I’m sure it works great but it’s like curing a toothache by breaking another one out on the other side of your mouth. My problem with windows isn’t how difficult to use it is, it’s how restricted and how connected it must be. I don’t have full control of the system and I’m required to have external accounts for it to work. Same with chrome.

My data is mine, I don’t want it accessed, owned and controlled by a faceless internet corporation.

So, professionally I do not care what system I am expected to use, they are all functional. If the person signing my paycheck is comfortable with it, so be it (in fact, I’m a big proponent of externalizing risk in a corporate setting). Personally though, I’ll keep up my greybeard routine :).

The rich are the problem, something needs to be done about them. I’m hungry.

Edit- ugh, embarrassing misspelling left up too long.

No idea what to say about this, or what it even is. But I’m sorry to hear it. I had a very similar situation as a kid, multiple divorces, used as a pawn in their fight over money. It’s rough, but I learned from their mistakes and have a strong marriage that works.

Nah, been great, getting married was the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Exactly, the vision was flawless, it will all be blamed on the execution. The people who failed to build it will be held accountable though; departments of them…

Fucking awesome system we have here.

You think that’s bad, I got married in 2008.

Then again, I’ve done a lot in that time, 3 kids into it, including 2 teenagers…

Big fan. I don’t demand much from a window manager, just stay out of the way. I’ve never really had to give cinnamon any thought, shit just works. I spend most of my time in a terminal window though, so not really pushing the GUI.

This is cursed, unnecessary, unexpected and impressive all at the same time.

I already have my nodes up and running. It’s been picking up like mad lately, much more chatter than this time last year.

For maga, plastic surgery is virtue signaling. Since they have the money to spend on “looking their best” they do so in the most visible way since money is morality to these fucks.

My mom is in the early stages and is DEPERATE to prove that she’s still functional. She’s also going through chemo for cancer which has fried her brain even worse. I can’t be mad at her, but I keep trying to take her technology and simplify what she insists on keeping but she can’t even handle an appletv anymore.

It’s really hard. I feel you bud, keep up the good fight. Best of luck with your dad.

Fucking hell, just wait until they start developing dementia. I have to do all 9 things sometimes in the same sentence.

Couldn’t agree more with the sentiment, a fantastic outlook :). I am the complete opposite on the pasta front and try to find the longest pasta I can. So much more fun twirling one giant noodle at a time.

I daily drive LMDE with a 4070ti super, works perfect. I do use the proprietary drivers but I hardly ever have issues.

It’s great, well worth a try. Stable, functional and compatible, just how I like it.

Thats what LMDE is for, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Been my daily driver for years. Otherwise I use vanilla Debian for all my server and headless stuff.

100%. I try to use open source wherever possible. If it does have to be closed/proprietary, I will only use software I can own, no subscriptions; and the only if I can get them working in Linux (wine has come SO far).

That said, I do still have a windows partition but only for job related stuff.

So far I’m fairly impressed with it. I’ll stick to Debian and LMDE for my purposes, but the family computer got a new life just in time for the RAM and SSD garbage.

People need to become familiar with the paradox of tolerance.

What a glorious future AI is heralding.
