Some people should not be allowed anywhere near a computer.
You are one of them.

That's just spew, I'm a fairly accomplished computer user, you aren't

times past, which is why you make such idiotic political statements.
You're an emotional thinker.

I would absolutely compete with you, I'm perhaps younger but I'm not

Meanwhile:  what was the last large software project either
of you compiled?

ObLinux:

For me, it was Pan, preceded by a few minutes by Linux 6.14.
