This is a deliberate choice made by Nvidia with respect to their proprietary drivers, and has nothing to do with the operating system.

First past the post inherently reinforcers a two party system as voting for a third party benefits the parties that you least want. That’s the spoiler effect.
Approval voting doesn’t have that problem, so alternatives can actually show up and be viable.
RCV (actually IRV) has less of a spoiler effect than FPTP but it still has a substantial “centre squeeze” effect as moderate candidates — with broad support but few first preference votes — get eliminated early.
There are much better voting systems that actually attempt to identify the Condorcet winner. The only advantage AV or IRV have over Condorcet methods is simplicity


How close do you want it to be?
I’m a big fan of the OpenBook


Because anti-trust has not been enforced this century, with the exception of Lina Khan’s work as the FCC director.
Companies have been pushing the boundaries further and further for decades, with almost no push back.


I’m not much of a musician, but I’ve used MilkyTracker for some chiptune work

What level are your students (primary school, high school, technical college, university)?
You said it’s not a core skill, so what is their core skill? IT? Machinist? Electronics engineer?
C is an excellent “fundamentals” language that anyone with a software engineering and maybe computer science should have exposure too, but if their programming is purely practical (e.g. scripting for IT?) C is essentially irrelevant.
Javascript is very narrow in scope but if they’re web designers then it’s essential.
I’ll back the other commenters that if they need a language they can do useful things in (e.g. simple automations, calculations), Python is hard to pass over.


For me streaks are a double edged sword; if I break a streak then the stat becomes a disincentive
PCjs uses JavaScript to emulate a small collection of hardware and software that I grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s, allowing you to experience their slow CPUs, low-resolution displays, and primitive sound effects, all in the comfort and safety of your desktop or mobile web browser.
Over time, PCjs emulations have expanded to include selected IBM PC Compatibles and more classic machines, such as Minicomputers, Programmable Calculators, Terminals, and Arcade Games. To learn more or contribute to these very modest preservation efforts, visit the PCjs open-source project on GitHub.
The Software Engineering Stackexchange has a broader remit than Stackovrrflow, but still has the requirement that questions are not purely opinion based


Mobile phone radiation is non-ionising. There is no known mechanism for it giving you cancer. Regardless of mechanism there’s ample research on the topic, and no sign of a link
It’s fine for input, but Logseq “.md” files are only suitable for import back into Logseq (at least if they have any links)
