Mint works. Most alternatives don’t. I can install Mint on a total newbie’s system, and not have to worry about something breaking two weeks later. Hell, most newbies can install Mint if you give them the USB.

On a deeper level, I think Mint devs are one of the few teams that understand the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ philosophy.

Are the emojis part of your username? How do you do that? And how would someone tag you?

0.999… = 1 in theory also.

Otherwise, there exists a δ such that 1 - δ = 0.999…

Then, the δ should have a first nonzero digit. Let us say it is in the millionth placd. But then, 0.999… cannot have a 9 in the millionth place.

It’s from India, and the percentage of Indians who are libertarians is a rounding error.

It would have been scarier if he wrote ‘I’ve learned to drive in Bengaluru’.

No no, at some point a large part of Europe spoke Basque-like languages. Then Indo-European languages spread westward from Russia, and replaced all the rest.

Well ackshually, the value of the dollar depends on what other countries are willing to pay for it. So Trump could announce something so creative that it spooks multiple governments into dumping their dollar reserves.

The government distros (BOSS and IT@School) are for government offices and schools, respectively. Also, both are open-source. Mostly they add better support for Indian languages, and some educational software.

Android uses the Linux kernel, so it is Linux (but not GNU/Linux). This isn’t just semantics - Android has a UNIX-style filesystem, shell scripts, etc.

But yes, desktop per capita is probably decreasing as well.

If they’re moving to smartphones, that’s still (mostly) Linux.

Or any of the fishes that can transition from one gender to another.

I don’t get it? Is it another Linux joke?

Could handsome male characters be aimed at female players?

No, it’s clearly gay propaganda.

I don’t see anyone here switching to linux on their personal pc other than the IT students who are forced to install kali linux.

I think someone is pulling your leg. All the IT / engineering students I know use either a normal Linux distribution like Ubuntu, or Windows. Kali is for cybersecurity people and wannabe h4X0rs.

Do these private computers run a properly licensed version of Windows? What’s the cost for a license? Same as in other countries?

Only the big ones. Pirated Windows is extremely cheap, and Microsoft doesn’t care too much as they want people using Windows. A new proper licence would be Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000. This is a considerable sum for the average Indian.

Is there more Linux expertise available than in other countries?

I don’t know that much about other countries. I do know that we are probably the most Linux-friendly country in the world. But most of the senior people in the FOSS community are from Europe / US / East Asia.

Most schools in India already use some distribution of Linux.

The government is probably the biggest customer you can get as a vendor / manufacturer. You’d be insane to not give them whatever support they ask for.

And how can those small third parties grow if people don’t vote for them?
