A: uncles take care of themselves (unlike the fish), you can have much more fun with uncles. Always hard could be a problem… I mean, it means I could never wear jeans again. Could be always hard on demand. Also I really like lambos. Tom Hardy is a cool guy as well.

meh, they are all US based, I’ll try to find one EU based that allows cash payments. And I do worry. Remember, only the paranoids survive! :D But thanks for the info, I think I’ve found something suitable.

Im_old, to linux in Looking to make the switch

if you don’t mind having to install updates every day it’s nice. I use Cinnamon and there was a small issue at the beginning (dbus-something IIRC) so some apps (calculator, firefox, libreoffice) were taking a long time to start (waiting on a timemeout on something). But that’s the only issue I had in the past 6 months. I installed lutris and play steam and Epic games. I have docker (not the desktop version) installed. System is lean and snappy. Do I see a massive change from when I was using Linux Mint? Not really. I changed because I borked my LM installation and needed to reinstall anyway. Installed EndeavourOS on a spare SSD to try it out and ended as my daily driver. I still have LM on the other SSD, but I only went back once to transfer my documents/stuff. TBH I tried it out because I saw everyone banging on about Arch, but couldn’t be bothered to install from scratch. I’d only used RedHat or Debian derivative (I’m old, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian in my mind because I remember how it started out) distros in the past 20+ years (well, and gentoo for some time when it first came out. Also Mandrake, but can’t remember what package manager it had), so I wanted to try something new. I’m happy with it, but I don’t make the distro I use a matter or religion. It works, it’s stable, I learn something new, job done.

That’s fine, I am an evil genius with an army of minions, bring it on!

I might not be up to date with Mongolia real estate value. Isn’t it most steppe? Plus I really don’t want to deal with people to sell them the fish. I’m more for a relaxed and fun life with all my uncles and Tom Hardy, not the hustle.

It’s so horribly slow and resource hungry. It sucks a ton of memory, a lot of cpu. Every time I start a video call the cpu fan goes brrrr

Im_old, to linuxmemes in Useless messenger

Absolutely!

I appreciate that, but it would be another part of my infra that I have to manage. I have enough stuff to worry about already, if I can just send some money in an envelope would save me a lot of time!

I did not know that (about the history), I will check that out, thanks!

I’m tempted as well, but I don’t like to leave a payment trail from me to them. And if you say “bitcoin”, it’s not anonymous. Monero is a damn pain in the ass to get for what I’ve seen. Can I just send them cash in an envelope?
