

So you support every type of religious fanatic that hates some aspect of government? And the people that want to disband the armed forces? And the anarchists that want to unfund the entire government?

High-end Hotels/Resorts especially as I have a bit of insight into their needs. POS systems are notoriously bad. It's probably hell extracting that info in the first place.

The Anniversary Update completely hosed the Windows install on my desktop.

It got stuck at 15% installing with the infamous spinning circle - I let it run 8 hours at 15% just to be sure because there is zero info given to you beyond the spinning circle. Then when I rebooted the machine it got stuck "Restoring previous version of Windows", again I gave it 8 hours. A third reboot and it failed to boot, forcing me to spend a couple hours fiddling with the command line tools in the recovery environment to repair the boot record.

And I still have no idea why it failed, and Google has no answers either beyond vague suggestions like unplugging all USB devices before the install runs.

Not looking forward to losing a day of work to it again, but not like I have a choice.
