Would chess count?

I mean chess is not not popular by any stretch of the mind, a lot of people around the world are playing it every single day and that won't go away anytime soon, but I'm always surprised to see so much more excitement going on around a new version of This or That video game that people will play for a little while before switching to a newer version than for chess. Despite its apparent simplicity (and lack of visual effects), chess has remained a challenge for the smartest among us, and will keep on being so no matter how much better computers can be playing it.

I don't think any country has 'a view' on the way to speak their language. I mean, would there be a law, some rules and sanctions against accents?

People may have their own opinion on the matter but that opinion will vary widely from one person to the other.

My opinion, which was already mentioned in another comment, is that anyone making fun on someone speaking a foreign language can (and should) go funk themselves.

We should welcome those kind of efforts instead of mocking them, and we should also be happy to be encouraged to speak more foreign languages ourselves. I say that as I a French that's poorly speaking a few languages and would love to speak a lot more.

What are you looking for in such a guide? Like suggested, Mint installation guide is great to... install it and I needed not much beside that myself (but I was a Mac user, not Windows) ;)

Imho, what most people need is the willingness to give Linux a chance. And that, I'm afraid, no guide could give them.

No, but why would I want to watch another of those Americans pretend they're a super hero saving the world while they only care about shoving their shit deep down our throats and then make us thank them for that?
