What vintage? Is it a good year?

Dirty little distro slut. Actually been pretty loyal to arch since I first switched to linux. If you don't like to struggle I wouldn't recommend arch for new users.🫠

You get to run older games that use to run like shit on previous console generations without waiting for a "remaster" and paying $70 for it. Current generation games will run better on future versions of your PC sometimes to a really silly degree.

I heard half life 2 was really hard to run back in the day and now you can run it at 200 fps on a modern toaster.

The real cost is in trying to match parts that look good together (especially white), spending money on RGB/screens, going liquid instead of air so you can see more of your motherboard, and spending way too much on a really nice looking case.

Damn, when did they add the print function in android. I remember when you couldn't print a year ago.

I found it, it was added at the end of last year Firefox for Android ver 118. I can finally disable chrome on android.

IDK but it's funny to see people jump out of their skin when my mother's phone goes off.😆

That's a lesson I learned switching to macos for a few years. After spending that much I basically had no choice but to learn to adapt.

It did make it a lot easier to switch to Linux later on because I've already abandoned a workflow and a set of apps once already.

If this is the way you act when you ask for help I can't blame them for not helping. There's a lot of assumptions happening here and I really don't appreciate it. I was being really light hearted about the situation, sharing my experience with Linux, and trying to start a constructive conversation. Sorry if the Windows thing rubbed you the wrong way I thought it was kinda funny and a little cheeky. Seriously didn't think anyone cared about windows.

I really do feel for you if you ran into a few assholes on the Internet but that's kinda just the Internet. There are plenty of good people willing to help out so instead of spreading the hate look for better more constructive conversations to have elsewhere.

I'm here to tell you now I don't give a damn who uses Linux or why and I'm especially not interested in selling a fantasy or even bringing up the fact that I use Linux. Windows just got really annoying and Linux does what I need.

It really gets to me when someone gets on their soapbox and slaps labels on people without ever knowing them.

Also fuck hp and the drm cartridge thing. If you get the chance go gangsta on that thing like in office space. My sister got locked out of one of those printers after cancelling her ink refill subscription.

Idk, I had issues on Wayland with Nvidia and switching back to xorg works fine. About the only thing wrong was a lot of screen tearing in games after a driver update.

The live environment is for testing your hardware and trying things out. You'd be surprised how many things do work and you don't need to nuke your system to find out. If it doesn't work you just reboot and everything is back to normal.

Also I don't even bother with figuring out printers on Linux. I'm almost certain they all universally work, some sort of Unix black magic if you ask me.

If your a Windows fan that fine but don't pretend we don't try to make it easy.

It'll be a sad day when the other foot drops. I like Linux but I understand it's not for everyone.

At least pentiums are still supported. Who knows what all those IBM Thinkpad users are capable of if they weren't distracted.

I thought it was funny when cockpit a web interface for Linux servers said my Firefox browser was out of date. It locked me out for security reasons until I accessed it with an updated version of Firefox. I was using archlinux and ran updates that morning.

It wasn't that inconvenient I just SSH into my server for whatever I was doing and they fixed it in about a week.

There's no law saying you need to support multiple platforms. There are some windows apps that don't exist on macos for example. It just sucks.

Me using an android phone and an iPad.

Sorry I thought you were talking about PC games. It annoys me how hard software preservation will be thanks to this modern landscape. I don't envy anyone willing to undertake that task now or in the future.

There's basically going to be nothing mainstream to play with from this era of computing in future computer museums.

Well I wish you luck. Moving is no fun IMO

If the service goes down because a company closes it's doors or they just decide you don't own it, your kinda fucked. Also how do you even launch a game with online drm on an old PC you don't want to connect to the Internet.

Sony is way ahead of you! Sony pulls discovery videos PlayStation users already own.

It's by far the easiest to make copies of and I do. Basically I own it and I have multiple backups with no drm. You can burn new disks and they play just fine in a Blu-ray player. A movie server is far more convenient though. Bonus you can watch hello Kitty on the toilet if you like.

Music is just as trivial. I wish games were easier to back up though.

It's not all bad just the federal for the most part. We're working on that but are politicians are as old as the hills. I believe they spend more time listening to corporate lobby pitches than reading the damn news but that's our problem to deal with.

Most of the biggest tech giants have picked up jobs from homeland or the NSA at one point in time or another, Microsoft is just the most prevalent along with Facebook (meta).
