      Basically - gaming... I personally use Mac everything work related (I've used Linux but it's a pain, especially with high-end ultrabooks and battery life/drivers, so I went the MacBook route), but you just can compete with gaming on Windows. I'm not saying Windows is a good OS, but it's the largest market for gaming and all games are optimized for it, plus GPU manufacturers don't really care about other markets (except AMD writing superb drivers for math crunching stuff for macOS apps like Final Cut Pro).

    I think the issue about computers and school is not which operating system to use, but which document formats. If the school is insisting on using closed Microsoft formats (that aren't even compatible from one version of MS Office to the next) then you've got problems. But most schools I've spoken to don't care: hand in your assignment in something they can read, formatting isn't important. One teacher mentioned plain text! Another PDF. They all said not Word: we might not be able to read it.

    • @Elite7555
      @Elite7555 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Language is nothing more than a tool for communication, and a tool is rated by how useful it is. Outside of Sweden and Finland, Swedish and Finish aren't useful in the slightest. The usefulness of a language is defined by how big the speaking community is, how scattered it is and how big the barrier of entrance for outsiders is. The Finish speaking community isn't thinly scattered, but it is small; so small in fact that everybody has to communicate with the outside world. The barrier of entrance is huge, meaning nobody will learn Finish if he hadn't got a really really well paying job there. In effect Finish will eventually die. Swedish's community is only double that of Finish's and the same downsides apply, so its chances of surviving history are also meager.
      English on the other hand is very useful! It has a huge speaking community and a relatively low barrier of entrance. So think of it as a plague if you will, but it is a very beneficial plague. And it would be really really good for the European Union to have a unified standard language.
      "But what about Japanese or Chinese? They clearly are not going to learn English!" True, because they don't have to. Japan has 13 times the population of Sweden and China accomodates for 1/7 of the world's population. Most of them have never spoken to a person outside of their country. And obviously the barrier of entrance for them is much higher that for any European. But that is also why those countries are relatively secluded. But they also aren't in any political and economic union like the European Union! And being a union obviously means being able to speak to one another.

      Why would you need Cygwin under Linux? The idea of Cygwin is to bring a collection of GNU tools to Windows. Pretty much all of these tools are installed per default on Linux (depending on your distro) or can be added via package manger/manually.
