    I'm 100% sure Microsoft, Canonical and Gnome team are colluding to make the default experience for the new linux user as shit as possible. There are no other explanation for than to be so consistently bad at their job.
    14 years ago when a first tried ubuntu, I hated and it put me off linux for months. Wasn't until I tried to use proper distros and proper DE that I started to fall in love with linux.
    I bet that this was the same experience for many people, but many never gave it a second chance.

            You hire people based on the color of the skin or on what they have between their legs, this means that having two people applying for a job you'll hire the Black person or the foid before the white or asian man even if they're overly under qualified for the job.
            This basically means that in some years worth of time you'll run the company to the ground because you'll basically have fired or dismissed all talent, and hired basically political activists that do nothing but complain on twatter all day.

            >You hire people based on the color of the skin or on what they have between their legs,
            But that's the opposite of what it does? You're advocating for hiring the white or asian man before the other person. You're ok with political twitter activists as long as they're white and asian males.

            That a complete falsehood, I'm advocating on hiring the best person for the role, most of the time if not always, the diversity hire it's not the best person for the position.
            You're basically saying that I don't want Black folk or foids hired, the problem is that most Black folk and foids have low IQs so they're not qualified to most positions they're hired and they've only gotten the job because of what's between their legsd or the color of their skin.

            And do you want to know the truth, Goolag, Applel and Microsoft have 80%+ of white and asian men working for them, they're literally selling you the diversity and inclusion trash while not having any non white or asian person doing programming tasks.

            >Not doing diversity and inclusion brings you undesirable racists.
            No. Not doing diversity and inclusion brings you people hired based on their competence. Doing diversity and inclusion brings you people hired based on their race, sexual orientation etc.

Also, newsflash, sometimes racist can be the most qualified person for the job. And yes, I would hire him over less competent minority.

            I'd hire David Duke himself if showed up to work consistently, on time, and performed his duties as required by his work contract. I'd even have a special tree on the corporate campus so he can lynch Black folk during his smoke breaks if it improves his performance.
