  • For the life of me I cannot fathom why that crowd doesn’t just switch to an Apple ecosystem when leaving Windows. The entire design philosophy is intended to cater to non-tech savvy people, and to keep them that way. Not saying every Apple user is non-tech savvy, but it is built to be stupid simple to use for anyone.

    This YouTuber’s “I can install Linux but abandon it because I can’t figure out why it won’t boot anymore” mentality shows his own limitations.

    Buy an Apple if you want to leave Windows, but have no interest in becoming proficient enough to use Linux as a main driver.













  • I’ve used PowerShell in Windows for the past 15 years. Following dozens of steps in a GUI is not required.

    I also use Linux, with bash and Python for automation. I’ve also grown to love NixOS for its automation options.

    Both operating systems feature rich automation options. Both have ClickOps oriented interfaces for those that want it or are unwilling to learn to automate / use a CLI.

    Doing ClickOps is a choice and a mindset, not a requirement of Windows. Using a CLI in Linux is not a requirement depending on the distro or your use case.


  • I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.

    With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

    Thank you for the tip.


  • You assume this is about taste.

    In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.

    A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar ‘squishy’ textures.

    The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.

    Your SO and I are not the same.




  • I went through the comments to check if someone hadn’t already mentioned exactly this. Here you go.

    I have used PowerShell since its inception, and still believe that the Monad manifesto is very relevant. However in recent years I have switched to Python for this same reason.

    It’s more widely available, especially outside of Windows it already has greater support for advanced features. PowerShell is not a first class contemporary to Python on Linux.

    Quite easy to learn. A lot of default learn materials, tutorials, examples.

    You’ll also be able to find people in market with Python experience more readily (especially going forward) if you need to hire talent for your company.
