It saves a lot of money for each subscription service you can skip.

I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn’t keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling…

Eh, well, at least I get to keep something out of it.

There was a guy who was charged with a DUI in Wyoming, USA who argued successfully that the horse knew the way home and he was just a passenger.

Ah, yeah, you’re right.

For some use cases, yes those would be better choices. Since your original post talks about “breathing new life” I’m assuming we’re talking about computers that are too old to recieve Windows updates or are too slow to be used with bloated Windows. In those cases, instead of throwing the device out, installing Linux is a good choice since it has lower RAM requirements, allowing you to open more browser tabs.

I’m so confused. If Linux uses less RAM at idle than Windows, wouldn’t it be better choice for systems with low RAM?

This is an issue with browsers, not Linux. RAM usage will be lower on Linux than on Windows.

That is an absolutely wild default!

By default it deletes your own files off your hard disk?

Where do the Japanese store their eggs?

The Miata and the BRZ/GR86 aren’t fast though.

I remember them tasting good but being hard like rubber.

It’s crazy I needed to enter “develop Firefox” as an other field for what Mozilla’s main focus should be.

Have you ever been prescribed a wolf?

GIMP opens HEIC and WEBP files and it’s available on all operating systems.

Yeah you’re right. I was thinking specifically Bitcoin and the astronomical amount of compute power that’s behind it.

Fixing bugs all day for work can be rewarding though. Fixing bugs at 3am for the assignment that’s due that day, not so much.

If you had 51% of the world’s computing power (to blockchains using proof of work) yes you could forge records, from what I could wrap my head around about blockchains.

Sounds like the plot of a Star Trek episode.
