> In my experience Ubuntu has the worst issues with displays of any distro.

In my experience, it has zero issues. I use nvidia binary build. I have since 2006 through various nvidia GPU's.


> WSL is more powerful than Linux because of how easy it is to run multiple OS on the same computer simultaneously.

I do that with KVM too, and each has their own kernel, not one shared kernel made and controlled by one vendor.


Am I the only one who would like the option to run some Android games on Ubuntu? I like the Java version of Minecraft but worry it may be discontinued some day and the Bedrock edition doesn't run on Linux.

Well the Bedrock edition runs on Android, which uses the Linux kernel. Seems like getting Android games to be officially supported on Linux would be great, how about it Google?


> Java is a great success story. Though, to be fair, James Gosling was the spark but has not been the steward.

That's like saying Linus was only the spark for git because he spent two weeks hacking it from scratch.

The whole world uses git now.


Then I guess Ubuntu has had reasoning for several decades:

    sudp
    Command 'sudp' not found, did you mean:
      command 'sudo' from deb sudo (1.9.9-1ubuntu2.4)
      command 'sudo' from deb sudo-ldap (1.9.9-1ubuntu2.4)
      command 'sup' from deb sup (20100519-3)
      command 'sfdp' from deb graphviz (2.42.2-6)
    Try: sudo apt install <deb name>


Seems odd there's no comments on this story? Reddit/r/microsoft is all over it.


I think what you describe is an anecdote.

> Don't know how many programming jobs this describes but ai is definitely nibbling at the lower end of the market.

Now it's starting to sound like it was written by someone working in marketing at an AI company.


> I don’t quite see the link to AI though?

Then open your eyes. It was exactly 2022 exactly as the article states.


Google Maps and Bing Maps (what a dumb name) both work great in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

Apple completely blocks all users of any browser on Ubuntu.

Isn't Apple the worst monopoly in existence today?

Yes. It is.


Your last two sentences don’t at all follow the first two…you literally mentioned 2 competitors, one of which is probably an order of magnitude more popular.


Here is anticompetitive, I use Firefox on Ubuntu Linux and went to Apple maps site, here is what it says:

https://maps.apple.com/unsupported

"Your current browser isn't supported"

I thought OK, how many people use Firefox on Linux. So I went to their site in this browser, Chrome (most popular browser in the world on the most popular Linux Desktop OS, Ubuntu)...same error.

Every site I visit in Chrome (and Edge when I use it for the few sites I use it for) works on Linux.

Apple should be the target of breaking up. Why isn't Y Combinator and the U.S. going after them?


And of course it works when I change only the user-agent to windows.


Same here with firefox, FreeBSD.


Does Apple have a monopoly on web maps?


I'll be honest, until this, I didn't even know you could go to maps in your web browser and use it there. I figured it was really for iPhones and iPads.
