Or you can use PowerShell - Available on MacOS, Windows, Linux instead of suffering through incoherent syntax of Bash.

For Europe, this might be bad news as Trump made a few quite strong remarks as to what he will do to NATO when he gets to power again. In the worst case, it might mean Europe will surrender to Russia and Putin's troops will arrive to the border with Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, pushing the territory of his empire further to the West. It would be a sad time for all Europe, not just for Ukrainians.

That would be just repeat on Munich 1938. Putin won't stop, just consolidate and push further to the West. Moldova next. Then Baltic states. Then Poland. Does it sound insane? Well Ukraine-Russian war sound insane in the fall of 2021 when intelligence agencies were sending warnings what is about to happen.

Presumably the EU hasn't threatened to jail twitter employees if he doesn't comply.

Windows is not the root problem. The root problem is people thinking Windows is acceptable.

I will find MacOS acceptable when Finder will start treating Enter as Enter and not as rename. And the worst thing is that you can't even change this behavior.

I really think the worst problem in programming is language. If you don't speak English basically youre doomed.

> Apple is probably going to have to light a gigantic stack of cash on fire to try to course correct this. Or they’ll cut their losses and write it off entirely

Much cheaper: ship a bug that allows OS jailbreak to run VMs. See what unshackled creators develop. Add official interfaces to support those use cases. Rinse & repeat.

That's why I am always surprised when somebody calls it a devkit. It is just a coping mechanism for a failed product.

Furthermore if Apple wants to turn it into such devkits, why do such weird and unnecessary mating rituals? Just let anyone who has active developer license on Apple ID to modify Vision OS and see what they are going to come up with. Apple will then add it into Vision OS and ban people who come up with the solution at a first place. As it is done in AppStore today.

I'm pretty sure a non-technical user can use Ubuntu or something, from start to finish, without ever touching a terminal.

To me, the main issue is that many preferred softwares are not offered on Linux because of its small market share. The market share doesn't grow because preferred softwares aren't there. It's a circular problem.

That issue is improving all the time though as new softwares tend to target Linux natively (ex. Discord, Zoom, Slack). Furthermore, the compatibility layers are getting better for non-native programs (ex. Steam deck).

I really don't see a universe where Linux stops taking over the world, including the desktop. Adobe and Excel probably can't hold Windows up forever.

90%+ people will fail to edit a config if they are forced to use nano or vi.

What are it's major flaws that Windows and MacOS solved? I am using Linux instead.

No need, nor expectation to open a Terminal/Cmd/Powershell and start writing cryptic commands. Most are go here and set this slider on/off. More advanced are open regedit and write this variable on this path to 0 and restart. Or Open group policy editor and set this setting on this path to Disabled.

I wish macOS had maximise buttons and window snapping. They would bolster their appeal with Windows expats if they did.

I wish Finder would have Enter working as Enter and not as Rename.
