I find that often the reason more-flexible OSes get a rep for fragility is they tend to be used by people like me: people who want to make their computer optimized in some way.
We tend to then configure to the limits of our knowledge and introduce delightful little edge cases. Less flexibility in an OS stops us from doing that, but then we’re unhappy for a different reason
The last time I built a laptop, I decided I’d leave the ultra-tuned stuff on my desktop and just use Manjaro with minimal customization. The only “fragility” I have experienced in 3 years is some frankly minor dependency hell: and that only with some AUR packages
I don’t think #Linux is actually fragile: it just won’t get in the way of me building a fragile system.

@antonine tl;dr Un saggio scritto con ChatGPT, senza dichiarare fosse scritto da ChatGPT, a firma di un "filosofo" che in realtà non esisteva.
Storiaccia abbastanza borderline.

Tra oggi e giovedì il promontorio anticiclonico di matrice subtropicale raggiungerà i massimi. Come spesso accade in questa stagione la presenza di un'alta pressione del genere si associa a marcata inversione termica, ovvero temperatura tende ad aumentare con la quota anziché diminuire. 1/3
