Archaic single point switches, slow service, no transit priority, poor station quality, poor station spacing. It's a long list.

Capital in the Twenty-First Century from a physical book, Science in a Demon Haunted World on my Xteink X4, and Why Nations Fail on my Kobo.

The X4 was discontinued and replaced by the "X4 Classic". It does not have USB C.

> People on bikes are not doing these things and are not contributing to the tax base as much as car drivers

If you live in car dependent suburbia, sure. And it sounds like you do.

And again, little of what you said is based on fact, only grievance.

I never said Canadian-made furniture is inherently superior. My point was simply that the blanket statement that you can't buy a decent couch for around $2k isn't universally true. I bought one in that price range that's solid wood and well-built. It even has removable cushions.

Quirks, nonetheless, but after using the app for a few hours the logic starts to click.

To answer your questions, I'm guessing:

- Pressing Back in YouTube closes the comments so you can continue watching the video.

- If you tap a link in YouTube and it opens a browser, it'll default to an in-app browser with an X in the upper-left. If you've disabled that browser, pressing Back returns you to YouTube.

It was Windows 7 when Microsoft added an overflow for tray icons, not XP.

GNOME is stylish, but what really sells it for me is that the apps match the aesthetic and feel cohesive.

I won’t disagree with you, KDE is certainly usable from a clean install. But calling GNOME primitive in comparison feels off to me. It was actually KDE’s applets and overall fit and finish that pushed me toward GNOME.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. I recently migrated to Fedora from Windows 11, which gave me the chance to try Plasma, GNOME, and a couple other desktops.

Plasma is exactly what I don't want in a DE. It’s extremely configurable, but also overwhelming, and I don’t think that’s something the average user would feel comfortable navigating.

I ended up choosing GNOME. It feels visually cohesive, and the design is much more opinionated — they’ve clearly made decisions about what should and shouldn’t be part of the core desktop experience.

I worked for Home Depot's Canadian division up until last year when they laid me off. They do everything in-house out of Atlanta for US operations.
