CaptKoala, to lemmyshitpost in The White Buffalo

Many in this thread seem to need the reminder…

CaptKoala, to linuxmemes in Accurate?

Yes, by removing all internet connectivity and updates.

Yes+: Hulk smash.

I’m currently testing my game library before I relegate windows to a cage, some teething issues as I expected but I’ll get through it.

I will absolutely poke windows with a stick, preferably a pointy, barbed wire wrapped one.

As someone of “this generation” you speak of, you hit the nail on the head and sent it home clean.

My generation has been brainwashed to the point that I’m not sure it can ever be fully undone.

CaptKoala, to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

The discord thing is improving (slowly), also partly it now recognizes Linux games launched from steam, but not proton ones. I haven’t tried lutris or anything yet, but I haven’t booted into windows for weeks now.

I’ve also become more comfortable with Linux in general so that’s likely helped too.

CaptKoala, to linux in Cannot Install openSUSE or any other Distro

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

There are examples of exactly this occuring regarding renewables, there are community funded battery/solar farms here in Aus.

If it can be done on that scale, it can definitely be scaled up, it’s just a matter of willingness of the community.

Based. If you see something you dont like on the fediverse, you can ignore it (like a sane person) or filter it out (also like a sane person).

I removed and moan as much as the next bloke, but yeah that comment hit me right in the soul (assuming I have one).

I’ve had similar thoughts and sentiments in my (short) Linux journey, my only advice is to distro-hop a bit as many Lemmings preach, find your fit (in VM/live mode or separate machine) and dive right in.

Side effects may include hair loss in early introduction, stick with it, it’s worth it.

100% on the TLDR there, I’ll edit as such, that comment is open source ;)

I’ve been running Ubuntu on a separate machine for a little while now, and it works great, just not a good fit for me.

I’m happy to say within 2 weeks of my dual boot I’m already on mint 90% of the time. It just fucking works. (Without waking me up at 2-4am sending the fans to mach 7 for a damn windows update).

I’ve been experiencing Windows’ degredation since 98/XP, it’s been an extremely smooth transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

Still working out the kinks with my game library but apart from new user errors it’s worked flawlessly (unlike Win10).

Thank you Lemmings for showing me to the light!

Edit/TLDR: it’s kinda like windows, but functional and user control is king.

CaptKoala, to linuxmemes in So sad when it happens

New Mint user here, it’s dope and I love it. Windows soon to be VM.

CaptKoala, to piracy in Once a pirate, always a pirate

Absolutely, this guy doesn’t care one bit about anything but the cash and status.

I pirate as much as the next bloke, but also buy multiple copies of some games because I enjoy them so much, or to get friends to play. I’m looking at you terraria…

It’s for the same reasons I would rather support a YouTuber I like directly through Patreon etc. than by disabling my adblocker.
