I did because the laptop I had bought had a brand new processor and not all the drivers were in the kernel version that was in the distro's newest ISO. I had to plug in a keyboard, screen, and network adapter to install the right kernel.

Sounds like they'd like gnome

Thanks for the tip! According to this website, it looks like it's sedum microcarpum, though it looks nothing like the picture on the species' Wikipedia page. That looks more like this plant: Could they be the same species?

Edit: from an image search it looks like the answer is yes! I wonder why it can look so different.

Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH

I want to point out that the changes you are talking about, minimize/maximize buttons and docks, are actually big changes to the workflow of a desktop environment. How hard would it be to remove those buttons and the standard dock on windows? Harder than it is with gnome I think. Gnome isn't windows and it's used differently from windows. It shouldn't be expected to accommodate windows's workflow.

Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep

First of all his leadership of Fateh and the PLO worked to concentrate power in the hands of his particular opportunist clique. He undermined the Palestinian liberation movement throughout it's history. He undermined, dominated, and excluded the radical sections of Fateh which rejected collaboration with Zionism, who threatened his rule. His agreement to exit Lebanon directly led to the massacre of thousands. His signing onto the oslo accords and his creation of the Palestinian authority with its security and police force built for direct collaboration with the Zionist state and repression of Palestinian resistance signed the west bank away to Israel. Yaser Arafat is the direct cause of decades upon decades of failure of the Palestinian liberation movement, and his legacy continues to haunt us to this very day with the traitorous Fateh party and Palestinian authority.

Yasser Arafat was an Israeli and American puppet who got the west bank into the situation that it's in in the first place. His insidious leadership sowed the seeds of the Palestinian liberation movement's destruction in the west bank and Lebanon, and Fateh's betrayal. Of course he committed the betrayal with his own hands in the end as well.

with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.

America literally manufactures cars in China but wants to ban chinese cars. America ruthlessly attacks anything that threatens its world domination one bit. Death to America.
