Is it just me, or is it that no matter how hard all Linux desktops try, it's still like the 90s compared to Win10.
Just you. Windows 10 and most modern *nix distributions look very similar. They all share very similar UI elements that could easily move between operating systems.
But we need desktop OSes for using apps, not for using UI elements.
Unfortunately, Linux still can't match Windows in number of desktop apps. It is still far more difficult to develop and support desktop app for Linux, then for WindowsIs that actually true? and if so, what makes it so?

Point proven in the quote above.
Nice!

A little over a year ago, the FBI and law enforcement partners overseas seized WeLeakInfo[.]com, a wildly popular service that sold access to more than 12 billion usernames and passwords stolen from thousands of hacked websites. In an ironic turn of events, a lapsed domain registration tied to WeLeakInfo let someone plunder and publish account data on 24,000 customers who paid to access the service with a credit card.

Donald Trump plans social media comeback, says adviser
Former US President Donald Trump will soon return to social media "with his own platform", his adviser has said.
"I do think that we're going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months," Jason Miller told Fox News. He said the platform "will be the hottest ticket in social media" and would "completely redefine the game". Mr Trump was suspended from Twitter and Facebook after January's deadly riots at the US Capitol in Washington DC. The attack on 6 January by Trump supporters saw five people including a police officer killed, and shook the foundations of American democracy. Several days later, Twitter said Mr Trump's account - @realDonaldTrump - was "permanently suspended... due to the risk of further incitement of violence". -

The FCC announced yesterday that it is seeking "first-hand accounts on broadband availability and service quality directly from consumers" as part of a new data collection effort. People who live in areas where ISPs either haven't deployed service or have failed to upgrade old networks may be especially interested in participating..

They are doing this so that they can pretend that they don't know how bad it is.

No kidding. I remember Mac magazines talking about the upcoming OSX release in late 1999. It wasn't out yet, but everyone was talking about what a game changer it would be. It still feels like the "new kid on the block" even after all of this time. It's still SO much younger than Linux and Windows NT.
