I took the bait..
just wait 6~ months and switch to amd, there is a good change amd is going to be the "go to" for vga in linux because of amdgpu/pro stack.
It is kind of true that gnome has been stripping stuff more and more, afaik there is to say though that the whole GNOME 3 is a "transition" into a more "unix like" approach in order to modularize everything, like the API for theming.
Can't say much about KDE, everywhere I read people say something along the lines of "just when it reached stability with KDE4, they scratched it up and made a new buggy KDE5", I don't know how buggy it truly is though...I think people exaggerate crashes...Explorer.exe has crashed a shitload on my windwos10 too so it's not like there is a stability heaven for window managers...especially with apps that hook actively in the UI itself, and KDE makes UI customization one of its main goal, some people like it some dont and want something that just works, KDE is indeed love or hate.
Fedora is an upstream version...try centos? Ubuntu won't boot with new video drivers...well I don't know I personally have never experienced boot inability because of video drivers, simply because if they fail it just fallsback to software rendering? It's not like windows does not bsod from time to time because of video drivers...
And even if video drivers make your kernel images unbootable, you can always disable the specific modules from boot command line entry (grub or syslinux or w/e), boot up and revert back. Also there is the whole xorg->wayland transition so there are gonna be hiccups in the near future.
Is linux usable as a desktop? Yes but mostly for a little bit more advanced users, that that much tough but enough to alienate the majority, yes even ubuntu is gonna need command line time to time enough to make it "a bad choice".
Is linux usable as a gaming desktop? Not if you wanna switch from windows to linux, but if you build your rig thinking in advance about running linux it can be. You just have to choose the right video cards (it is nvidia until now, could be amd in the near future), for keyboard/mouse and other perfipherals make sure that they support linux drivers, and if they do not, at least make sure they offer proper help to altruistic coders willing to spend their times reverse engineering the drivers (like roccat!), then it is just gonna be a matter of games supporting linux, or you can use WINE (which personally I think it is ludicrous because spending time and check whatever workaround every game needs is a waste of time, and the whole wine pursuit of d3d is just an effort without long term reward, wine is good for running average windows software though, that it is ok at... ), or kvm with vga passthrough with a windows vm which is in general 95% the performance of baremetal (but then why not run on windows in the first place??? Well...I personally recently switched to linux from windows as main OS because of software compatibility and it is easier to use with docker&friends, others may not like telemetry running on their hardware and are fine with it running in a more controlled vm, others might find the ease with which you can just delete a wm and make another in a few minutes quite handy...).
Maybe the government doesn't want to give them the funds for the pesky little f35s and they are doing this as an act of good will... or maybe a few generals decided it was time for a raise...:p
Isn't that a little discriminatory? The tldr of your post is basically if you are not a good salesman of yourself you deserve your lower pay. This implying every human is supposed to be good at making contracts? I am not sure life is "the wolf of wall street "...
You could say the vpn was built after the chinese acquisition because chineses want to spy you... or you could say that the vpn was built after the chinese acquisition to target the chinese market, since you know... big firewall of China, this could be a great selling point for chinese users.
Why such unicorns would fill in the bubble? Isn't venture capital supposed to be risky? Its not like you are buying stocks.. so the market is not affected... also why companies like fb and ggl and ntflix would be part of the bubble? Because they are generating profit that isn't there?
You said one truth, its hard to find a good weather app on android, the g play search engine is either fucked up or too cluttered with advertisement. The top ones seems to be of all those TV weather companies that apparently have trash mobile devs, because their apps suck ass. I can name you a couple good ones. Weather timeline, AccuWeather, Wecal(also calendar ), 14 days.
I think you are broadening the issue too much, earthquakes happen because giant pieces of dirt floating on magma clash with each other. To know when they are gonna clash you just need more accurate rapresentations of such lands and the push/pull forces within them. It is just a matter data.
Also the fact that "mantle never really worked" is horseshit. Tried first hand on the first couple games it came up with, bf4 and thief and it was all it said it was, reducing cpu overhead and pretty much gaining 25%~ more fps thanks to that.
Thief was also the first and only game up to now to use amd trueaudio but thats another thing

This would be nice... if you have free electricity..

This stuff is true for most common apps like launchers, browsers, messaging, cameras, battery managers, cleaning tools, media players.

Holy f, I am not criminal, fascist, commie, but my mother calls me a zombie so I suppose that's true
And it's the same with water retention
