Said software must not be resource-intensive, or else you’ll have to do GPU passthrough, which not only adds a heap of complexity, but also requires a dedicated GPU.
Also, I think it’s much easier to teach dual boot (just install Linux, most installers will do the rest automagically) than proper VM setups.
Still, for experienced users, Windows VM is a brilliant option.
I like women, hence, I’m hetero. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Now, you can make categories of dick lovers and vagina appreciators, but “hetero”, just as “homo” and the rest, refers to gender attraction, not genitals. No need to gatekeep that.
I have no objection being called queer, but definitionally I’m just not.
Dual boot should be default suggestion for everyone trying Linux out. No pressure, just try it.
There will always be newbie-oriented distros as well as ones for experienced/professional users. It’s alright if the former will go towards simplification, as long as we have plenty more keeping the tinkering spirit.
Besides, each and every distro has a powerful tool that can help you do everything: the terminal. No one limits you there, and unlike in Windows, terminal is heavily and commonly used.
Interestingly, it’s not about the look of genitalia specifically.
For example, I happen to be a hetero person, yet I appreciate both genitals equally. What matters is how feminine the carrier is. I’ll appreciate a nice dick on a beautiful woman, but on a man…ew. Same with vaginas - if it belongs to a woman, it can be very arousing, but you won’t find trans men in my bedroom.
It’s the same genitals, but their perception is wildly different.
Red are part of the reason they are in Argentina
I know how it works, my problem is that server software is meant to run constantly in the background, and needs to be managed in a specific way, and I specifically don’t want this to happen.
I know I can put self-hosted server behind a VPN, but it’s an entirely different use case.
The rise of self-hosted option comes from the distrust of the Big Tech and the desire to avoid a single point of failure.
Sure, commercial solutions are better hardened, but they are also more likely to be attacked in the first place. And nothing is there to protect you from the prying eyes of those who host it for you, which is a valid threat as well.
Still, one thing better, privacy-wise, than having your own server is to not rely on any servers to begin with.
Aside from all controversy around snaps and stuff, which newbies don’t have to get into, there’s GNOME coming as default.
Desktop environments essentially define how the new user treats the system and Linux as a whole. And I believe GNOME is a terrible starting point, at least for those coming from Windows.
It follows entirely different logic, is very different visually, and overall, adds a lot of extra confusion.
IMO, for a smooth transition, you’d rather offer something based on KDE or at least Cinnamon. Kubuntu will do fine, but it has to be mentioned specifically. Mint will be nice. And then as they explore, they’ll find what fits them best.
Quite some people do, so it’s great such options exist.
My own gripe is with self-hosted apps that don’t need a server to begin with.
Why do I have to run a server to manage my bookmarks? Write down recipes? Control available stock? Manage finances?
All that can be done via local-first apps that may then have some backup functionality (or have files in one place so I could sync them). Adding a server layer only adds complexity and forces me to keep it on or toggle every time, affecting performance and battery life.
No idea, didn’t spot any.

Fair enough. But then again, we went way too far from the meme :)
Plenty of people could make at least small amounts of electricity given respective resources, if they remember anything from school.
E=mc2 will require a bit more involvement. But it can be worked out.
Not if you’re a priest. This is the caveat plenty of people used to move science through the roughest of times.
Exactly. Then you’ll have all the resources and funding you would need.
Sure enough, that would help to make it much better and more reliable, but overall, this is really all you need. Centrifuge that thing, try not to die, and you’ll have a basic nuclear fuel.
Now, to make a good nuclear fuel in large quantity, let alone make weapon-grade uranium most folks are actually concerned about, you need a much better machinery, and this is what three-letter agencies are on the lookout for.
To put into perspective how easy it is to start a “just to make a point” nuclear fission if you have uranium available: there are signs that some natural uranium deposits effectively served as nuclear reactors, generating up to 100kW of heat.

Fair, forgot a bit of context. Then you already have steam-powered machines all over the place, these will suffice!
Can use these, but they may be harder to come across, and don’t have too strong magnetic properties. You’ll need something better if you want to make a decent generator.
Will do for a compass, though.
Terminal is the only thing that is pretty much universal in all distributions. It is too essential to lose relevance. Besides, even when giving advice to new users, you can either list settings for each specific DE and possibly distribution, or you can just give a terminal command.
