All Rockets Put Passenger Planes at Risk. There, I fixed that for you.

These breakups fall within a statistical analysis sent by SpaceX to the FAA requesting a permit to launch, and the FAA approves it. Like with all other US rockets. The fact that nobody was harmed is proof the system is working.

I'd think this is universal but it's interesting to see others in this thread that disagree.

Can I run Solidworks on Linux yet? Excel? Labview? Vivado? Adobe products? Altium Designer? (Matlab is mostly yes) Not everybody is just writing Javascript and PHP.

Can I get a laptop to sleep after closing the lid yet?

Not that long ago the answer to these questions was mostly no (or sort of yes... but very painfully)

On Windows all of this just works.
