I don’t use calc for much more than basic calculations. Even speedcrunch was too much for my taste. Honestly, I’d use bc if it wasn’t for the complicated syntax.

The store offers the downloads on the links you provided, that’s not the point. The point is that if I, as a consumer, want to get a game cheaper than it’s listed in Steam, I have to find a reseller to sell me a key that might not work or even get me banned (see G2A) and has none of the protections that come with buying from an official store. If not for Valve’s anti-consumer policy, I could just go to Epic and buy it cheaper there because they take a smaller cut.

Having a mandated universal standard stiffles innovation, though. Lightning only exists because of how bad microUSB was. Sure, USB-C is better in every way and it was time for Apple to make the switch but it made sense at the time. Imagine if all devices were mandated to have microUSB back then, we wouldn’t be moving to USB-C until now.

Yes, you can. I have no idea if they’d do anything but you definitely can.

Mostly right but nobody in Latinamerica refers to themselves as American in any language. It would be weird.

Yes, but they technically count as “the Caribbean”

North America is entirely defined by the NAFTA. Geography is mostly political.

If you’re gonna group them like that, there’s no Americas, it’s America.

  1. VLC with SMPlayer. I don’t understand why they keep shipping VLC as default. It sucks.
  2. Kate with KWrite.
  3. Nano with Vim in *buntu variants
  4. Elisa, Rhythmbox, etc. with Strawberry. Although I mostly just use Spotify nowadays.
  5. Calculator with calc.

Everything else works just fine, unless the distro made an insane choice like having XTerm as the default terminal emulator.

Would you ask any follow up questions about astrology or try to get me to stay?
