I’ll be downvoted to hell for saying this. But in this event I think it’s better for you to upgrade to Win 11 or maybe even move to MacOS (mac mini is pretty cheap), though I don’t know if you’ll find your replacement apps.

I use Win for work (no choice there) and Ubuntu at home (just browse the net, and only browser applications).

One of my Indian friends said she felt invisible when visiting France. Apparently being stared at just for being a woman is common in India.

Curious, why not Ubuntu? Doesn’t it have more support forums and generally more popular?

Address some of the issues. Like not having multiple similar posts, on different instances with similar named communities.

Also to reach critical mass, we need to keep posting. Addition of new apps such as Boost will also increase popularity

Yes!!! Complete change in general usage of the word.

People in EU use mostly WhatsApp and Messenger, cuz most people don’t have iPhones

I think that might help, asking for volunteers. Segregating them based on their abilities (LinkedIn profile for instance). There are a lot of people who have a couple of hours a week they can spend for such a cause. Please check with your colleagues and see if asking for volunteers is possible.

Donating money is also an option, but in this economy, it’s not sustainable to donate significant sums on a recurring basis for most.

Other than gamers, there’s a huge share of enterprise Windows users. And they’re not likely to shift OS, because of IT admin issues. Others in this thread have commented on how Apple is struggling to get devs to build native games compared to Windows.

Sure the number of home PC users might decline, one can always hope.

Elementary OS is very similar to MacOS. Check it out

Currently the real estate market seems to be on very shaky grounds as developers have debts that they’re not being able to pay off. So bonds whose coupons are due are not being paid.

Chinese citizens generally pay up front a certain amount (or fully) long before they move into their apartments. This money is generally used to complete construction. But developers seem to have used this to buy other properties for construction, over leveraging themselves. And now that construction is wayyy behind schedule and the people still can’t move in, they’re refusing to pay their mortgages causing banks to pull back lending and become more strict with debt restructuring for developers.

Tldr: Way too many homes built for people who don’t want them. Lots of loans might be unpaid. Might affect other sectors.

Anyone else feel two massive countries (Russia and China) are lurching from serious crisis to crisis (war, economic slowdown) and just feels like the “I’m in Danger” meme?

OnePlus somehow never completely avoided issues. I remember on the 5 there was a display issue too.
