THIS IS AWESOME, THANK YOU!

(Apologies for my capslock, but I really am stoked.)

Browser is nice. On Linux though, Okular is superb (except for its occasional problems with forms).

Well, on the other hand, it’s by far not always the case that the program one person is currently using is already the best choice for their use case. For example, in the process of degoogling, I’ve begun using a lot of programs that are actually better for me than the ones I previously used.

Of course there’s friction/effort involved in finding the best replacement, but there’s just no way around that if the goal is to get away from the defacto standards.

This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

Also, just to indicate the orders of magnitude: The German electiricty grid roughly operates at a power of 200 000 MW on average.

Source (the colorful graph in the middle of the page). (Be mindful that the absolute numbers in the graph are given in “MWh per 15 minutes” (power*time/time), so to get the Watt number (power) at any given time, one has to multiply the number by 4.)
