That’s not true; Partus sequitur ventrem was common in many societies with slavery since ancient times. The Wikipedia article gives pre-islamic Egypt as well as Korea starting in the 11th century as examples, but is very thin on this and extremely America-centric. But also in the Ottoman empire, children of slaves were slaves themselves.

I’ve installed OpenSUSE on a dozen pretty much computer-illiterate people’s computers. They had zero issues so far. The brand-new OpenSUSE Kalpa even updates everything automatically in the background, which saves two clicks a week.

I will keep pestering people who complain about Windows to install OpenSUSE instead.
