Imagine having only one big task (displaying text) and not even supporting ligatures.

Black616Angel ,

Okay, that is fair, but since I also program in terminals using held in or (neo)vim, ligatures are a must have for me.

Plus some nerd fonts even upgrade regular loading animations of some cli-tools.

Black616Angel ,

I mean you do you, but having a "!=" become a "≠" is kinda nice, as are some other = symbols like >= becoming ≥ etc.

Most fonts also allow you to turn of groups of ligatures, that you don't like.
E.g. I never liked "/>" becoming a combined character.

So I don't see the hate about "fixed width ligatures".

Black616Angel ,

Funny enough, the regedit of my work PC was already there with the value set (seems like I already did that a few weeks ago)...

Startmenu is still slower than my personal Linux machine.

Black616Angel ,

Not only that. Opening the same file again, opens it in a new tab ffs. I noticed this, when my ssh-config file (which has no file extension and is thus not linked to a program) had like 10 tabs open... Why would someone do that?

I mean tabs are fine, I guess, but this shit?

Mozilla VPN vor Mullvad

I mean, Mozilla VPN is Mullvad, so yeah. You can trust Mullvad.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Which is good, since M$ Office is still one of (if not the) biggest security holes in all of software due to its macros and how no one uses them securely.

Also also doing things the OS way will lead to less changes in the long run since Microsoft can and will change their layouts as they please, but a well maintained FOSS-fork can stay one way indefinitely.

Have you been near some sort of news in the last years? Corporations using windows get hacked regularly and they are far off from having everything in a database somewhere. You have no fucking clue. What you are describing is the dream of corporate security newbies, but no big corporation let alone some state government is anywhere close to that.

They have massive shares, where all the people can read and overwrite everything, they open all attachments directly on their machine and click away all warnings without reading them. (Who needs USB if you can mail malware directly?)

This is hell and in Germany dozens of smaller or bigger government networks were hacked and massive amounts of data encrypted last year alone.
