> 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.

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.

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?

Agreed, between Google, Microsoft and Apple, Apple is the worst in not contributing jack back to the world. I can't stand how Microsoft was able to get to their status using evil means but at least the Microsoft of today does give back open and free (at least in beer) products. Google is the best of the three in this regard. Come to think of it, not sure where I'd place Amazon on that scale.

As a consumer, I agree with the parent comment and disagree with your comment. Google is closer to a public utility than any other tech company and most of their valuable services, we get to use for free and it benefits our whole family and probably the families of every home from here to the west, north, south and east of us, mostly all for FREE.

If you believe that, you are mistaken. If you're making the assertion on false pretenses, then it is tantamount to trolling.

> The consumer did pay the price. Google built on empire on making consumers believe they were getting things for free

We are getting them for free. What a strange point to try to make.

> You essentially outline why it should be broken up.

I disagree:

    1) My wife and I have a FREE Gmail account we use for home and other combined interests.
    2) We watch all our streaming (movies, docs, etc.) and TV (Tablo TV DVR for free OTA) using FREE Chrome on Linux laptops in our LR, MBR and one for ambiance that runs all day between the kitchen and LR visible across both rooms showing relaxing aquarium and bird videos. We pay for YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime which we watch on Chrome and Netflix is free with T-Mobile. All courtesy of Chrome and Linux. Chrome is the leading browser. We don't want Edge as our main browser, even though it uses Chrome underneath it, like Windows 11 (which we also don't use) is loaded with Microsoftie crap and garbage.
    3) We have individual FREE Gmail accounts for our individual interests.
    4) I have my own FREE YouTube account for tech videos.
    5) We use only FREE Google Maps, the other map services suck in comparison.
    6) We pay $2 a month for Google Drive because it works well (although there is still no Linux client) it works well in the browser (any browser). Amazon's deal for uploading files doesn't work as fluently, tried it. Microsoft OneDrive works OK but only for large single compressed files in my experience, it gets confused with small files and especially borks .git folders.
    7) Google Search, even in the age of AI (or what we are all calling "AI") is still the  best search engine.
    8) There is no way I will ever use an iPhone. Microsoft got out of the phone market which is great since the only thing I can't stand more than Apple products like Mac (which I am forced to use at work because our COO is a die hard Apple fanboy).. is Windows. That leaves Android which has worked extremely well and is technically FREE except the two biggest vendors are Google and Samsung and in this case, Google sucks because we've had several Google phones and a tablet and all quit working too soon, became useless too soon or batteries failed too soon and Samsung is even worse than Microsoft at loading crap and garbage on their phones.
    9) We pay for everything with FREE Google Pay, it works extremely well and doesn't cost us a dime to use.
Windows, the crap that it is, is the monopoly which is incredible because the OS sucks but not as bad as Mac. We should all be using Linux laptops and desktops.
