I have a 6 years old PC (around 1000€ at the time). The only problems I can think of were caused by Nvidia drivers. It's true there can be still some rough edges in Wayland, but at least for me, nothing that I can notice in my day to day.

Thousands of users use daily distros based on Wayland without problems. Maybe you had bad luck and something on your system is not fully compatible. But for the majority of people Wayland works fine. Have you tried different distros?
I think many haven't read that part, as it is hidden by default and one have to expand the answer to see it. At least that was what happened to me... I didn't noticed it until you pointed it out.
Just ask your favorite AI "How U.S. compares to others countries in healthcare metrics?" and you'll probably get a detailed list of how U.S. healthcare is more expensive than many other countries while ranking quite low in outcomes: life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic disease, ... (and also having part of the population out of the insurance network)
You are entitled to have whatever opinion you want on the matter, but that doesn't change the facts.
I had the almost the same thought. It reminds me of every time I hear Americans saying that they don't want their tax dollars going to the "wrong people" (even if the majority of support is going to people that actually needs it).
I think that using 0.0.0.0 it's a bad idea. That is supposedly opening the port in all network interfaces, including the external ones. So, if you don't have a firewall (especially on the remote server) you are exposing something to the world.
OTOH if I'm going to use some tunnelling/port forwarding quite often, I would use the config file option, but for an one time or sporadic use, the command line option is better IMHO.
I received once a mail from my bank at the time stating that they have a message for me, but for security reasons I have to read it on their systems. And they provide the following link: https://cbk.pwlnk.io/~hc
The bank's name is CaixaBank. I was wrong and the message was legit. My first thought was it was a scam :)
I have noticed that runas is mentioned as an already existing sudo alternative, but as far as I know, runas asks you for the administrator's password. sudo asks the own user password. This is how you give a non administrator user the right to use some application/tool without revealing the admin's password.
Actually "aparcar" and "estacionar" are synonyms (at least in Spain, but I think also in latin America [0])
Maybe you meant "parar" or "detener" (to stop), that don't clarify by them self if the engine has to be stopped or not (usually is the whole sentence what clarifies that)
You paint a figure from point A to point B. Then It just starts from point B to paint the same figure you painted (same speed and all). At same time it removes from A side what is repainting at B side.
If you manage to paint a figure that starts and ends at the same point, then it stays in place and seems to be a static draw.
If you just draw a straight line, it just starts "to move" forward.
Yes, there are invisible buffers, but the discrepancy doesn't come from this. Drive makers count the space in 1000 -multiple units (i.e. 1GB = 1000*1000*1000 bytes) whereas in computing units are usually count on 1024 -multiple (i.e. 1GiB = 1024*1024*1024 bytes)
So 1TB = 1000*1000*1000*1000 bytes/1024/1024/1024 = 931GiB (or 0.9TiB)
> Every time there is a Windows update that is "major" enough, it will wipe the existing Linux bootloader.
I think that has not been true for a long time. At least if you are using UEFI. Windows respects UEFI enough to just change own stuff in the EFI partition. Windows will change the default boot entry to itself at installation time, but so every Linux distro do. Notice that nowadays you can install Windows *after* Linux and you just need to change the default OS back to Linux if you want so.
I'm a Linux user myself, but this is one of those myths that should end. I have had a Windows partition for almost three years that I only use to update Windows (all Windows 10 versions up until now and Windows 11 in the last update). Not once the update has affected my boot options.
I didn't see anywhere,for those who have Telegram and want to see the claim, it's here: https://t.me/minsaudebr (Unfortunately web preview without Telegram seems to be not working right now)
As I see it, the author want his software to be "de facto" not open source while retaining the Open source label. And he tries to achieve that by appealing to the kindness of the people: "I'm the author, please do like I say...".
IMHO the author needs to put the license he really wants (restricting the use of his project) and deal with the consequences. If you put an open source license to your project people make certain assumptions... like they can use your project.
If you want your software to be used in one and only one project and in a certain way, then it is not open source.
Well, at least Michael Widenius, the most visible head of MySQL and one of two cofounders, is finnish. He also created the MySQL's fork MariaDB. Both names came from Michael's daughters My and Maria.
