Unrelated, but it is interesting that people ask for addictive games rather than for good games. Those are not the same.

Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.

iPhone XS Max, 2018. The only reason I might update is for the better camera. But this is marginal. I tend to buy one of the top line iPhone once in about 5 years, with enough memory. And they last long time. I might consider changing battery instead and get another 2 years… Apple is also super good with software updates on old hardware.

Call me lazy, but I like terminal 1. Usually shortest distance from the station building.

What happened with Ubuntu? I tried Linux once, like 15 years ago, and Ubuntu just worked.

Quite possible. But chance of non-technical person to do Windows install on new computer is zero. Re-instal, on the other hand, is very easy - I have done it couple of times.

If your hardware happens to be supported, everything should work out of the box without the need to install drivers;

Is not it true with Windows? Plug and play? And while I did not study this, I strongly suspect that it is more true for Windows than for Linux.

After many weeks spend on downloading and installing various things for linux, he complains that he needs to download drivers for windows, a process that will take one afternoon or less. Makes sense. I understand that Linux is a tech toy for a techy, but pretend that somehow it is easier installation and setup than windows for average person is just dishonest. Even which flavor of linux one should install creates a stupor for non-tech person (or a person who never used linux).

So, use the phone instead.

You do not pay, but Google does collect money one way or another. Regardless, it is their product, which is different from iPhone being a product.

Selling point is not the same as sales.

I also would point out that Google and Apple sells very different things. Apple does not sell iOS. It sells hardware to customers and the right to access users through this hardware to third parties (game makers). Google’s product to begin with is software (Operating System) on multiple phone platforms. Different laws and rules may apply there.

Not if you are on Android phone.

Yes, the same way I can watch movies for free on Netflix, after I sign in with my account.

Android. Where is WINamp?

Citing gaming as reason for Linux is … unusual.

Why Ubuntu is considered a bad choice?

Why?

Ah! Got it. Like windows, Linux, etc…

I do not get reference to smartphones. In US iOS is dominated system.
