I think the EU has largely abandoned the high road with the moralizing finger and just focuses on navigating this world without imploding or tearing itself apart. The moral high ground hardly changed the world for the better so better to just focus on what’s required for your own stability and prosperity.

Carrot or stick. Even Trump should be able to understand the choice laid out before him. Whether he cares is something else, being so disconnected from anything resembling reality or sanity.

We’ll take any scientist, nurse and IT pro without a second thought.

Join the EU! We like you and our respect for you has only gone up (excluding pp)

It’s quite easy actually. Just google linux surface and you will find the project website where they list all surface models and potential issues with installation guidelines. I have a pro 8. The only thing not working are the cameras as nobody has figured out the drivers yet.

Edit: Project GitHub page https://github.com/linux-surface/

I have similar experiences. I converted my surface laptop to linux and overall I’m happy that I did, but games that ran fine on windows now are unplayable because I can’t get it to work properly, neither with wine, unbottled nor proton.

I still have a W10 gaming pc and I planned on converting it to linux with pop os being the frontrunner, but I will keep it on dual boot with the fallback scenario of just going with W11. Linux is not and might never be ready for mass adoption because it is simply too reliant on volunteers, forums and self-troubleshooting for that.

Microsoft and Apple provide OS’es that are thoroughly tested and validated with firmware and drivers that are specifically written for them by people whose job it is to do that. It might not always be perfect, but it usually does what it needs to do right away.

I think this is a correct assessment. Beating Russia back from their invasions is one thing, going after one of their major cities however is a red line where I think they will actually deploy nukes.

x 3 + 3 obviously.
