Most of what I know about Trixie is that it was so easy to upgrade that the only configuration I had to fix was changing the clock back to 24hr time.

I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out.

I recently dumped M$, and in my decision I expected the learning curve to be a downside, but what I’ve experienced is joy and accomplishment in learning new things.

I’d go further to say that learning Windows teaches you about Windows but learning Linux teaches you about computers.

Psensor is a graphical widget on top of lm_sensors that’s shows constantly updated temp/fan/usage info. It’s similar to HWMonitor on Windows.

I’m trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little ‘x’ is scary and weird.

Just let the students edit the course assignments before completing them. Everyone gets an A and teaching has never been easier.

Why has no one thought of this before?

It’s good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can’t be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.

Linux is easier to install than Windows. With the new Win11 requirements, Linux is the only choice for PC hardware more than 5yo. And like you say, hardware drivers just work. This used to be Windows major advantage, but now the chance you run into a compatibility issue is about the same for either OS.

I installed Ubuntu back when that was popular, and insisted on having all the graphical bling, like 3d cube that would spin to change desktops. And windows that shook like jello when you moved them.

Of course all this messing around by an amateur did nothing for stability and after 3 or 4 frustrating issues I went back to Windows.

There is a long history of these shenanigans in film. During the filming of “last tango in paris”, the male lead and the director conspired to sodomize the female lead as a “surprise” to get a more genuine “performance”. Roman Polanski drugged and rapped a teenager. The great auteur Kubrick, is famous for harassing and abusing the Shelly Duvall, again, for the sake of her “performance”.

Statistically, for every Weinstein who see’s the inside of a prison for abusing women, ten Woody Alans walk around free. Rape as a sex crime is barely illegal in the US. Rape as a property crime is punished to the full extent…

These people are like the photo-negitive of Eugenicists.

anti-natalists present with reactionary ideology since they’re obsessed with what other people are doing with their bodies. And they advocate for a totalitarian state to regulate that. But then they’re also obsessed with environmentalism?

Maybe their lefty misanthropes? I don’t get it.

There are workarounds to almost every issue you may have. You can run Windows in a VM for software that requires it, or dual boot. M$ Office can be ran in a browser now. There is no reason to buy a license, just DL windows10 direct from M$ and never register, all they do is lock you out of some display options and add a watermark to your desktop.

A paid version of Linux (almost) isn’t a thing. You can buy the install media, you can donate to a foundation, or you can subscribe for support.

If you’re paying for the software, it’s not Linux or your being cheated. That’s weird and I didn’t know that.

There is an unintended benefit to putting an obstacle between people who don’t know how to use the terminal and pasting code into it.

I am a Linux noob as far as the desktop goes. But I’m quite comfortable in the terminal because for years I’ve maintained a home server running Debian. After I install the OS, I unplug the keyboard and monitor and the only way to talk to that box is through SSH.

I went back to Windows10 so I could dual-boot with Secure Boot turned off. My system will dual boot popOS or Debian without issue. Just make sure to install windows first.

The purpose of humane executions is to relieve pain and discomfort to capital punishment supporters. It’s not a worthy goal.

If you oppose capital punishment, then you should prefer the most horrific and cruel methods because that at least forces the public to face the cruelty done in their name.

If Presidents are allowed to declassify documents with their mind, why cant they pardon with autopen?

After watching the latest Atun-Shei video, I’m using burger instead of bourgeois from now on.

We learned about a study in Psych class where the researchers asked elementary school students what their favorite activity was. Drawing was the popular answer. So the researchers paid the kids $8/hr (even 6yo get better than Min wage) to draw. Then they would poll them again about their favorite activities. Guess what was on the bottom?
