Meh, that’s tech details that you won’t have to deal with at all
I’ve used Linux on desktop for decades now (started way back at 2002) and the lady time o touched the kernel for normal desktop stuff is literally multiple decades ago
Windows too has a kernel but nobody talks about it because you can’t really do shit with it unless you’re a developer
With Linux you can do whatever the fuck you want and it’s all relatively easy. I can access and modify the Linux kernel in 10 seconds flat if I want to. THAT is why people talk a lot about the Linux kernel, because it’s so easy and powerful to use. Microsoft Windows kernels aren’t even worth talking about.
But as a common user, you don’t HAVE to do stuff with the kernel if you don’t want to. My 70 year old mother doesn’t either and she’s fine using the Linux desktop that I installed for her.
For high intensity gaming you might have to make small modifications here and there in human readable text files, and usually documentation about it is excellent.
Most of Linux is so fucking easy to setup that last time I installed both Linux and Windows, the Linux (Kubuntu) cost 30 minutes to install and that includes the time to download the ISO and burn it on a USB and includes drivers for printers and GPU which were all setup and installed out of the box.
The windows 11 install cost me 7 hours divided over 5 days.
Amongst all the problems I ran into, I had to make BIOS modifications because it refused to install at all, it fucked up badly because I had the gall to burn a standard ISO with a standard ISO burning tool on Linux, completely forgetting that Microsoft always sabotages their software so that it won’t work well with Linux. I had to install windows on a virtual machine install some special fucking Windows ISO burner tool, burn the USB there, then it worked. That cost me hours over multiple days of searching the Internet on why the frack such a basic thing failed, plus the time required to set all that shit up just to be able to START the installation.
Then during the installation I got so many questions, so many questions… So many… Please sign up here, please pay more money, please rent our services, please please fracking please! The install itself took a bloody hour to finish
What I’m trying to say is: Linux is friggin easy. Windows is hell. Windows costs money, spies on you, serves you unwanted ads and your computer is no longer yours.
Why does anyone even use windows to begin with? I don’t get it.

- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 1 week ago:
Because education in the USA is a sad joke? Republicans have been hollowing out education for the past 5 decades or so and they worked hard trying to shove fundamentalist christianity in schools and science classes specifically
The US is tucked and can get fucked

- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 1 week ago:
RGB is for pixels that generate their own light, you add the colors together
CMY is for reflective surfaces that keep certain parts of RBG and reflect others. You can’t work with RGB there because what is reflected is not RGB. There you subtract colors

little ablist
Oh FFS, cut it out already with the “ablist!!” screeching
The guy literally can only move his eyes, he literally can barely do anything without a support staff. He can breathe on his own, he can think on his own, that’s about it
He cannot be a pedophile is not being ablisi, it’s being realistic.
He was there for a scientific conference that was organized there.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 3 weeks ago:
It all comes down to personal higiene.
I’ve been married a couple of times and typically I would always smell when someone was on their period. I regularly smell it at work as well.
My current wife? Not a single smell, ever. No idea what she would smell like of it’s a bad smell.m, she always smells awesome like herself.
Then again, she’s latina and as such really good at that sort of thing.
Just was yourself regularly, not too much, use mild soaps, and figure out what works for your body. Soaps (and even perfumes) work differently on different bodies, so even a perfume may work well on someone but not on you. You gotta trial and error a bit there. Don’t use too much perfumes either.
My wife rarely uses perfumes, she doesn’t need it

- Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved 4 weeks ago:
Ooohhh, I’ve been there!
The CTO couldn’t keep his grubby hands of his employees, loved to “tickle” everybody because it was suuuuch a positive experience for all involved! None of the employees dared to say anything
So anyway, I started blasting. I reported the fucker immediately, the branch where I worked for went ballistic, the one in Malta where he was stationed… Suggested I talk it out with him.
So the Americas branch where I worked started a shit show while I went on my (already planned) vacation. All the VPs said they’d have my back!
When I came back, my first meeting with my devs was replaced with a meeting with HR and the CTO who immediately dumped my ass.
The very next day, the CTO himself was fired and he committed suicide shortly after (no joke)
Moral of the story: fuck corporate environments, they’re fucking toxic as hell and promote this behavior and for all the “we got your back!!” Nobody showed up when I got axed because they were all scared for their jobs, except me.
No. Regrets.
