I got carded yesterday to buy beer at the grocery store. I pulled out my AARP card and National Parks senior Pass, wasn't good enough. Needed my driver's license.
Adobe and Microsoft will never make Linux versions, because there's not much of a market. Not that there aren't millions of Linux users, but few of them are going to pay for Adobe or Microsoft products when they can get almost the same functionality for free.
You can instead roll out 5G in my neighborhood. You can put a tower in my back yard. Literally, I have half an acre just growing weeds. Of course I will charge you rent for it, but hey.
They're not towers. You won't have 5G towers every 500 feet. You have short poles. Like you already have to carry power and cable, and that one old lady down the block who still has a land line.

Then again, I don't look a day over 65.
You'd also have to convince me to stop using Linux and go back to Windows.
.... will get 5G before it comes to my neck of the woods in Upstate NY.
My TV antenna went up a long time ago, and we haven't had cable TV in 45 years.
And yet PBS broadcasts Nova & the like for free. No cable needed except the one from my log periodic to my TV.
How much dirt is in a hole in the ground that's 1 meter deep and 2 meters in diameter?
Unfortunately, the moon is subject to large variations in temperature. Okay, very large.

If that bothers you, you can run MX Linux, like me.
Actually, systemd doesn't bother me at all, I just like MX, and I ran Mint for 6 years.
Hah! Fat chance of deleting my data, you can't read my ext4 partitions.

Then there's the ten years or more before you get a single watt out of it. Slapping up wind farms or solar is near instantaneous by comparison.
>There was no common ground between the two.
They both sucked.
See if it works on Linux before you start bitching, or paying Microsoft the subscription fee
There's a whole functional Linux OS on your router and TV.
Thanks for the fact check. I voted for Trump because I live in a Hillary state, everybody knew he couldn't possibly win anyhow, and he wasn't Hillary.
Nobody pays attention when I talk, so I have to express myself on Slashdot.
62 million people voted against Hillary.
I like to use webrtc sites like appear.in. No signup, just send a link and you're having a video chat.
Put Linux on it. Problem solved.
PDP-8's can be had pretty reasonable nowadays, although the parts can be hard to get and the power consumption is ridiculous.
... like Mint, Ubuntu, and Arch.
I always liked Serif software, but I have 2 big problems with PS and Affinity: they aren't free and don't work on Linux.
I presume each customer is provided a half mile of fiber to connect to a competitor if they wish.
