I like that I don’t have to update anything on Linux.

I should—and I do—but I don’t have to worry that every time I walk away something else has auto-updated (or decided to stop working unless I agree to update it).

It didn’t used to be such a battle just to get your PC to stop doing things for its sake rather than for yours.

Linux also doesn’t quietly “queue-up” background updates that incrementally slow the machine down to the point where you have to restart it to apply the changes to free up all the garbage temp files stored just to stage Copilot updates or some such nonsense.

US is a net exporter of refined fuels (what you put in your car), but the US doesn’t produce the heavy crude that its refineries are all set up to convert into that fuel.

It’s like saying you produce more cakes than you consume. That doesn’t really mean shit when you run out of sugar, bomb the supermarket, mine the roads between you and the supermarket, and burn all the bridges between you and your neighbors. Can’t exactly “borrow a cup of sugar” your way out of this one.
