Ziglin (it/they)

Firefox gives me a popup (for YouTube at least). I think this might be outdated.

Checking the signature seems like it would be good practice. But that doesn’t mean that they do.

Hmmm that can’t be right, did I use the wrong terminal? Why can I only sometimes be a girl?

I think without instructions most people would need help due to not knowing what a partition is. So depending on your interpretation of incapable this seems like a huge exaggeration. The Linux installers with GUIs I’ve seen at least explained how to set them up.

Couldn’t you just compile those dependencies yourself and use your own blobs then?

I’m confused by this comment

But I want to keep Christopher Street Day :(

CSD stands for Client Side (window) Decorations in this case.

Yup and then I have a startup script that asks me if I’d like a GUI. Saved me setting up a display manager and it’s basically the same amount of effort when logging in.

The other computers were clean installs and still an update made one Windows installation unbootable and the other had sometimes daily BSODs which a computer repair store assured us was a RAM issue despite it working fine with the same configuration on Linux. After a few months the problem seemed to have fixed itself but I just switched to Linux on both machines.

It looks like we’re both cursed with weird issues just with the other OS. I have had 5 times that I’ve had kernel panics and of the ones that I needed to troubleshoot it was Nvidia drivers and a hardware failure.

Nope, I wasn’t really aware of such things, I bet they would have helped though. Now that I think about it the one laptop had a weird antivirus software preinstalled which caused quite a few problems too.

Why? So you can experience win10 for a few months?

It seems like a weird middle-ground that might be used in a weird 5 year old server. Probably not great for gaming. But I too had stability issues with all of my windows installations. (1.5 laptops, a prebuilt and later the machine I use now which I started using with windows) All of them had regular BSODs (though the laptops were a little older and might not always have been that way) and one pc even broke the Windows Bootloader so that I couldn’t boot it anymore.

I can read the manual that comes with a camera and it will teach me how to set it up and take some pictures. Most (at least all that I’ve used) linux distros have something similar. Unless there’s some sort of incompatibility with your system it should not be an issue. If you do have problems you get to choose whether or not to troubleshoot them but in my experience doing so on Linux is a lot easier.

When I first set up Ubuntu I was astonished by the fact that I could just download a windows executable and double-click to start it. But I loved how simple it was to download stuff using the package manager.

I had a bit of experience with the Windows terminal and had been coding for two years at that point so I was able to almost fully switch over within two weeks and found it significantly easier.

Hear me out: a bear is useful, fuzzy and could probably squeeze through doors.

A platypus is just perfect, I don’t need it to have combat proweses when I can play with a platypus instead of fighting.

Being the only one with a bear would of course make fighting an option but still I wouldn’t want it to get hurt.

With those conditions I would pick a bear/panda or platypus respectively.

I might actually do this, it seems nice.
