Is it possible the rough edges of Trisquel would turn OP’s friend off of Linux as a whole?

I like using the tool called “import”. It’s a command line program that takes a filename for it to write to. It gives you the option to write whatever save name logic you want around it.

I completely agree. But most people don’t see how significant free software is (e.g., OP’s friend is using Windows). If a libre system means a worse experience for the user, many won’t care enough to stick with it.

Linux with proprietary software is at least a step in the right direction; I agree that it’s not the final destination though.

Thanks for introducing me to this song, I like it a lot! I can’t really think of a song like that, but most of the time I’m just treating the vocals as another instrument and not paying too much attention to the lyrics.

Truthfully

I completely agree. Software that utilizes dark patterns to push me towards behavior that monetarily benefits them while degrading my experience simply rubs me the wrong way.

I’m kind of curious why you don’t just buy a HDD or two. At $600 a year you’d break even really quickly.

That makes sense! Thanks for sharing

I’ve had issues with add-ons on some sites too. For those times I just use a different Firefox profile (each has its own set of add-ons and settings :D)

I know a lot of people like macOS, and I’m sure they get a lot done with it. For me however, it’s easily my least favorite popular OS. That’s even considering the terminal running zsh by default, which is miles ahead of Windows.

A quirk that recently bit us at work is that Safari has a maximum allowed version based off your OS version. Now if it was just me as a user, I’d download a 3rd party browser. However, as a developer, I have to build solutions that work for every “reasonable” browser. This means I can’t use features that every modern browser has, including Safari, because Safari from 4 years ago didn’t have it.
