mfw Windows still doesn't come with a package manager

I'm not a Windows-head (never owned a Windows PC), but MSI's seem to quack and waggle like a package. If you mean "they don't have a central repository", yeah, unless if you count their appstore or whatever they call it.

I like Ridley as a cinematographer, his movies always tend to -look- gorgeous, but he's a shit story teller. So overall I think the wrong Scott brother died.

This is valid late 90's critique on Windows. In the modern day, it's valid critique on the entire state of computer software. There used to be a time where I could run "ps axuw" on a then modern Unix system and understand exactly what the fuck was going on and what each process was for. These days the nerd-favoured systems are also a big mess of complexity.

I think a lot of older nerds also under-appreciate the position tech has taken in the world in the meantime. Look at it like electricity. When that first popped up, people involved with it knew all the ins-and-outs, they -had- to know all the ins-and-outs. But by the time I grew up, electricity was a done deal. You flip the button, lights go on. Same has happened for the rest of the world with IT. You click the icon, facebook pops up.

LinkedIn pivoting as a VPN provider confirmed. Bet they figured they could never compete with X, the everything app.

Is this actually Linux gaining any significant new mindshare, or is it just that the use of desktops is in relative decline, and the holdouts are going to be the more linux-inclined?
