Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?
  • Honestly, you'll be lucky if you can get past any bootloader issues on a Samsung.

    It was honestly trivial to wipe Samsung's and install LineageOS on a Galaxy Note 10+ and a Galaxy Tab 7. The bootloader isn't much of an issue.

    Now, getting a random Linux system to install, rather than an Android system designed for these, sounds live a huge challenge.

  • Worst is UTC vs GMT
  • Timezones are fine to program around.
    DST is a bit of a pickle to plan around, but can be done just fine by a computer program.

    Historical dates; considering leap years, skipped leap years, and times when leap years weren't a thing or when humanity just decided we skip a bunch of years; are the bane of all that is good.

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • I think your first point is the main reason Ubuntu has its popularity to thank for; 10-15 years ago it was (one of) the best desktop Linux OSes, people used to its workflow will continue using it as there's no imminent reason to switch to whatever new thing just came out

  • Linux in the military
  • Firewall is pre-installed, and they offer to configure and enable it on launch (similar to Ubuntu and many other distros). I've never seen a Linux desktop they came with firewall preconfigured in any way.

    The lock screen is an issue, and Cinnamon does not come with a Wayland way to lock yet. KDE, Gnome or some other Wayland friendly DE would be better in that regard, I agree

  • Linux in the military
  • It's Ubuntu, so it's secure.

    It uses a supported LTS kernel, for better stability and security. Updates to a newer LTS kernel if the LTS it was using is no longer supported.

    It's very secure by default.

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • So it has auto updates enabled? Windows, macOS and a ton of other Linux distros do that as well.

    I think it's moreso that Ubuntu is (one of the) most used desktop Linux OSes, so a lot of corporations and individuals who like to play safe just go with that

  • Youth unemployment in Europe
  • Would high youth employment generally be a good or bad sign?

    Also, why does this go from 15 until 29? I don't expect most countries to have a high 15-year-old employment but I expect virtually every 29-year-old to be employed.
