I switched about a year ago. It’s going great. The only problem with my computer was because my RAM broke, but that would’ve still happened on Windows.

You marked your account as a bot but you look like a human user. Some users filter out bots so you may want to change it.

Maybe people will shut the fuck up about Photoshop not working on Linux now. (Not saying it’s not a valid complaint, I just get tired of hearing it.)

Nice! I love it. The community has been nice too.

You should open a bug report saying that the GUI hid the error from you. That’s a problem.

Look up CachyOS and reevaluate if this is a joke.

Shout out to the CachyOS crew. Their Discord is helpful. (Booooo, Discord, I know, I know.) They’re friendly and helpful.

I hate Arch! It’s dumb.

CachyOS my beloved!

I’d post one of Facebook’s “Imagine” images as a joke but it sort of defeats the purpose. So imagine I did it. Feel free to leave the tap on while you do if you really wanna get the full experience.

I’ve been saying this for a while. It’s gonna be particularly difficult to get valuable insight. With sponsored search results you can keep scrolling. Sponsored content will “pollute” the context of the conversation even if only some responses push sponsors.

Mint is based on Ubuntu but not made by Canonical. Dint worry about it.

Same! Yes! I specifically remember one my (then) girlfriend (now wife) made like that. She made me a mix of some songs. I put them on my mp3 player so they had that slip in them on that too. Even on my first smart phone too back before I streamed music.

If only I were in Canada 😭 so free it hurts here in the US

If it was a popular torrent with a lot of seeders, it was probably still working but you never got selected. Could also happen when it was the opposite. If there was like three seeders and no peers, when you finish you’re just sitting there with the other folks with no one to seed to.

I downloaded Rammstein’s Amerika but it was like just one specific verse and chorus repeated. It was really weird. It took my a while to notice because I didn’t know German. My best guess is someone took a free sample of the song from somewhere and edited it so it was longer by repeating it a couple times.

Also, a few of the Nightwish songs I downloaded had an announcer in the middle of the bridge say something like “You are listening to Nightwish’s new song Blah on the album Once.” Maybe it said something about being able to buy it on iTunes. That one was interesting because it definitely seemed legit. I guess some artists released stuff like that knowing people would steal regardless so they wanted a version with instructions to buy it if you liked it. To this day when I’m listening to those songs I hear the voice in my head when the song gets to those parts.

I hear if you torrent you get a nastygram from your ISP. Meanwhile, I hear if you find a site that offers to stream it for free, nothing bad happens. Also I hear that Yandex gives better results for such sites than Google or DDG/Bing.

You were never in any real danger.

There’s a grub flag for that

I have been on macOS at work since December of 2019. Before that it was Windows since 2014. If I had the choice for Linux I might take it over macOS, but I’d happily take either over Windows.

I think so. I read it a few months back, but I don’t use any apt based systems to check on.
