> In my experience Ubuntu has the worst issues with displays of any distro.

In my experience, it has zero issues. I use nvidia binary build. I have since 2006 through various nvidia GPU's.

> WSL is more powerful than Linux because of how easy it is to run multiple OS on the same computer simultaneously.

I do that with KVM too, and each has their own kernel, not one shared kernel made and controlled by one vendor.

Am I the only one who would like the option to run some Android games on Ubuntu? I like the Java version of Minecraft but worry it may be discontinued some day and the Bedrock edition doesn't run on Linux.

Well the Bedrock edition runs on Android, which uses the Linux kernel. Seems like getting Android games to be officially supported on Linux would be great, how about it Google?

> Java is a great success story. Though, to be fair, James Gosling was the spark but has not been the steward.

That's like saying Linus was only the spark for git because he spent two weeks hacking it from scratch.

The whole world uses git now.

Then I guess Ubuntu has had reasoning for several decades:

    sudp
    Command 'sudp' not found, did you mean:
      command 'sudo' from deb sudo (1.9.9-1ubuntu2.4)
      command 'sudo' from deb sudo-ldap (1.9.9-1ubuntu2.4)
      command 'sup' from deb sup (20100519-3)
      command 'sfdp' from deb graphviz (2.42.2-6)
    Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

Seems odd there's no comments on this story? Reddit/r/microsoft is all over it.

I think what you describe is an anecdote.

> Don't know how many programming jobs this describes but ai is definitely nibbling at the lower end of the market.

Now it's starting to sound like it was written by someone working in marketing at an AI company.

> I don’t quite see the link to AI though?

Then open your eyes. It was exactly 2022 exactly as the article states.

Google Maps and Bing Maps (what a dumb name) both work great in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

Apple completely blocks all users of any browser on Ubuntu.

Isn't Apple the worst monopoly in existence today?

Yes. It is.
