Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

Freedom isn’t free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

Same… Sorry not sorry for your loss.

Evolution is a good client that I used for a long time. But I switched to Thunderbird after their recent UI overhaul and I have to say it feels way more thought out and robust than evolution.

Sounds familiar, haha.

Holographic displays

Same lol.

Agreed. Forced arbitration is so shady…

So if I have been using arch with infected xz library to connect to a Debian LTS server, am I compromised?

I use yubikey, hard to find sites that fully support yubikey services (the one touch feature)

Hahahahaha

Pay to win ruined everything… I remember when I discovered I could purchase all the godly gear (diablo ii LoD) I wanted for like $10USD back as a kid.

It really made me reevaluate how much time I’ve been putting into the game to grind out my character. It took a lot of the pleasure and meaning out of all the time and energy I had put in.

Now… Diablo II was not designed for this… This was against the Blizzard terms… But still applies.

All this pay to win stuff on video games is terrible and really evil. Loot boxes are like putting slot machines on children’s playgrounds…

Your ssh private keys are safe, assuming nobody has physical access to your home directory. You can configure them to not require a password.

If someone has physical access to your computer then they could become compromised. If you are worried about that you could encrypt the whole drive.

Yeah the “free market” will work itself out /s

USA is facing a similar problem with boomers retiring.

net neutrality

Would that have protected Firefox users from YouTube’s throttling speeds of anyone using the Firefox client?

NewPipe for android

When the system crashes?

So very rarely I guess.

This is a joke, right?

This is a huge step in the right direction… All these post docs funding their research with federal grants then when they discover/create a successful drug they price it as if they funded the research themselves.

The desperate pleas of a king who lost his crown.

The writing’s on the wall bro. Why don’t you just do what the U.S. oil giants are doing and take that $ and invest in renewables and the future?

Hamas threw the first punch then ran to hide in the shadows.

How else can you retaliate without blowing up everything casting a shadow?
