  • How do we know that you’re not editorializing your Linux experience? I haven’t experienced a Linux system failing in the last 3 years at the very least. If Linux was prone to failure, the Linux servers I SSH into wouldn’t have uptimes > 1 year. Even NVIDIA hardware is not as fussy as it used to be a few years ago. It either just works out of the box or requires installing one package and rebooting in most distros.

    I’m not accusing you of lying, it just seemed ironic that you accuse people of editorializing the Windows experience while you conclude from anecdotal evidence that Linux is prone to failure.



  • Does “Fine, thanks, and you?” sound negative to native English speakers? That was the standard phrase we were thought since primary school as the standard response to “How are you?”, so it’s surprising to hear that it’s not the standard response (maybe it’s a US vs UK thing, since I was taught British English at first). relevant video

    My answer in Turkish “Aynı” (the same) when asked by friends and family sounds similar to the Russian answer you mentioned. Also it’s more acceptable in informal settings to give an answer like “yuvarlanıp gidiyoruz” (literal translation: we’re rolling; actual translation: it’s going) or “sürünüyoruz” (“we’re crawling”, but a more relevant translation would be “struggling”).
