  • Time and time again questions like these come up, and always go unanswered or ignored, mostly since the very question is wrong. Any computer is a good Linux computer, as well as (maybe kinda) any computer is a good Windows computer.

    Instead of asking “is X good for Y”, you should give us more information about your workflow. A thinkpad that is perfect for code editing or general office work is next to useless for CAD work or games.

    So, my advice, in future, tell us what you’re looking for. The underlying OS is just a tool for running your programs. Hope this doesn’t come accross as condescending, this isn’t my goal :)



  • This was a wonderful read. As a non-english-speaker, meeting drag’s first comment was a giant semi to run into, so much so that it mentally hurt to read.

    You’ve changed my mind about drag though. You’re right, it matters little if they’re trolling or not; at the end of the day, if the “price” for inclusivity for ALL pronouns and identities is to encounter a troll every now and then, it’s a price we should be willing to pay, for a better place for everyone.

    (n.b. not claiming they are a troll, just speaking in hypotheticals)
