I switched to Linux mint. No ragrets. It takes a bit of fiddling and a teensie bit of a learning curve. But it’s way easier than Microsofts endless deluge of shit.

It’s a theft thing. Middle managers are concerned about employees purposely making accidents so that they may then eat. It’s all about that money honey

It’s like seeing the Dracula myth reborn. They periodically come to wreak great violence, but always draining. Always unseen. Always feeding.

Lol, I was just thinking this would be a problem for about 5 min before some asshole shot at it. I always thought it was hilarious when people talked about delivery drones.

Right? Done properly and without profit motivating every decision it could be a good thing. I mean I’m sure someone will find a way to make it creepy and weird, but you never know.

You’re throwing logic into a shit storm

This is what stops me from leaping to phone Foss.

Lol wtf is that bird?

I just watched this movie last night! Seriously one of the coolest pieces of Cinema ever made!

Yes! I’m into it. Just imagine the dope ass garden towns we could all be living in.

I run mint on my “home entertainment center”. Just an old laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard.

Granted I don’t use it for much, but once I had mint on it, I’ve only used the desktop environment. Mostly because I’m leaning back in a slothful, shameful lump, and this is not conducive to typing. So I spend way too long pecking at things with the mouse.

Pain in the ass? Yes.

Way more tedious and time consuming? Yes

Possible? Also yes

I want the term “parking desert” to take hold in place of parking lot. I hate most aspects of automobiles. The amount land we pave over for storage is just tragic and rude.

We should build solar farms over our parking deserts to reduce human footprint.

Such a helpful kitty!

Canadian!?!? What do you know aboot spiders!? Lol

They’re desperate now days. When I was younger and 20ish I tried breaking in and was basically told if I didn’t have a friend or family in to forget about it. I eventually found myself a niche in the trades, but it was rough and not what I wanted. Now we’re facing this demographic shift away from the boomers and because they where dicks about it then, it’s a thing now.

I encourage any young person reading this who feels the slightest inclination to make a circut of their local union halls.

Arachnophobia is weird one too. It has it’s roots so far down our brain stem from billions of years of “fuck no spider!” Like flying and confinement are phobias that happen farther up the consciousness ladder. Spiders, and to a lesser extent snakes are in our like bios settings. Came with the motherboard

I knew a plumber growing up. Dude walked around with a wad of cash that would make a gangster blush. Used to run into him on jobs all the time. By the time I knew him he was one of those elder assholes, would spend 5min saving the day with wizardry and old man strength, and the rest of the day smoking weed and being hilarious. R I P Lionel, you were a good one

I just switched using mint as my new OS. It was so easy. My computer runs so much quicker now. All my steam games just work. Feel free to DM me if you need any pointers!

Ya I was wondering why I couldn’t download it in that state already directly to the drive. But I suppose there was already some formatting that needed to be stripped down before it could function as a boot strapper or whatever it’s called.

Seriously thank you all for reaching out. I thought like maybe one person would begrudgingly link me a copy of Linux for dummies, but you all were so helpful!

And it really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I have memories of messing with Linux in like… 04 or 5 maybe? The ease of use has come a long way, applications are just working without fuss. 10/10

I went for it, kept what I wanted on an external hard drive and nuked the rest. No ragrets
