But those are Americans.

When last could a family in America raise two kids, have a stay at home parent, buy a house send them to college and still save for retirement on a single teachers salary. Most of the Abby boomers had that.

The problem is they are not moving the 500+ factories that feed that lab. They are not moving the over 100 raw mineral resources supply chains.

They are just moving the last few steps to the US.

They are doing this ass backwards.

Would not say equally shitty, otherwise they won’t have popular support they do.

You are correct however that they are not pro consumer.

They are just a smarter, wiser business with a sustainable business model that understands the importance of consumer trust.

Yes, Predictable release cadence is also important.

Manufacturers have to validate that it is going to continue working and remain supported. Rolling releases are basically impossible to accommodate in that process.

It’s also likely that Canonical is providing free assistance to them, in order to secure enterprise contracts on the other end.

It’s usually 10% of the device MSRP for windows pro.

There are some very low cost devices that get it for $10 for windows home…

Wages have not kept up with productivity and GDP increases since the 1970s.

How about making single income middle class families possible again, so you can have one stay at home parent.

Native Realtime collaboration on documents and spreadsheets is the last feature holding us back from switching in business environments.

If you don’t have admin rights on your work pc, you can install fancyzone by installing powertoys from the microsoft store.

That “small subset” is hundreds of millions of devices made in the last 5 years alone.

The problem with Linux (not their fault), is that most of the problems appear in hardware made in the last 3 years.

Most of the hobbyists I speak to that have failed linux desktop experiences mostly switch back to windows due to:

1. Hardware compatibility issues.
2. Microsoft office interoperability limitations of the web based office.
3. Display scaling issues on multi-monitor setups and some linux applications.

Personally for me the list is:

1. Bluetooth not being detected on my particular asus laptop. (The same bluetooth chip works in other laptops)
2. Multi-monitor scaling and resolution issues when 3 external monitors are connected via thunderbolt doc.
3. Lack of good alternatives to fancyzones
