I stopped caring. When my GF bought a laptop I just installed Linux there and she has no issues using it. Linux is where I always wanted it to be. Now when I see someone using Windows I just think “you poor soul” to myself and move on.
Get some live distro first and check it out without installation. You will be able to test some basic desktop environments very easily. Most of the distros will have live image. Even better run it in a virtual machine and play around. Test KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon and XFCE. Look at some themes and plugins. I think customizing your desktop is a nice, visual way to see how flexible it all is and get the feel of how configuration files work. If you will like what you can achieve with a bit of work you will just keep going. If you will find it ‘stupid and useless’ it’s probably not for you.
The die-hard Trump supporters are too few in number to do anything
That’s not how civil war happens. What would happen is that elections results would be put in question (for example some states would challenge the results and there would be disagreement among legal experts as to what to do next), both candidates would start issuing orders and different parts of the military would start obeying different candidates. You weren’t that far away from this last time. Fortunately for you the military chain of command wasn’t compromised but the government was absolutely ready to abandon the democratic process and split. All that was needed was for Pence to commit to the plan.
I just use Super+p to run commands. Awesome and custom keybidings are to easily move between tags, windows and monitors, not to launch programs. I use nvim for coding and this combined with awesome means I can do a lot without touching my mouse. At work I use Cinnamon and IntelliJ tools and it’s just less ergonomic. Not a huge difference but I definitely prefer my home setup. In general all Linux WM I used over the years were easy to configure and get good experience. The worst environment I had to ever use was OS X. I just hated all their weir solutions like the launch bar and the common menu bar on top. On Linux I never had any issues.
How long would it take for the police to get involved and protect the site for free? Or do you think they would just ignore it? Does the law in USA say that if the victim of the crime is a company they have to hire private security and police is not involved?
Really? Police in US doesn’t actively investigate crimes any more? I remember from The Wire that they used observe places where they knew crime is likely to happen. Crazy that they stopped.
That’s nothing. I know a girl that asked a waiter to heat up her salmorejo in a microwave. The waiter said no. It wasn’t even a fancy place, just a normal bar. There are some things you just don’t do.
Yep, that’s the bug I’m talking about. I had it and I’m not using GrapheneOS so for me the app was ‘read only’ and I stopped using it. And it was exclusive to Jerboa for me, all the other apps work fine.
