      Canada is pretty great, even more so when compared to the US.

      Linux is pretty great, even more so when compared to Windows.

      Comparison holds up.

        As a Canadian…I don’t want to be compared to the US anymore. It’s been our excuse to get worse and worse for decades and I’m tired of it.

        Also, I’m liking CachyOS. Yes it’s better than Windows(anything is), but I’m also making an effort to not say things shouldn’t be done just because I’m happier than I was.

          I can absolutely see that being compared to the US it easier for people to justify bad stuff just because US whataboutism makes it easier to justify.

          For what it’s worth you guys always felt closer to us here in Europe than the US in a lot of ways.

            This is not really the place for a big write-up, but we are horrifyingly very US-coded and most people resist any of the easy options for getting better.
