  • I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

    That’s nice, but this ain’t MacOS or Windows. This is Linux.

    Sorry but 20 years of “but this isn’t exactly like Winders11!!!one!” starts to grate on me. It’s a different OS with a different philosophy and a different workflow. Everbody coming from Windows had to learn to deal with the nuances of that OS as well, nuances they’ve completely forgotten about because it’s second nature.

    I don’t WANT Linux to be exactly like MacOS and Windows. I want it to stand on its own, with its own ideas on how to run a computer.








  • What makes you think there’s no way of updating the firmware?

    I don’t know, but the amount of USB drives I’ve seen with a readily identifiable serial or jtag port and API documentation is exactly zero. 😉

    I think most of them were one-and-done, as in, code/hardware was designed once, and never iterated on again, at least not for devices already in the field.
