I'll have to give that a go thought you needed wired to authenticate first

It is unfortunately not and I think to be able to root it I'd need to get some kind of files onto it in the first place anyway wouldn't I?

Also unsure what rooting it would do to DRM controlled streaming, which I would rather not hobble the quality of

Iirc that requires a usb connection at least in the first instance right? I guess only one way to find out if the usb c charging port on the Chromecast dongle supports any kind of data transfer

When I was doing it I started from scratch, you can generally keep your home directory intact between distros though, settings and data stay

That's not capitalism that's just greed, one is an economic system the other is human nature that'll come out in any society

I suppose Stalin's Russia was also capitalism's fault somehow

I do wish more people would come to terms with that, I have no issues with people eating meat provided they're actively aware of what's happened to put that meat on their plate

Too many people never even think about it

Same, I get why beyond meat exists but I can't touch the stuff myself and it sucks when that's the only option available

I agree, elementary was the distro I stuck with longest before I settled on nix

Actual macos ux kinda sucks though in my opinion, when I've had to use a Mac I find it gets in my way half the time with the emoji picker pop up or something

Have got kitty and xterm looking identical, multiplexing is done by zellij anyway

I think kitty is a bit snappier but honestly you could switch one out for the other and I probably wouldn't notice

Because you'd need to search through an infinite number of digits (unless you have access to the original formula)

The difference is nobody knows what the binary blobs are made of

You can't prove that there isn't one somewhere

Not even letting your bop cook?

Mint/elementary are good if on windows 10/Mac respectively

What I would say is what is your reason for converting people, because you're going to end up as permanent tech support this way when they'd have probably been fine with a Mac or something

Good old I can't believe it's not macos

Mint is one of the best bets for beginners, it's very similar to windows 10 UI wise by default and generally very user friendly

Don't forget uWuntu

I was on 50 max for a while, it's perfectly fine for pretty much everything but big downloads will take longer

(I was gaming online on voice chat at the same time my family was streaming and there wasn't any issue)

I have just upgraded to 500mb for about £35 a month though your pricing is rough

Ah gotcha, difficult to tell over text and a lot of people here would genuinely respond like that unprovoked
