OpenBSD fixed this back in 2017.

> the adage of “Windows is for Games” is going by the wayside.

This is the last major reason for anyone to use Windows nowadays, with the exception of legacy applications.

Windows' days are numbered.

This is no joke; for better or worse, I see a day when I'm paying a lot more for this and it will be a bargain.

It's not hype; touch screens won for mobile devices and that's why they all work this way.

Completely concur with this, though I do miss being able to browse for places in Google Maps and easily see when I was last there. This functionality disappeared when my location information went local only.

Some of that is because the other male is whining about something that's really bothering him, but, as a parent, things tend not to affect you as much unless it's directly related to your kid.

Yep. While I've yet to run it on my production workstation, I absolutely love it for single purpose tasks.

It's total bullshit; I should be able to print all the guns I want. Prop guns, plastic replicas of my guns; I shouldn't have to go though this BS.

New comment by binkHN in "What changes when you turn a Linux box into a router"

binkHN — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:21:15 +0000

While I run Linux on my production workstation, I use OpenBSD as my router and firewall at home. I find the configuration of OpenBSD for this a lot more simple and everything that's needed, even for IPv6, is in the base install.

No thank you. While I'm productive when mobile on my 14” 2.8K screen, I'm more productive with the extra headroom on my single 27” 4K at the office.

Android is becoming more Apple-ized everyday; it's horrible and more and more APIs get neutered or disappear, further limiting functionality available to developers.

Right there with you. When Microsoft started pushing Windows 11 over Windows 10, that's when I decided I had enough of my experience being dumbed down. I switched over to Linux, haven't looked back, and couldn't be happier. I still run a Windows virtual machine for those times that I need something native to that operating system, but I should have made the move years ago; Microsoft doesn't care about Windows anymore.

Yep. I miss my plastic phones too.

Same with Windows; that's why I switched to Linux.
