I was saying "need", not know. I like some other terminal features as well, but the point I and anon9361 are both agreeing on is that it had been a while since any terminal commands were required to use the more user friendly Linux distros as Windows substitutes.

Yes. I "need" to know as many terminal commands as I "need" to know command.com commands. Which is basically none, though ls and cd can be useful.

Is it inertia that has people sticking with Windows? That "one app"? The fact that you still have to go a bit out of your way to get a pre-built PC or laptop without Windows? The fact that when a person buys a new computer it comes with Windows pre-installed, while switching to Linux would...

ENIAC had over 5 Million hand-soldered joints. I'm not impressed.

This. The USB miner cost $179, not including electricity costs. The Daily Tennessee jackpot and Rhode Island Wild Money have odds of 1 in 501,942 to hit jackpots that are currently in the mid and upper $100ks, and the Kentucky 5 has odds of 1 in 575,757 to hit a jackpot in the upper $200ks...

It's a huge claim to say that a general-purpose machine is more capable at dedicated tasks than a dedicated machine. How are they measuring this, and what are they measuring against? What are "cloud tasks", and are x86 processors the baseline for cloud tasks? What is GPU use in high-performance...

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/next-laptop-may-have-haptic-touchpad-and-thats-good/ Aah, no. That's what I hate about clickable pads. Trying to select or drag on the pad and accidentally clicking instead.

I assume you aren't modifying the operating system installations. If so you should be able to make a bootable live CD, or thumbdrive to make it modifiable, for each of them, or just for Win 2000 if you want to keep the others as is, and then just have your data on the HDD.

Can your already installed Windows versions even boot in this system? From what I have read, an MBR drive can only contain a maximum of 4 primary partitions. You'd make a fifth by installing another drive. Any reason you aren't using a more modern operating system and a free virtual machine...

I was going to the comments section to make the same observation. I hope someone in the extended Framework community has though of making this option (you can swap the track pad in and out like any other feature). I'd also like more port availability on the 16" model, or through a hub "dongle"...

I think Word has this ability too, it's just hidden somewhere in all of the options.
