  • Another vote for FWD!

    AWD is expensive. It’s not just the upfront cost of the option. It’s also an ongoing cost. An AWD vehicle costs more to insure, maintain, and repair. It will also get less MPG than a FWD car.

    These will add up to thousands of more dollars over the lifetime of the car.

    Keeping fresh, high quality tires on the vehicle will go a long way towards bridging the gap between FWD and AWD. They’ll also cost a hell of a lot less money.









  • But like you said, things will have to be dumbed down and hidden extensively.

    At the same time whenever a piece of Linux software or distro takes ANY step whatsoever in this direction, the backlash from the community can get rather large.

    I switched to Ubuntu years ago after getting frustrated with Windows. It took some getting used to, but I love it and wouldn’t go back.

    I’m not a programmer. I don’t game on my computer. I pretty much just use a web browser. Occasionally I’ll install a new program.

    I’m just tech savvy enough to figure out how to do stuff by googling. Most of the how to guides are over my head, but there’s usually a very remedial one that I can understand.

    Ubuntu has served my needs perfectly. It’s stable, simple, and runs like a dream on my older laptop.

    Lemmy is my first exposure to the Linux community. I was surprised at the hate Ubuntu gets.
