Recruiters are not your buddy. Just like the salesperson at the car dealership is not your buddy.

"like this" -- a failure of the service, or a failure of communication and customer support?
Remember that time S3 went down and the only updates were on Twitter because the status page was hosted on S3?
Sendmail is deprecated. That was the first Unix service I ever learned to configure. This is kind of the same feeling I got when I heard music I grew up listening to on the classic rock station.

I am not an American and I obviously have no right to meddle in your affairs. But only today Trump tweeted out Obama being against immigration and then from their the rabbit hole went deeper and there was a video of gasp, bernie sanders calling open borders a "Koch brother" conspiracy.
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone high up in America really has any integrity? I fail to see anyone who is consistent in their views and actions.
Google cooperating with Chinese censors knowing fully well how China persecutes Muslims (and that is something I do get emotional over), and Schmidt talking about bifurcation of internet soundbyte to make a case when its clear that the so called bifurcation is because of language.
It just all seems so staged at this point. And I don't mean to insult my America brothers here but I just want to know who actually is on the "right" side?
Edit: I see that the person who replied "politics I'd cesspool of.." Has his comment deleted. I understand that this is defeatist attitude and we are all smart people but better to talk than to silence him. Silencing is the reason I never saw this 10 year old video.

1. It works
2. Lets you use professionally produced, widely supported, best-in-class software, with support
3. Hardware works out of the box, rather than taking a week to get it working, if supported drivers even exist
4. Updates less likely to brick your hardware
5. Your company's IT department, your ISP, etc will help you fix it
6. You don't have to tweak configuration files by hand, run a series of commands, or call up your cousin's nephew who you heard has used this thing before
- The trackpad driver doesn't support scrolling w/ Win 10 (Dell E7470). I know how to fix the issue but I don't have the correct user permissions.
- The buggy corporate printer helper has caused the laptop to shutdown due to overheating twice so far in two weeks. I'd disable it since I will never print from this thing, but...
- I've been trying to figure out how to install software I need without local admin privileges and now I have a Git installation that takes ~30 seconds to update the shell after each command. I tried everything in StackOverflow...
In all fairness, picking a laptop to use with Linux takes a little homework, but I've had no issues with Thinkpads or my current XPS 13 running Fedora.
