Adding to that, Russia was never communist or even socialist. Marx never intended ownership as a concept to be discarded, only that workers would always own what they needed to work.

That’s nice… if you only plan to run a bare operating system. Try processing some big-ass data files with R.

“Not that difficult” but still more difficult than being able to boot without a separate live USB drive.

Admittedly, but I for one can say with justified self-reliance that I expected this outcome even before the directive was in force.

True, but… When MBR Grub drops to rescue or doesn’t appear at all, it’s not only difficult (at least for newbies) but somewhat random if you can actually boot a given OS. With EFI Grub, I’ve often managed to boot using BIOS boot override to launch a usable Grub configuration.

Quite agree. It is next to impossible to find solid cases any more, because only transparent ones are sold. The one manufacturer left still making solid cases seems to be Fractal Design.

Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.
