As a student I would love if this resulted in more software portability in education spaces. As it stands, have the classes I take only want Microsoft proprietary formats (docx pptx etc), which results in me having to use a giant nasty WYSIWYG editor that supports those formats like LibreOffice instead my preferred tooling (heirloom-doctools, mandoc, or even better, plain text). At least some classes support PDFs, but I've yet to see a class that takes plain text submissions.

You can say that, but X11 has a drawing tool that puts photoshit in its place

You don't know what I'd do to get massive chunky brick laptops back from the 90's again. Look at all those ports!

As long as you provide a list of dependencies, you're cool in my book

I would suggest reading this before switching to Firefox/Waterfox/Librewolf. DNS blocking and userscripts will get you a long way on browsers that lack extensions (qutebrowser, falkon, luakit).

I'm a proponent of RTFM, (real documentation has a lot more thought put into it then some random response you would get on IRC or a mailing list, and it's rude to ignore the effort the documentation author put into real documentation) but I always link the user to the appropriate documentation instead of just telling them off.

I self host mail/smtp(opensmtpd)+imap(dovecot), znc (irc bouncer), ssh, vpn (ipsec/ikev2), www/http (httpd), git (git-daemon), and gotweb, on an extremely cheap ($2 a month, 512M ram 10G storage) vps all very easily on openbsd. With all these servers I'm using an immense 178M/512M of my available memory.

We all have different definitions of "working system". I call a first time boot into alpine linux (after installing docs and ditching busybox) or openbsd a fully working system.
