I agree about that today, but it wasn’t always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.

And yet we still did it. From floppies.

Ubuntu’s role in the ecosystem is important.

I think it used to be. There’s still some inertia, but Canonical has used up a lot of goodwill through the years and other distributions have picked up the slack.
Nowadays I wouldn’t point a newcomer towards Ubuntu. It’s trash. Just use anything else.

I was very confused by all this (also I don’t use consoles unless you want to consider the Deck as one) until it dawned on me that what people are apparently now calling “disk drives” are apparently “optical disk drives/readers”.

Aren’t games dematerialised on consoles nowadays? Or is it strictly a PC thing?

Nothing. But you never know

Meanwhile in Europe:

How am I ever going to carry a couch on my bicycle? Haha, silly me. I don’t carry couches. (Or I’d just spend a whooping 80 euros to rent a van for a few hours)

So we need to reboot a server / swap a drive. Who’s on call?

Isn’t there a saying? A Texas wedding where nobody gets shot is a boring affair?

Maybe I’m confusing it with something else.
