@eadwine rose.. like you I hope to complete my first book in 2019. Unlike yours, mine is 'somewhat less than serious'. It is about a cow... a magical cow. It is never too late to have a good childhood. :hmm:

Definitely not! Go for it :)

I am in the proofreading stage right now. I have printed the thing (over 100 pages of A4) and am removing the dumbass stuff. Really... you don't see that when reading off a screen :laugh:

:popcorn: There are a zillion and twelve Ubuntu-based distros that would all have to switch to a Debian base. That would be a good thing! But I have to admit, I like Ubu's installer a lot better, maybe it will finally find it's way UPstream and make Debian-based distros a whole bunch easier to install!

I wonder if your last prediction hasn't already come true! Except for rural areas, perhaps, where some of us have to rely on satellite Internet and some are even still using dial-up (just for e-mail since it takes hours to load a single web page at 14.4 anymore).

My predictions?
  • School will get easier but not better.
  • More families will home school their kids - harder, but better.
  • Technology will get scarier and more threatening, more people will go off the grid in vain attempts to escape it.
  • Eadwine Rose's new book will become a classic and be made into a movie! :clap:

Can't disagree with these predictions...Satya Nadella is no fool.

Now that Dell is going public, and ubuntu is going public later in 2019, I think any absorption of Ubuntu will 'more likely' be by Dell. That will put them in a better competitive position with IBM/RedHat/CentOS/Fedora. Although Jeff Bezos may decide his cloud business -AWS (a big user of ubuntu) needs to have ubuntu in Amazon's suite of companies (and perhaps they'll merge Ubuntu with Whole Foods). :lipsrsealed:

As for Microsoft, I think they'll swallow Oracle (the other "Open Source Company") :eek:

I hope 5g changes things for rural folks. We have 2 Internet options living in town, but outside of town people are stuck with dial-up :(
Vanilla Debian installer is kind of horrible. I had it fail on me doing an install recently at the end of the process. It needs completely overhauled or just replaced with a simpler version.
I have heard Direct TV will be moving away from satellite and going completely over the top with Internet and a streaming box in the near future for their service. They already have Direct TV Now for over the top streaming.
Agree that technology will get scarier.
And I want to see the movie based upon Eadwine Rose's book :)
