And maybe Ctrl Z/Y (depends on layout with this one) to Undo and Redo

Edit:typo

14 year old PCs are quite capable for may everyday use

I got a core 2 duo (3gb of ram and a HDD as a boot drive, really ancient I know) computer, it's the only computer I have and I absolutely hate it since it sucks, even with Linux (xfce as a desktop) it takes so long to boot (usually 3 to 4 minutes, windows took like 6 to 7) and not to mention it being so laggy it struggles with launching Firefox and for example a file browser at the same time, and loading a webpage also takes a long time (around 20 seconds for Google, YouTube about 30 s)

Yeah, these computers are really just unusable even for really lightweight work, yeah "upgrade to a SSD, it will be blazing fast", wouldn't that just speed up the boot time? The least important thing? Since like I can just walk somewhere and then come back before it boots, but when I'm waiting for a webpage to load or a program to load up it's really that I do have to wait there, doing nothing in the meantime

I was about to say that most apps should check the NT number but then I remembered that until XP it wasn't common to run a NT system, but then I remembered NT 4 existed basically in the same timeframe as 95 did, and even if the argument went to "it's a 9x application", shouldn't these OSes at least have some sort of build number or different identifier systems? Because as I said NT systems were around, so they would probably need a check for that

Yeah I need to get a new drive to test as I said, as for the usb ports I tried all of them on my pc, none worked, about reformatting idk if you mean Linux or windows but I have some important stuff there (the reason I installed on a new drive without having another sata cable) so it's not the preferred option for me

Well there was only one physical drive to install on do it had to install to it's drive, so idk what's going on, and it wouldn't explain me not being able to boot live USBs either

I did had to turn on uefi to install, so idk if that had to do something with it, can't recall if I tried turning it off yet

No the weird thing is that I had only one sata cable for my hard drive, so I just plugged in a new replacement drive and installed it, only when the live USBs didn't work I tried plugging in the windows drive

Yeah but I would need another drive to now install another os on, but yeah it might be worth giving a try

Yup, tried just loading the windows drive inside and setting it in priority in bios (just in case), in the top left corner it just showed something along the lines of "Ubuntu - success" (don't remember now since it was so long ago)

The thing is it works, just that other bootable drives don't work, only this Linux drive, no live USBs not my old windows drive, nothing else works no matter what I Change in the bios

Well it still works, it's just that it's "locked" to Linux, no matter what I change in the bios it refuses to boot anything else, live USBs, my old windows drive (since I installed it separately), nothing, only just that install of xubuntu, nothing else

I learnt this when trying to distro hop, that was like a few days after I installed, that was like in September of last year, I haven't fixed (or bothered with) it since

Jokes on you I trolled myself by being stupid and not asking for help when installing on the crap old pc I have and fucked myself over by bricking it

I'm also a cis male and I got hair so thick it takes around an hour for the barber to just cut through the helmet I grew in a month, so no thanks I don't need it to be even thicker.

I was a lot into drawing a few years ago, moderately good I would say, nothing exceptional I would say, then I got bored of drawing with a pencil and paper and wanted to try out digital drawing, never got one and I didn't draw ever since, I've had some hand injuries in that time (nothing serious but it definitely left a mark) so idk if I can still draw, and this just turns into a spiral of demotivation

Yeah but if you live in places as Eastern Europe there aren't a lot of "yay LGBT" people (yeah sorry for me saying it that way, couldn't think of any other way to describe it), especially in the more remote parts (like for example, Prague is like an American city in this regard, a ton of support and stuff, and when I compare it to the middle of nowhere I live in it's the complete opposite)

I at least get the luxury that they don't get the "uwu Linux turned me into a femboy" post on their tiktok fyp (ofc they have that app installed so they can get their daily dose of homophobic bs)

To note these aren't my friends but classmates, we had an event a few days ago about learning how to stand up for our opinions and the first thing they pulled out is about this, ofc 95% of all guys in the class went to the "ban and execute" group, they lost their argument since their only opinion was "well it's not natural", I hate how they just dragged this for the rest of the event (the next task was to come up with a list of the most common positive opinions of society, ofc since they are the majority of out class the result was "banning LGBTQ", and not to mention they dragged it for next three days after the event too

TL;DR

It just depends on where you live, and what the common opinions there are

Well it's more correct than not having anything, and the sources are the data from before they removed them + the users with the extension disliking the video

I don't think you understood, I am at the side of water

I'll be fighting with you

Edit: fighting with OP, how does someone think the opposite?

Must be an US thing, I live in Europe so it kinda makes sense

Never had kool-aid but heard of it, never knew they made a collab

Where did you get a Capri sun with a plastic straw? Every since like 2 or 3 years ago they just do paper ones

I remember once finding one with a plastic straw 6 months after they switched to paper ones, it felt like a jackpot, I can't imagine they make them with plastic ones though
