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.

Like when I was doing this a lot, I paid for Workstation Pro and Player Pro, but even those are an unmitigated shit show now.

How the hell did running a desktop VM go from incredibly simple to a fucking nightmare? Running a Windows VM on a Linux host used to be like: choose VM tool, install VM tool, pick CPU/RAM/DISK limits, boot an ISO
Every single desktop VM tool seems to have gotten much more complicated to set up and use, and I’m not seeing any benefit I get in exchange for that.

Questa è la storia di 4 persone che si chiamano Ognuno,Qualcuno,Ciascuno, Nessuno.C'era un lavoro urgente da fare e Ognuno era sicuro che Qualcuno lo avrebbe fatto.Ciascuno avrebbe potuto farlo,ma Nessuno lo fece.Finì che Ciascuno incolpò Qualcuno perché Nessuno fece ciò che Ognuno avrebbe potuto fare. 😁

@mora @quinta @mariosiniscalchi domandatevi con quale qualità e conseguenze sopravvive un culto che si concentra sui predicatori e non su una dottrina uniformata

Belated Christmas gift, a signed poster from an exhibit in Toledo. I love this! Need to get it framed and up in the studio. #art #inspiration #poster

@ilarioq @economia sempre in Cina le fanno 😂. Non so ma, x fare un esempio, sulla Volvo EX30 montano in base all'allestimento, 2 tipi di batteria diverse: LFP (al litio-ferro-fosfato) e NCM (al nickel-manganese-cobalto). In ogni caso tra un mese, un anno, un decennio la tecnologia sarà migliorata e i numeri di oggi non avranno + valore
