You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, mate. .NET is like Java. It's behind critical systems you haven't heard of because they're not flashy or glamorous, so you have no idea how prevalent they actually are.
The other posters are right. Most .NET projects today are backends, where it's used similarly to how Java is used.
You'll find a lot open source leaders, and CEOs of companies like framework are not progressive, they are libertarian. Which people mistake as progressive because it's often very socially liberal.
Trying to pressure them won't do do anything, because goes against libertarian values to force collective values on individuals.
It misses the point: if you split the universe in two identical parallel universe, but then take the same individual and in one universe train them 2h per week, and in the other universe, train them 8h per week, do you really think, whatever the test is, the second one will not perform better?
This is the point of training: the more training you have access to, the better you do. If it was not the case, then the notion of school itself as a way of training people to be able to think by themselves will not have any sense.
And that is just training. Even with the same amount of class hour, kids who don't have to worry about take care of their siblings, of the house chores, or of even having access to decent relaxing conditions will get higher score even if they are in fact less smart.
Yes, more training will invariably give better outcome for a given individual. But some people are just incredibly more talented than others due to genetics alone.
If you want to build an elite sport team, I don't think you want to artificially put less athletic kids for the reason they had to work harder.
I think the question is why do we need elite higher education at all. Maybe we don't. In my view, we want to funnel the brightest people there and make sure they get access to the best resources.
That's the point: people with more training that reach high grade are LESS GOOD than people with low training that reach lower grade.
You are saying that you don't want less athletic kids being accepted artificially. That's exactly the point: the score does not correspond to the talent, you have to correct for it: to compare 2 persons on their merit if they have had different training, you need to calibrate to get a variable that correspond to the merit.
My desktop box is running bazzite and is only used for gaming. I treat it has a console really, it isn't even connected to the internet and doesn't even receive updates unless I want to download a new game. It doesn't have any private data, the only secret I might have is that steam is already logged on but I don't have any payment account/card setup on my steam account.
Appart from the internet connection that might be useful for those gaming online I would expect most gamer machines would be like that.
I ran Bazzite for a little while on my desktop to see how it was for gaming, and it was great, but I do a lot besides gaming, gaming is a small percentage of my time spent on the PC, and I as a full-time Linux user, work and home, I needed something more traditional, I've switched over to CachyOS now which meets my needs well.
Well I don't mix work, gaming (especially with random proprietary code) and personnal stuff on the same device unless there is a good decent separation of the environments. Since gaming is the only usage that warrant a big heavy desktop with a GPU, that I like the conveniency of a laptop for personnal use and have a dedicated work laptop provided by my employer, it is fairly easy to separate duties.
> Also not ideal for security if you like to sleep/hibernate on a laptop.
Why not? I presume you're still running a lockscreen that will trigger on sleep/hibernate via whatever the equivalent of swayidle+swaylock is.
> Who am I kidding, how many laptops actually sleep or hibernate properly when running Linux anyway...
More than you think, though it does depend on hardware. I have no use for hibernation, but I couldn't tell you the last laptop I owned that didn't sleep fine on Linux.
> Why not? I presume you're still running a lockscreen that will trigger...
Maybe I misunderstood; I thought the suggestion was that there was no lock screen/login screen at all and that the LUKS password was the only barrier to entry.
> More than you think, though it does depend on hardware
It was an educated-"joke", I'm quite particular about my laptop hardware, I've had quite a few for work and home over the past couple of decades I've been running Linux, and lately, fewer and fewer that meet my other criteria have had the hardware support for proper sleep/standby/hibernate; by that I mean I want to be able to shut the lid at the end of the work day, or at the end of the evening (for my personal laptop) and have my work laptop not be at 0% in the morning, or for my personal laptop to last a week or so for when I next come to use it, but I'd also like to be able to open the lid and be back at my desktop within no more than the time it takes to enter my password plus 2-3 seconds if I need to.
Typically I just leave them plugged in all of the time when I'm at home and put them back on the charger when I'm done to work around this, but that's not great for their batteries; more of an issue for my personal laptop as I tend to replace it less often than work replaces my work one.
Unix systems are inherently very multi-user (check how many lines are in your /etc/passwd!). Other login users would just need to log into via other means (ssh/etc..).*
Nix is hard to get into. The lang is weird, and I'm a functional programmer. It's not very well documented. Flakes just don't seem to be documented at all? But are used everywhere?
