Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D
In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.
Yup.
It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).
Wholeheartedly agree. Not too many more though I hope. Once a platform reaches a certain point all the general public arrives and everything goes to shit. You have to keep your corner of the internet nerdyish to avoid this. Been true since the early 2000s for forums and then social media.

Thank you for posting this. Lewis Hamilton has always been measured and intelligent. It really bothers me how he gets misquoted or selectively quoted. Media is trash.
You're not wrong but I don't see what that has to do with my point, which was - don't blame distros for this. They can influence the conversation but not control it. If you find what you want isn't supported then pick something that supports most things like Ubuntu, or Nobara.
Driver support is down to the manufacturer. Distros can’t give you things that don’t exist.
North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.
Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.

Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.
