i do already dual boot mint cinnamon edition on my computer, whenever i'm curious i'll try to run a certain application. and most of the time it'll work just fine.
i have problems with gaming, mostly. there was a time where fusion360 didn't work vecause it required edge for login, but i believe it's been patched.
i use a Trustmaster T300, a stream deck (which is "compatible"), and play some online games with anticheat. i get that there's a runtime for battleye and easy anti-cheat alteady, but it's (to my knowledge) impossible to play fortnite.
if i ever bought a laptop, i would install linux no problem. but my use case is in the very early stages of even being possible. believe me, i WANT to use linux. i just don't want to create too much work passing through usb devices to a VM or rebooting just to play beam.ng.
would you rather have literally 10,000+ points of failure in your system, or none?
if you chose the latter, you better put tiktok on the blacklist.
people are unreasonable, and most of them don't care about any kind of security. our IT department regularly tries to log in with shit like "Password1234!" and find hundreds of accounts who have this password. that is why we have 2FA on our phones which force us to use a pin that's at least 8 digits long.
and not allowing people to install malware is somehow not a good idea?
yes i'm unreasonable and do stupid shit, and no one is stopping me.
that seems to be the operating principle of right wing politicians in general. bitch and moan about whatever gets the most attention, get elected, fuck over the voter and take people's rights away. rinse and repeat.
because people who use their brains when buying cars largely stick to well-known brands with proven reliability and ideally a large aftermarket for spare parts where they live.
depending on location and terrain, a number of different cars are a good idea to buy. from a toyota Yaris/corolla in central europe, to the well-known Ford F-150 in america.
i can't think of where i would even get spare parts for a BYD in europe. that might be a different situation for russia, china, etc.
which is what happened with frostpunk for me. i made it through the main story once, and bought it and the DLCs at full price. 5 years after it came out.
our IT department modified the software, so if they didn't want espionage, they would've limited the amount of apps i can install.
plus i'm an apprentice, and have to give it back. there's nothing that secret on it neither do i have access to anything.
but yeah, that would definetely happen. AFAIK the IT department takes "real" company devices much more seriously and only allows installs from our own app store.
imagine knowing your industry will fuck up the planet for 70 YEARS and not investing a single penny into renewable energies. you could've owned a lot of the future energy production, but you goofed it.
i was shocked when i found out that everyone was bitching about immigrants collecting all the welfare, even though they are prohibited from working for 9 months after entering germany.
also many of them have no choice, who's gonna employ someone who barely speaks english and not a lick of german?
conservatives are lying rats who just feed off of the hate they're spreading.
i never preorder, and i don't think i could justify jt even if i did. buying a game for 70 bucks when you don't even know if it's any good just sounds stupid to me.
more frens to play mariokart with (on my thrift store wii)
