Just like they say, you can modify the code and remove for free if you really want, they’re not forbidding you from doing so or anything
True, but I think you are discounting the risk that the actual god Anubis will take displeasure at such an act, potentially dooming one's real life soul.
The IR is designed to be easy to optimize, not easy for a real machine to execute. Among other things, it assumes it has access to an infinite number of registers so that it never needs to (and in fact is not allowed to) write a new value into a previously used register.
Ah! Yes, I see where you were coming from now.
Just to be clear: my criticism is not that the other commenter was lying or being disingenuous about their own experiences, but that they made sweeping generalizations in their comment.
It seems a little weird to compare them, given that GIMP is primarily for editing bitmap images and Inkscape is primarily for editing vector images.
Because people with the free time to do so have already come together and organized themselves around a single Linux distribution for this purpose?
You do not come across as clever as you think that you are when your central point is that you personally are not capable of understanding code written in a different programming language.
I am sorry that you have had this much trouble, but I cannot agree that this experience is as typical as you are making it out to be. For me, the experience has always been that I install Linux and it Just Works out of the box, save for some things like printer/scanner drivers which you generally also need to download on Windows. Furthermore, it is far more pleasant as a desktop experience than Windows.
(In fairness, though, I completely agree with you that Windows has more capabilities than Linux, given all of the advertisements it insists on showing me.)
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.

Clarification: it is actually The Ten MM Socket.
(In Middle Earth they do not exactly have machine shops, so they were only able to make one of them.)
Oh, so the picture is showing that One Ring! Makes sense now.
In fairness, the holodeck computer seems generally prone to go way overboard when constructing extrapolations of people, since that is how it also gave us a fully sentient Moriarty.
