  • Or use both. That's what I do, they serve suitably different needs for different situations, even if there is an overlap, and it's not like they're heavy tools

  • But then for that you have distrobox, which is great. If that's not enough, running another OS is also trivial, so that downside really is only 'kinda', as you say!

  • To say I'm annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:

    currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

    So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses $ for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.

  • Well, it's not really clear-cut, which is part of my point, but probably the 2 most significant people I could think of would be Babbage and Turing, both of whom were English. Definitely could make arguments about what is or isn't considered a 'computer', to the point where it's fuzzy, but regardless of how you look at it, 'computers were invented in America' is rather a stretch.

    Who wants to tell the author that not everything was invented in the US? (And computers certainly weren't)
