What could possibly go wrong?

Didn’t spot that one coming

We don’t make the rules…

🤣😂😪😥😢😭

Aspiring supervillan, please.

Am old, gold, quote, Mr. Bond…MWAHAHA

Dripping

It’s the Onion. So most likely predictive…

I game on Linux. Go check protondb for compatibility with your favourite game

This is the way

Of course they do!

I recall that there is a USB GPIO dongle which gives you a bunch of pins to play with. You would have to hunt around to find it though.

Oh yes!

If you have a big enough hard drive then you can install Linux alongside Windows. You will get that option when installing. When you boot, you will be able to choose…

Caveat, win11 requires secure boot which I haven’t dealt with, so you may have to research if that’s the case. There will be lots of info online though - it will depend upon your distro though

Ha. No worries. List of distributions…

• Pop!_os Arch derivative. Popular. Quite easy
• Debian One of the first distributions. Medium to hard difficulty
• Ubuntu Very easy, but they are a bit corporate. Usually considered a good beginners distro
• Slackware (beginners guide). One of the first distortion. Can be considered hard mode :)
• Manjaro Arch derivative. Easy to medium
• Arch Arch (not a) derivative. Hard mode
• Redhat Enterprise mode

I would try them out as either live usb tests or in virtual box first to see what tickles your fancy. In the mid to late 90’s I was using slack and Debian. Debian is generally used as a base in docker images for its stability, so getting to know that to get into herding containers can be a good thing.

Many others out there, that’s just a small list off the top of my head.

• List of distros

• 'nother list

• distrowatch used to be my go to when hunting fun distros.

• Have fun!

• Break shit!

• Learn how to fix it (almost every catastrophe is recoverable)

Anything at all. I run on raspberry pis, old lenovo laptops, new gaming laptops, amd pc with 64 gig ram and nvidia 4070ti. Make a bootable usb and test it to see if you like it without installing to the drive (live mode), then if you want to make the plunge, install.

Install mint (cinnamon). Very easy to use for starting. Will make computers fun again. As for games. Most work fine but ymmv

Yup. Personally only use it for work. Linux all the way on all my machines

The point being that he paid for the software and he shouldn’t have to get around if

Be the change you want to see, etc…

Feels like my old job.
