And they all develop their own shitty app for 2FA (the lazy ones just rebrand SecureGo as their own - you still have to install all of them separately) instead of using the 15 year old TOTP standard. The latter is good enough for tiny companies like Google and Amazon but what do they know about itsec, right?
A few more years tops.

Oh, many more were upset - just too lazy to inconvenience themselves with switching platforms.
Are we being overly anal about semantics here?
Usually not but your whole activity in this thread reads like you’re just hating on Linux for some reason: “too diverse!” “it destroyed my ssd!” (which I doubt). In that context your claim to have been a user just looks like a half-truth to give yourself some credibility.
Anyway, back to the actual topic: I don’t care about mass-adoption. Everything turns to shit when the masses pour over it. In my opinion, Lemmy has reached the critical amount of contributors to get it going, except more actual scientists maybe.
People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS.
What? Only techies know that, 99% users don’t and wouldn’t care.
I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.
I’m starting to doubt you actually did since KDE isn’t a distro.
I won’t nitpick how Linux is a kernel not an OS but how is it not widespread? It just runs basically the whole internet…
The reasons the average Joe doesn’t use it for their desktop are convenience (Windows and macOS come pre-installed) and that you can run into technical issues due to bad support by hardware vendors. The latter is a chicken/egg problem and will possibly never be resolved.
Anyway, I disagree it’s due to the number of choices - we don’t need monopolies. Your grocery store is full of different brands of cheese and all of them still stay in business.
learning programming is BORING
Then it’s not for you. No shame in that. I don’t understand the notion that everyone is supposed to be a coder now.
If anything, the low-level coding part is something AI models may well make obsolete relatively soon. Unlike any craftsmanship - why not learn masonry or carpentry instead?

AC is possibly the only application that can be run by solar power alone though.

Up to 14 cans is technically limited but I don’t think that limit is relevant for the average person. Or what do the Americans say?
You think they make those slides themselves?
Would you agree that what makes Linux laughable as a replacement for consumers is how splitered or fractured it is?
Again, while you might have a point, your tone just sucks and makes me not want to interact with you.
Consumers can just pick one off-the-hook polished distro like Mint and are never even confronted with all the possible choices.
I also think “year of the desktop” is a unicorn (even if it were to come, you wouldn’t pin it on one year - it’s a process) and I personally believe that if Windows is going to die, it will be replaced by some web-only shit instead of another local desktop-based OS.
However, Linux desktop adoption did increase quite steeply in the past few years and to a point I confidently moved also my wife’s and mother’s computers to Linux because it actually causes me less headache than Windows did.
So, no need to be condescending and sarcastic about it.
This is a good summary. It really depends on the game. There even are a few examples where a Windows native game runs faster on Linux with Proton.
The thank you for your patience one has always rubbed me wrong.
I wouldn’t say wrong - it is disrespectful since I wasn’t patient by choice. You fucked up, you own it. But then I’m not a native speaker, maybe it just feels that way in my country.

127.0.0.1 then?
