NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you're not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I'd recommend against using them for personal systems.

I'd take a good ext4 implementation on Windows, too. And, you know, if that isn't an option then maybe Linux isn't ready? Maybe that cue card had stuff written on both sides, eh?

ext4 not working on Windows means that Windows isn't ready, if anything.

It's just unreasonable to expect Windows stuff to work on Linux, just like you wouldn't expect it to work on MacOS or Android.

For those who desperately need to use Windows stuff, Linux provides some compatibility, like semi-compatible libs (Wine) and semi-compatible systems (NTFS).

While Linux offers for some compatibility, Windows offers no compatibility.

If you consider Windows anywhere near ready, then Linux has been ready for a long time.

But no, Linux will not run your Android apps as well as Android, your MacOS apps as well as MacOS or your Windows apps as well as Windows.

Linux is for running Linux apps.

I think it's referring to the driver version 570, which isn't stable yet but working fine in beta.

I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.

So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn't call it "completely busted".

But they would be a move to the left (coming from the current state, which is Republicans).

But apparently most American voters do not want to move left, not even an inch.

Fortunately the German constitution prevents people like you from determining others' "right to live".

I agree that it's not the same. That wasn't what I was trying to say; I'm sorry if my phrasing was unclear.

The reason I made the comparison is that it's very clear that using "gay" as an insult is bad (because of the severe discrimination you mentioned), and so I was using it as a more extreme example of an insult that refers to a specific group of people.

Using "incel" as an insult is not as clearly bad (because involuntary celibates haven't faced the discrimination that homosexuals have), yet it follows a similar paradigm, hence why I made the comparison.

Why not just use another term, like "radical misogynist"?

I talk to people, I partake in society.

If there's a large amount of people insecure about being born to unmarried parents that I simply haven't encountered or heard of, I'd be perfectly willing to quit using the term "bastard" as an insult, too.
