EU should force a choice for all new PC. What OS do you want to run? Windows, Linux or Android? Then you would be able to see real competition in the OS market.

Maybe something like the raspberry pi OS chooser. In the best of worlds you have everything installed and just choose in the boot menu what to run.

It was not an option one week ago when i tested it. Maybe because I was in WiFi range and Microsoft assumed you have to know the password to at least one of them to pass the wifi screen. No skip button. But could create a new account as unverified using gmail address.

Hexchat and pidgin. What to do now when they are not supported on wayland?

Are they required by law or something to send those out? It is almost like needing to reconfirm your cookie in the webbrowser

Well, it is the many against the few rich. It is everyones planet.

I actually dont understand why we not do something drastic. I mean like ban cars and planes. We can still get around. Just not at the same speed at the moment. Someone will come up with a better idea then gas cars.

We also need to think about computers. Why throw them away? We could just make better software and keep the devices for a very, very long time. Heck, very bad computer could land on the moon...

I actually want Microsoft to do better. Then can, they just ignore user feedback about user choice, design, what to work on etc. Good if they start to get some competition. I wonder what will happen when ARM gets common in a normal PC-build. Good opportunity to make some big changes.

Both open and closed source got these.

No, you need to look at OS API level which gets updated every OS. App developers just assume that based on age that they will no longer support older devices.

Only 3 years of OS updates, then you need a new phone. Give 5 years directly so you can start thinking about competing with iOS. What is the problem? They have control of the software and the hardware like Apple.

The default font in the web browser on Ubuntu look bad. Different length between the letters and size

Apple users use to pay a lot for their device. So they just continue on with theme.
