The problem can be anywhere downstream of the can. After a vacation, I pulled 12 out of a cleanout T in my yard from a house-sitter we won't be using again...
Surf is great if you want one very slim browser for reading and some other fat browser for webapps. I've been really impressed how much more advanced surf is compared to dillo.
Yeah, I occasionally connect a linux laptop on both networks (ipforwarding OFF) with an http port open that exposes my fileserver mounted on the laptop via NFS. If that's too hard, I just pull the hard drives out and connect to my workstation with USB, also good for imaging the machines since they crash so dang often.
There's also a disposable culture around the resources involved. A mentor of mine always says "You can have it, but if you break it then you get to keep both pieces". Without value in the broken pieces, no one needs to clean up their own messes anymore, so there's no need to move carefully or fail gracefully. If you trash your dev env, or even your workstation, it's trivial to roll back or redeploy and get back to work. Management is in on it too. Rather than hire more careful devs, it's easier to just move the explosions farther away from prod, and limit the blast radius. CI/CD
You are comparing a force for good in the world to pushing sugar water. Sugar water OBVIOUSLY depends heavily on branding and advertising. Things that are more substantive can and should stand on their own merits.
That's because people have hands and throats, weapons and weaknesses. You simply can't stop a killer operating at an animal level unless it's stopped while in progress. Stopping organized killing beforehand is however quite feasible, and society does have some responsibilities there.
I'm pretty ok with linustechtips and benheckshow ads for this reason. It's done by the host IN the program, not some post production splicery that can be abused long after the content is created.
Does your boss have a neice that can fix your arm bootloader? He probably has one that can fix your windows bootloader.
This stuff was "dark arts" that we committed to muscle memory in the 90s, and no normal mere mortal will ever learn why the safe mode menu existed, how to hotkey into a boot selection menu, or to boot up a live disk to restore system files. None of that is possible with, say, u-boot. You need to know the kernel load addr, the partition layout, and a ton of crap that just isn't portable from one device to another, and that that's AFTER your done fighting the thing for root access!
Arm workstations Just Won't Work the same way those super permissive x86 workstations did, and that will make them crap for developing on.
Apple was only popular (this millennium) when they were making the BEST PC you could buy, and they did that by tracking with intel's latest and greatest offerings but then intel hit the wall. No innovation from intel, no innovation from apple. We'll be doomed to just get slightly faster busses and radios year-after-year until apple moves to a better core tech partner (Power again pleaaaaase!!!) =or develops a new computer platform totally inhouse (much more likely) that is a performance and quality leader.
