I think thats exactly it. A lot of the people begrudgingly have a PC. I bet most of those just use whatever the PC came with. Linux and Mac users are more likely to enjoy using a PC.

Apparently Linux have 20% market share in Norway. That is... I don't really believe it, but really cool if true.
I go to one of the 5 stores close to my home several times a week, sometimes multiple times the same day. We have gone insanely overboard with store density, but it's completely feasible to have small stores everywhere if the incentive are there.
This would be perfect for Norway. Oslo-Trondheim and Oslo-Bergen is consistently among the most trafficked air routes in Europe and the train ride is 7-8 hours. I love trains and use them whenever I can and even though I believe we should get better train infrastructure between the largest cities I also concede the fact that beyond those it's just not practical with trains all the way up north or out to the small coast communities.
Electric planes with a few hundred kilometers reach would suite our domestic travel juuust fine. I might even have started my European interrail trip with a short flight to Oslo or Copenhagen if electric planes where doable and reasonable (in terms of both cost and emissions).
In Norway we made the plastic bags really expensive (about half an Euro atm) and it's working wonders. I still have a stash of them, but they're for special emergencies. The stores sell actual trash bags that's much smaller and thinner, and thus more convenient (for me at least) so that problem is taken care of as well.
I keep 4 reusable fabric bags around as well, two for shopping, 1 for glass and 1 for recyclable bottles.
I find that I much prefer this system. And I still have the option to pay 5kr for a plastic bag at store if I have to.
5kr for a bag is juuust enough for me to get my reusable bag at home if I want to make spontaneous trip to the store on my way home.
Just like the Bible, no one actually reads it
Just cheked in on MTG goldfish, the price of land is too damn high!
All you need to start playing Standard, Pioneer and maybe Modern in Magic the Gathering. Or like maybe half a Legacy deck.
In my other hobbies which are rebuilding with old lego by hand and imagination, baking and reading a grand will keep me good for a year. Or 5. Depends on motivation and how many free books I pick up.
In Norway "shit" is considered the child friendly way of swearing since it's not religious. I still have no idea why it's considered swearing in English/USA
I'm getting into this habit as I'm getting older. I dont want that much and I rarely find stuff I really like, so when I do I just get multiple and I feel lucky I don't have to go shopping for that item for years.
Jeg har kjøpt en del fra Qobuz, fungerer rett bra, men man kan ikke kjøpe i appen, må kjøpe på nett (sikker fordi de ikke gidder gi 30% til Apple/Google). Appen til Android har noen bugs, men fungerer fint. Får DRM-free filer man kan gjøre som man vil med også.
A mix is what's needed. Trains between major metropols, busses for smaller places. Less frequent busses for yet smaller places and no busses for the most remote locations.
I have used public transit to several remote locations in Scandinavia, it's surprisingly doable, but it takes planning and often waiting because there's only one bus a day, the school bus (but anyone with a ticket can get a ride).
Still, having the option to travel with public transport and have the opportunity to read my book, doze off or just relax is amazing.
