No, it's a user problem on both OS's. Installing random shit from untrustworthy sources is a much more likely source of infection that a zero-day, network-based exploit, etc

Not every OS allows you to simply click on a random installer/eventually (maybe enter a password) and get owned. IOS on phones doesn't. Android requires you enable untrusted sources.

It sounds like not including a GUI app by default to click-install random packages (outside the package manager) is the extra step for various Linux distros. That's not a problem, that's a good idea.

Try command line?

dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb

That's likely an app just not installed by default for GUI

• Login as a user.
• Delete the user while still logged in
• Run command

You should get a message "you don't exist, go away"

Not sure if that one is still around but I know one person who ran a script with "deluser $USER" and it ate root resulting in fun messages like that

I've been starting to see it available on a bit more hardware these days, mostly peripherals etc that have blinky lights, but I'm hoping that it'll gain more traction over time. Why reinvent the wheel, after all?

Yeah the newer music-based games are pretty cool. Maybe as stuff like OpenRGB becomes more standard we could also see that tied into game/music events more as well

It was kinda a thing even in the early SNES days, at least in a basic way Mario world would add a bit of a drumming back-beat when you jumped on Yoshi

I've run into it in a few games, but it's often subtle.

I liked the idea of DirectMusic. Gameplay influenced music scores are an under-used concept

Of all the things I've wondered about my Linux install... this was not really one of them, no

I don't really have a problem believing this. There seem to be an increasing number of apps - often promoted through ads in social media - which are required to do operations that just as easily could be done via a website, but are likely a requirement in other to additional harvesting capabilities of an installed app or malware

I'm confused by Lenovo's naming these days. Before, "pad" used to denote the hybrid/tabletized devices with detachable touchscreens, and stuff like "note" and "book" tended to be laptops of varying size. Now it looks like "pad" is just laptops, or maybe it means the thinner ones?

I'm assuming that's a "draft" resolution to get a general idea rather than the fine/longer-print version
