Im talking more generally, people always claim its the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's just not. And i've been around the block many times, love linux on servers etc. Desktop is hell though.

Well, you're missing out. You want a show with an accurate portrayal of hacking and tech culture? Good luck, it doesnt exist. But at least this show tries to use legitimate tools and techniques used in the real world.
It's also not what makes the show interesting though. I can understand if it's not your thing but this scene should not be the deciding factor.

Yes but no. You'll be struggling to get things work or school expects you to run, gaming is a mess, and if you got the wrong hardware you can expect your OS to randomly give up because there is little support for anything that isnt linux specific.
Its good to get people into linux, but i dont like the dishonest description people use to sell it.

Mr Robot. Rewatching it now and x-files rewatch is next on the list.
Maybe Lost but you gotta kinda vibecheck if it's your thing. And Stranger Things also has the whole mystery vibe going.

Especially time, dont believe the lInUx Is EaSy crowd. it is a learning curve if u want to do anything more than the most basic operations, and you can forget about most of the software you're used to.

It's quite easy to use once you get the hang of it. In most situations, it's the prefered option because you can just have your docker container, choose where relevant files are allowing you to properly isolate your applications. Or on single purpose servers, it makes deployment of applications and maintaining dependencies significantly easier.
At the very least, it's a great tool to add to your toolbox to use as needed.

I have to assume the essence of my point still stands without clarification.

Or maybe if you see racism everywhere, you're the problem.
A big part of the problem that the average person has in relation to race is that they constantly need to be aware of it as to not offend someone who looks to deep into it, and usually isn't even part of the race that's supposedly offended. This constant awareness tends of lead to people forming actual opinions about race.

If your opinion is that jews should not be criticized because they happen to be jews, and you say that as a deflection from the actual argument, you now created someone who has more dislike towards jews because their race is used as a shield from criticism.

And just to clarify, both perspective are stupid, but if you look at how right wing racists think, this is a big part of it.

There is only a racial implication if you look deep into it or your brain is wired to see everything as racist.

It's a process. There certainly are a lot of scams, and correct regulations need to be in place. It is a tool used by people who do harm, though it is not the cause of harm. At the same time, it's helped a lot of startups innovate in non-traditional ways, and i think a global and affordable currency that is not tied to the local currency has the potential to help a lot of people. Ethereum in theory should be more stable in terms of price as it keeps being minted and destroyed trough use of the blockchain. You can speculate with it, or the ERC-20 tokens in it's ecosystem. Ledger size is an issue i've had to deal with myself setting up a node, but it's also an issue that can be fixed in several ways if it looks like it could become a significant enough issue, as they did with PoW to PoS.

I think it's hard to measure what good and bad crypto is done when you only hear about outragous corruption and crime but not how the everyday person uses it. I use it in a way that helps myself and others and I'm no north korean drug lord scamming people.
