Thanks, and good idea on letting them check out the different DE's. Does Debian have multiple DE's ready to go, or do you need to install each one individually?
I was thinking Fedora as I use it personally on all my computers and really like it, but I thought Gnome would be too much of a drastic change for them since they are coming from Windows. Might just put it on a USB just in case, and let them test out a couple DE's before committing to anything.
Very much reeks of vote buying. "Hey Australia, look at all this free money we are passing on to you."
I mean, thanks I guess, but I am already getting a massive benefit from the stage 3 tax cuts. Why not take that $3.5 BILLION and invest it in something that will keep energy prices down for ever, rather than band-aid over it for 12 months. By all means, give the rebate to low income earners and those in real need of it, but people who are not struggling in the slightest should not be getting the rebate.
I guess the government have to play to the lowest common denominator in the voting base. Not all Australians understand that this money isn't actually free and it will cost us in the long run (every subsequent budget for the next decade is predicted to be in deficit rather than surplus).
It would be nice if "smart" home devices fell under this category. If the devices software is the reason that the device fails to continue to work, then they should be held responsible, and made to remedy a fix...or full refund.
That Redback section got me good. Was browsing this article on my phone. Didn't mind the spiders crawling on the screen, until the one in the bottom right looked like it crawled out from under my hand. Nearly threw my phone away 😮💨
First Book Depository, and now Booktopia. This is freaking tragic 😥
