(Quote) There may be other factors at play. (I'm speaking in general, not of @Jord in particular.) One factor may simply be a kind of inertia: one you become a moderator, you stay a moderator, unless you have a strong reason for resigning. What co…

(Quote) It's not so complicated. :) There's educational value in trying to convey some of the complexities of history. :) You're right that a fork of a fork is still a fork, but a fork of a fork of X isn't necessarily a fork of X. :) To use your …

(Quote) It all looks very questionable to me, but at least they offer StarOffice 6 and 7 for free (even though they very probably don't have the right to do so). I would have thought that Oracle acquired StarOffice with the purchase of Sun. Anyway…

(Quote) My question ("No chance ...?") was partly rhetorical, though I imagined that GIMP would require the Linux subsystem to be activated. :) I also suspect that when @Not_Oles said "simple", he wasn't thinking of GIMP. (But &…

(Quote) No chance of installing GIMP on a Chromebook? :)

(Quote) I think that other things being equal, I simply prefer a community distribution -- or let's say one with fewer commercial interests in the background. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see how quickly they were able to get Rocky out the…
