I would definitely try it without the KVM at all and see if it still happens.

In fact, recreating the computing experience of the Commodore 64 (and BBC Micro as they are a British foundation) was one of the specific purposes of the Raspberry Pi.

Because there aren’t any developers in charge any more. At places like MS and Google now promotions are given to people who make a big splash. Fixing a bug doesn’t get attention.

I think you are giving people too much credit. Lots of people have a budget they can spend on appliances (like a credit line) and they get the best (most expensive) one they can get on that budget. Others will do the opposite and get the cheapest but only people like you find on Lemmy (Linux users for instance) in my experience will make a choice in the middle based on feature set.

Fun fact: 7 was the last version MS produced under the injunction from the late 90s that prevented them from bundling required services with the OS. They actually had MS accounts (then called .NET Passports) ready to track activation and for login on XP but had to make them optional.

The number of times I have received an un-proofread two sentence email is too damn high.
