Right. So in other words, we should just implement Finland’s social housing model everywhere.

Hot take: blatant racism and veiled racism are equally bad reasons for a country to have poor housing policy.

I was going to let him say something obtusely racist and then roast him, but this works too.

EDIT: He did it anyway.

How does having a monocultural population make housing easier?

I love my Mint laptop and I find it plausible that someone who just does “the basics” could get by with a usability-focused distro.

In my experience, the problem is that not a lot of people really are just sticking to basics on their PC anymore. The truly “just browsing and email” users just use their phone. Someone with a PC is doing something—gaming, photo editing/digital art, audio production, long form writing—where they have a proprietary app they like. Either that, or they’re using it for work and have a company controlled, fully Office 365’d PC.

Linux got usable enough for basic users, but basic users left PCs behind.
