You do have the Renault 4 and 5 that are reasonably priced. And I think Fiat also has a reasonably priced model.

I think he already moved to Belgium to avoid some of the French taxes.

So apperently I am wrong. What would make a future France less of a police state and more democratic than now?

I agree with you that he should resign because he made a mess and does not follow the will of a majority of the French.

But as far as calling France a failed democracy that I do not agree with. A flawed democracy sure, but than again even a good democracy does not protect the people from making choices on flawed information or ignorance.

France is not a police state, I fully agree that the police is way too violent but that is not equal to a police state. France has many problemes but it is still a democracy and they can still vote for change.

It is not a fake democracy they just voted in an asshole.

Congrats on fixing your audio.

3D rendering is the one thing Nvidia does better on Linux, I still do not understand why AMD makes it so difficult to access productivity features of their cards.

So the general missing driver thing. We do not have enough users, so companies don’t make drivers and we have to hope the community makes open source ones.

This might be a dumb question, but why are so many people saying they have sound issues? Did I just get lucky with the pc’s I have run Linux on and never have sound problems?

As much as I want to joke that it is the year of the Linux desktop, I think it is mostly because the younger you are the less likely you are to have a pc (so Windows, Mac, Linux and BSD for the dozens of you).

As far as I can see most of the time people use their phone for everything and only touch a pc for work or if they have a hobby that requires the use of a pc (gaming, digital art, music, programming, etc…).

Gateway 2000 with Windows 95. I do not know which specific configuration (I was too young). I do remember the games I had though: Tyrian 2000, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, C&C, HoM3, I-war, Flight Simulator 95, LBA 2 and Jersey Devil. Half of them were copies I got from a neighbour that owned a cd-r.

It is a move to decouple from the USA for critical infrastructure. They don’t want to be in a similar situation as Ukraine in any potential conflict. Where the USA just says we will no longer allow you to use our computer chips for war with Russia.
