Veraltertes Gerät und extrem energiehungrig, was sich wiederum übermässig auf die Stromrechnung auswirkt.

Für kleinere Heimserver sehe ich da eher einen N150 mit 6Watt oder N100/97 mit 15 Watt.

Zudem ist die Kiste hoffnungslos überteuert. Habe vor 2 Wochen einen NEUEN MiniPC von Firebat mit dem wesentlich leistungsstärkeren Ryzen 6600H, 16 GB DDR5 RAM und einer 512GB NVME SSD für weniger als 159 Euros erworben.

Bit of a stretch, Linus didn't say "Elon Musk is too stupid to work in a tech company."  Then again, being accurate wasn't your goal in the first place, right?  Way to go, "tech journalist."  Sounds like your entire background in tech before landing this prestigious position was fuckin' video games.  What do you know about anything?

Nah. What's stupid is; an OS that has lurked around for ~34-years; has not yet broken through for the simple users like our grandparents/elders who values simplicity, familiarity, & out-of-the-box functionality.

The perception that Linux is "for geeks" still persists; deterring users like our elders who are unfamiliar with the CLI or system-level configuration.

This perception is reinforced by the fact that most popular software; that our elders are familiar with; such as Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, & many tripe-A games; is not natively available on Linux, requiring workarounds like Wine or virtual machines, which can be complex for average users like our elders; all alien language to them.

Also, hardware compatibility remains a challenge, as drivers for certain printers, graphics cards, & laptop components often require manual installation or are not available at all; another dark area for the unfamiliar; completely undermining the "plug-&-play" experience that these vulnerable users expect from Windows or macOS.

Aww-man... let's not forget; the sheer number of Linux distributions; such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Linux Mint, ect; creates great confusion for newcomers/elder users who struggle to choose the right one, contributing to a fragmented user experience. This terrible fragmentation also discourages software & hardware developers from investing in Linux, as they must support multiple versions & desktop environments.

Now, while modern Linux distributions are now user-friendly & do not require CLI expertise for basic tasks, the learning curve increases with more complex use cases.

Perhaps, LT needs to take hold of this advice & fast... how the saying goes... oh yeah:

Sweep around your own front door before sweeping mine! 😏
