Question about the New posts thing

It's not a great gaming platform, I guess, even though I understand Steam works pretty well.

What kind of platform is it? Not many people use Linux for web browsing, or for business applications, or for, well, much. I fell like most Linux users are using it as a **** you to Microsoft much more than for any advantage Linux gives them in any real world application.

Well, you can use a linux system pretty much the same way as Windows if you like, or you can be more command-line oriented (like me). In any case, the browser is the same, steam would be the same, libreoffice would be the same (no MS Office, though, IIRC). For me it's just better than Windows at everything (since I'm not a gamer) and I know it. As for platform, I run on a regular Intel NUC at my home office, more beefy PC at work (miss my office...) and on a standard Lenovo laptop.

Do you mean people use other operating systems!?

You mean other than Kali Linux?

I really can't reproduce this but did remove some level of the auto-refresh on the thread page so curious if it results in any change for this issue. @hgb lemme know.

It seems better recently. I really do think the auto-refresh stuff has been a good change, thanks @Jason.

Have to confess I'm normally on Fedora. But Kali is a spectacular tool.
