Now getting back to tech. The same thing that happened with Windows 7 is now happening with Linux desktops. They are being updated so much that they eat your entire hard drive with updates so that you either abandon them or just quit and start all over. A desktop is just an interface just like Windows, Mac, and Android have similar but different desktop interfaces. In Linux you can literally have 10 different ones for every Linux install. I installed 3 on a 20 gig VM leaving me with 17 gigs left. In one month's worth of package updates my VM disk space went down to 8 gigs due to all the updates. Even open source software has been infiltrated and compromised and is being used against us.
Years ago a desktop update was maybe at most 10-15 megs at best, now it is 1 to 2 gigabytes. America lost on every front.
