You don't get to pick and choose your fights with powerful neighbours. We have a saying, power doesn't pray to god. You have to avoid fights with someone who is 20 times your size. Those are just simple facts of life. A monkey doesn't challenge a gorilla for it's territory.

Not too hard, especially if you plan on running the same software on your new distro. Basically, all of the settings are in your home directory (/home/[username]/), so you could just copy everything from your home directory and that's that.
Not only that, but you could also set up your home dir to be on another partition or drive. Basically, you don't have to copy anything if you set up your distro like this. You just point the new distro to your former home directory, this is home now, and it'll just use all of the settings from there. Sure, some settings and files are distro specific, but you can manually delete those if you want to free up a few MB of space.
MS realized that the way into the future is making the OS a subscription, like Apple did. Yes Apple were first, MS copied. You see something that's good, you adjust to implement it on your terf.
Regarding the charging for updates part, I don't actually own a Mac, so it's just what I've read over the years online. I'm sorry if I made a mistake on that part.
You do have a point though about MS passing the ball to the manufacturers regarding the drivers. Still, even with just the native drivers, Windows supports a lot more hardware than MacOS does.
Regarding the NT kernel vs the *BSD one, I just don't agree. Sure, the team behind it might be top notch, but in my experience the *BSD kernel is more stable. Sure, lack of drivers, smaller user base, but if you manage to get everything running, any of the BSD flavors is rock solid. Sorry, but can't say the same about the NT kernel.
I run Linux daily, I've never seen an ad (unless it was in a browser).
Well, they kinda asked for it. They were told not to apply for NATO membership numerous times (this is the real reason why the war started... this and land, but mostly this). When you have a powerful neighbour like Russia, you can't just do whatever you want. USA planting it's ass in Russia's back yard is not something you get to play with. Same thing, but reversed, was with the Cuban missile crisis, but Russia backed off.
You don't get to do whatever you want when you have powerfull neighbours.
Yeah, most definitely the "weed" effect.
Well, moonshine made it.
Question: I have a semi-retired 2010 Mac mini server (two HDDs in it) that is running OCLP and MacOS Monterey. It runs, but it crawls without an SSD. I use it for music playback and occasional web browsing (which is painful). I am wondering if Linux would run better, but would prefer to keep a dual boot with MacOS.
Something NetBSD related might run better, but that's about it.
Don't dual boot an OS that has no security support whatsoever.

You can use it for storage... that's about it.
Yeah, don't overthink it. There is always tomorrow.
.mf should be a good tld for him.
Yeah... shit happens, don't overthink it.
Excuse my language, but that's fucking ridiculous. I would never use a service that didin't offer me the option to log in via plain http/https.
Jesus π€¦... the things we have to resort to just to cancel a payment.
