Deference for Darkness - Halo 3 ODST Soundtrack

Sadly, no. Your best bet is Lineage is without gapps. Aurora and F-Droid covers pretty much everything I use, so that’s likely my move in the near future.

If you’re interested in Linux, you can boot from it without installing to try it out. Nearly every distribution has a live boot option.

As for differences, the entire OS is different, but with something like KDE, it’s still very much “point and click”. You don’t need to be a programmer to use it. This is especially true if you run most things through a browser.

The biggest disadvantage is program compatibility. Windows applications need translation layers for Windows apps to run on Linux and they don’t always work. Many application makers, including people like Steam for gaming, have full Linux support (all of Valve’s hardware like the Steam deck runs Linux).

If you want to try it out in a non-live way with a “safety net”, you can run a dual boot with both Windows and Linux and choose between them at boot. Or you can install Windows in a VM and run your Windows-specific programs until you find Linux alternatives.

It’s a bit of work, but it truly frees your PC. I made the switch from Windows to Linux first with a dual boot…then only Windows for VR, and now I’ve got everything on Linux. I haven’t booted into Windows on any of my PCs in 4+ years at this point and I couldn’t be happier.

That said, use what works for you. If that’s Windows or MacOS, that’s fine. Just know the advantages and disadvantages.

Capitalist pig says buy our product or else. Story at 11.

Don’t worry. They are still partnered with that taser and body armor making company I can’t remember that name of. Flok will probably just pull from them which pulls from Ring, so they’ll get the data somehow.

Pixels so big, you can smell 'em

I have gone all AMD graphics since converting to Linux. My 9060XT 16GB and 6600 8GB both are going strong.

Fuck NVidia.

I had three potential career paths I wanted when I was a kid: Masseuse, Meteorologist, or IT

After reading about each career, I decided being a Masseuse would destroy my body and give me carpel tunnel and Meteorologist is too restrictive of a career due to the few number of openings.

I settled on IT and I’m a Network Engineer. I hate it. Pays OK, though.

Turns out a lot of things you enjoy that you have to then do as a job for 18 years, rather than a hobby, makes you grow to no longer enjoy it.

My wife appreciates my personal massage skills, though.

Do their switches still stop forwarding traffic when you make changes for 10-30 seconds?

I upgraded all of my devices to 16gb or 32gb of RAM just as all this crap started happening, before prices spiked, and made sure I have enough storage.

Now I’m just praying that all of the hardware holds out for 2-3 years to weather this storm. Please keep on chugging, my 5800X in a B550 mobo…I literally can’t afford to replace you anytime soon.

I’m 36 and I wear a CPAP because my body tries to stop breathing otherwise.

Banning groups like that only amplifies their “persecuted” persona. It’s best to spend on education and destroying their credibility, which is how we dealt with fucking idiots before we got complacent.

It’s Copilot all the way down.

Renaming it to CoPilot Browser in 3…2…

Neon is great, but don’t use it for mission critical stuff. I’ve had updates brick my system before because it’s bleeding edge for KDE.

Mint is my go-to for when I want something to get work done and don’t want to fuck with it. Biggest gripe is the networking menu in Cinnamon kind of sucks for VLANs and it’s still on X11 until they finish making Wayland stable.

Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.

TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.

Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?

Green? As in Green Party? The environmentalist Republicans? That Green Party?

Pokemon Daycare…because we all know what happens in the daycare and how those eggs are made
