Some?  I'd say MOST people neither need nor want a desktop PC.

A desktop PC is also known as a WORKSTATION, i.e. a place for
serious and extensive COMPUTING work, be it document production,
image processing, application programming, scientific simulations,
etc., etc.

The average Joe/Jane just wants instant, no-brainer email and
Facebook.  A thumb-drive computer could accommodate those tasks
and that thumb-drive will contain MS Windows.

Microsoft Windows is for brain-dead losers, and they can have it.

Because the average Joe/Jane could not distinguish a logic gate
from a sewer hole in the ground, Microsoft invented the Windows OS
to appeal to such stupidity.  MS Windows completely hides the digital
machine and overlays it with various helper devices to serve
as crutches for the mentally lame user.  The average Joe/Jane
cannot even edit a simple text file (he/she doesn't even know what
a text file is) and so Microsoft gives him/her configuration
windows with no-brainer check boxes and other such retarded stuff.

Yes, Microsoft is for total idiots, and they can have it.

But there are repercussions for us all.

What I hate the most is the names these Microsoft users give to
the various files they may post.  Invariably these file names
contain spaces and punctuation characters.  Example: My Picture
of When I Visited My Mom's House & Got Drunk.jpeg.

Hey idiot!  Hey dumb-fuck!  Don't you understand that digital
file names are not supposed to contain spaces and punctuation
characters?  Even though they technically CAN contain them, they
really SHOULD NOT contain them.

Fortunately, for Linux, there are programs which can process these
asinine file names and remove the idiotic junk:

Sanity: http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/sanity

I have to use such programs ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME to restore
a decent form to the file names created by Microsoft idiots.

Yes, Microsoft Windows is for brain-dead assholes, and they can
have it.

   From Wikipedia -- A workstation is a special computer designed for
   technical or scientific applications. Intended primarily to be used
   by one person at a time, they are commonly connected to a local area
   network and run multi-user operating systems.

   Multi-user systems, such as Unix and Linux.

Very good, Sammy.

Now, please inform us about the mouse.

Then inform us about the keyboard.

It's important for a physicist to know these things, and where
would we all be without your learned expositions?

   Physicists you all the things you mentioned. They need to be able to
   write, compile and run code to do there work. I had to write my own
   code to analyze/process experimental (or observational) data. Maybe
   you did too.

Sammy is exceeding his brain's limitation, by now fake pretending to

He he... for what's it worth, I heard Higgs brag about only using
paper and pencil for his physics.

There a work, here a work, everywhere run code to work Work WORK?!

Sammy, ever heard of spelling+grammar SW assistance? You had to write,
Really?! Spare me your samples. Like I spared your "Physicists you..."

So when did your handlers mandate that you must use only corporate
sanctioned tools, with all the pretty forced stationary logo desktop
backgrounds perpetually brainwashing you via your eyes?

Quelle Surprise! I've never met another who didn't claim to be smarter
than I. Sam, your Mother must be so proud? So, gauge how proud she is.

Who all others are you smarter than Sam Worm (SW), you CCC?

Technical or scientific work, Fabio. That's why you've never had one.
Sam has one, but he doesn't know how to run it. That's why he never 
corrected the orange color balance on his "pretty good photos".

Big mouth with only nonsense coming out of it. No data. No references. 
No intelligence. No nuttin'.

Do you think people don't have better things to do than listen your 
undying belief in your "faith" with nothing to back it up? You must be 
taking lessons from Heating and ventilation. He thinks his opinion needs 
no proof too.

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. That's why science relies 
on evidence instead.

Just go play with your computer and headphones and keep telling yourself 
how much you know.

Say wait a minute. You are stooopid enough you might actually BE HVAC! 
Say, you and HVAC sending barbs at "each other", now that would have 
been a nice bit o' "tradecraft"!

Many users also want to edit photos and sometimes even videos, to play
games, to use things like typing tutors or quilt-design programs, to edit
word processing documents - including those with images, to make occasional
fairly simple spreadsheets and maybe even presentations, to play music, etc.

What text file do you mean? Old .ini files? If so, sure, a general user
should never have to see those.

It does not make things as easy and powerful as OS X, at least in many
areas, but it does make things much better for most users than what they had
with, say, DOS!

Not only do I use such characters, I also use unicode characters in my file
names. OS X handles it fine. Now I do have to be careful if I am uploading
those to a website or even sharing them with Windows users, but for my own
use I use those as I wish.

OS X comes with software to make file names Windows and web friendly.

Would love to see what type tasks you think your system handles well. Here
are some that were discussed in COLA a while back... the Linux users did not
fare very well.

* From a single online recipe (or art project, lesson plan, whatever) save
it and email a PDF version where you add notes to it. Now I know this can be
done on Linux; save, open, edit, email. Just curious to see how you people
would generally do it and how streamlined the workflow would be. A couple
ways I might: <https://youtu.be/NPM_WldEBs0>.

* Make a video, as Owl and I have been, but with cursor replacement /
resizing (post production), window highlighting, zooming, arbitrary area
highlighting. For me these were done just to show something else:
<https://youtu.be/aSNpnYpmKag>. I have many other options but picked these
because they fit the real-world example I did shortly before coming up with
the "challenge".

* Getting a WayBackArchive page and getting images of all links, the HTML
validation and CSS validation from W3.org, and a active link to the archive
page, as I did here (does not have to look the exact same, of course):
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-archive.pdf>.

There, I fixed that for you.

Yeah,  Now we are faced with that uniquely Microsoft monstrosity known as
the REGISTRY.

How about that registry, eh?  The registry is an inaccessible heap of garbage
that also forms a gigantic weak spot for complete OS failure.  Microsoft
deserves a medal for that idea.

Text files or XML are the only way to go for configuration.

The user has an obligation to learn about computers and digital principles.

Then maybe we could have an OS that wasn't geared for brain-dead morons.

Unicode is OK and recommended.  But if you actually use spaces/punctuation
in file names then you have a very poor or non-existent background in computer
programming/scripting.  To any worldly and seasoned programmer, spaces/punctuation
in file names is anathema.  In the digital world, such behavior is extremely
bad form.

Off the top of my head I do not have an answer for these particular problems.

But I do not doubt that if were actually faced with finding a solution, I could
think a while, do some testing, and come up with extremely efficient methods.

I have done so in the past for many complex problems.
