I’ll learn the theremin for this effort

I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.

!because of it’s clearly phallic naming!<

Why should he fear power?

Isn’t windows 10 end of support this year?

Also, didn’t Valve commit to SteamOS 3 for PCs at some point?

Of course

MLP is only acceptable if you also call yourself “anon” and regularly browse 4chan.

Hello kitty is preferred, but any Sanryo character is perfectly valid.

Devs have to get striped thigh highs.

Admins have to get fur suits.

Users have to grow a beard and pony tail.

Home-labbers must choose two from the above.

Them’s the rules.

Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.

Yes, precious.

Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.

Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

As an Alaskan, I will say that that is a compliment of the highest order.

Now, if somebody had called you a Texan, that’s basically a slur. An insult of the greatest magnitude.

Eh, FOOF is so unstable that it’s very hard to make enough of it to do any real damage. It’s also just very hard to make. It’s only remotely stable at cryogenic temperatures, and is so reactive that without an inert atmosphere it will rapidly decay into something more stable. Granted, it will do so by oxidizing the molecular oxygen in the air (which is as insane as it sounds) and release a ton of energy in the process but assuming you don’t already have a bunch of it, you won’t be able to create enough of it fast enough to do any meaningful damage without a specialized laboratory and associated equipment.

Chlorine Triflouride however, can be made in your kitchen, and is just stable enough that, assuming you’ve taken some precautions, it’s possible to accumulate enough of it to immolate yourself in one of the worst possible ways.

I’d guess Uzumaki, a horror manga that recently got an anime adaptation. I haven’t read it, but it’s supposed to be amazing.

It’s also not a creepy fact.

My recommendation would be dual-boot until you get everything you need working and have had everything working for a month or two under Linux. Then do a full image backup of the Windows partitions with the Windows backup utility and keep it around just in case. After that spin-up a Windows VM for any edge cases you might come across and enjoy Linux.

The changed the driver model and broke compatibility with any device that didn’t get updated drivers. Which created a fuck-load of ewaste and unnecessary expenditure as people had to replace otherwise functional devices.

It also ran like absolute dog-shit even on PC’s that exceeded the recommended requirements by fairly significant margins.

And until Vista SP2 came out, it remained a buggy, broken, mess of an OS.

Also, given the promises Microsoft made about Project Longhorn (Vista’s cancelled predecessor) and the several years worth of delays Vista had Microsoft had no excuse for releasing an OS that was buggy, poorly optimized, and incompatible with most hardware more than two years old. Vista was supposed to release in 2003, it came out in 2007.

Windows 7 was what Vista should have been and what Windows should have stayed.

A 2011 GMC Terrain. It burned oil like none other. The power steering would occasionally just not work upon starting the car, requiring me to turn it off and on again a several times. Sometimes, I’d stop at a red light, the engine would die, and when I’d restart it it’d go into limp mode. And traction control and AWD would occasionally just give out, which can be dangerous where I live due to ice and snow.

The thing was a hazard and GMC and all associated brands can fuck right off.

Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can.
