It was the straw that broke the camels back to get me to switch to Linux.

That’s my answer too. I went a month with just trying to make basic things work. Had to go back to being productive. Now, I bought another drive and I spend time whenever I have it. Once everything works as i need it to, I’ll switch full time.

Omg… i wish I knew about this 2 weeks ago…

Also, scale matters. If 4 posts increased to 7, that’s a 75% increase I’m not concerned about. Now, 40,000 to 70,000 concerns me.

Because one of the few things he actually understands is he is not immortal, so he’s trying to make a legacy. Hence, literally offering his sperm to anyone who wants it, and not caring about anything other than making sure his name is at the top of everything he is even mildly interested in.

It’s not sad, there is a direct connection.

They are the top games because of the psychological manipulation being successful.

It already can.

There are some places where an inability to pay fines, can result in a warrant and imprisonment.

8% now. 20 years ago, it was a third of that. If there is profit to be made, profit will be made. It’s also just one small factor in an extremely shitty whole.

The fact prison labour exists at all is an issue. If prisoners truly benefited from it, like a fair wage plus every day reducing their sentence, then I could hold my nose, but as is. Slavery.

This is proof they don’t understand the endgame here. The only (legal) type of slavery left in the United States is prisoner labour. It is not a coincidence that the right wants to make so many things criminal. It’s also not a coincidence they want to keep poor people desperate because it makes them more likely to commit crime. It’s not a coincidence they support minimum sentences.

More crime, more free labour, more for profit prisons selling services…

Because it’s never been about anything other than control. The right to choose anything is abhorrent to them. The only rights they want you to have are the right to be dictated to and the right to be like them.

Someone always beats me to the funniest response!

I switched to Tuxedo. It solved some weird stability issues I had, which were mostly monitor resolution and layout issues.

I’m new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it’s what I wanted.

To say I had jank is an understatement.

Asus made me handwrite a note with a picture of the card in the computer in frame, and the box and receipt, just to register the warranty.

Assholes.

I know a lot more than fuck all about Linux, but I’m also super lazy, so Mint is a good option.

I also want something that my wife finds easy. She’s now on her second week, and only one issue which she rebooted and it went away. After that, there is benefit to making mine like hers in case I ever need her to do something when I’m away and don’t have remote access.

Mint. Cinnamon for my wife. Probably the same for me, though I’m debating XFCE.

For me it is. I migrated my wife last week and mine is next week. AI spying is the last straw for me.

That’s what I took it to mean.

VMware is not on death row. VMware is already dead. It no longer exists. All that’s left is an entity possessing its corpse.
