Apple speaks like overprotective parents that don't want their kids to leave home alone.

Like Windows, Ubuntu is installed by default on many computers. In my university, all the computers have a dual boot Ubuntu Windows.

I installed Tubular today. It's a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock. Is it the same thing or a different fork?

This is an important criteria for me. If I can't read the full article without leaving the reader and without a WebView, I won't keep the RSS feed.

I learned to program at the same time I learned English. I learned the words if, then, else and while in this context.

I don't like Ubuntu because of their forcing method to use Snap package manager.

I don't like Manjaro because of its poor dependency management. Many dependencies are not declared, so that if you update a package, it won't update the undeclared dependency and it won't work any longer. You have to update everything or nothing, and when disk space becomes low, updating everything at once is impossible.

The library is closed source.

Phind had an open source model, but the web interface isn't open source.

The argument that Debian doesn't have the latest packages is only valid for stable repository, right?

Wouldn't Debian with unstable or testing repo be better than Linux Mint?

The multilingual support always predict words in all languages, even if you started a sentence in a specific one. And it will follow the typo rules of the first language in the list. For example, if the first language is French, it will add a space before the interrogation mark (French rule), even if you're writing in English.

Is there a problem with GitLab if used on gitlab.com? Would it be worse than GitHub?

The model is open source, but not the whole site. It was made to help in programmation, so sometimes it makes funny answers when you ask something that has nothing to do with programmation and it tries to answer giving you a Python code.

Some like Phind or Perplexity cite their sources. And they give you directly the answer you're looking for without having to search it in a mess of "subscribe to our newsletter", "other articles that may interest you", 3 paragraphs of "if you read this article, you will know what you want to know", "special promotion for you",…

A better advice would be: Don't install updates when you have a class to attend and assignments to do. There is always a risk of breaking something on any OS.
