I’ve been told the same thing, they said god gave me my strength, but realistically if this “god” did give me anything, it would be my weaknesses and hostile social environment, where I was forced to find my own strengths that a god couldn’t give unless they wanted me to face some sort of mythological nepotism.
For what reason?
I got a mouse like a year ago from a brand called Rapoo (never heard of them), and it was a solid mouse that supported standard dongle wireless as well as BT, and it is quite nice ergonomically compared to the Logitech one I’ve got for another computer.
Then I started having issues with left click, with it surprisingly often clicking twice (or more) or not clicking at all, which is causing me to accidentally close every app open just because it double/triple/quadruple clicked somehow. Then there’s middle click, which works slightly better, it only skips sometimes, but the Logitech mentioned earlier is the one I heavily use middle click (since I close and open browser tabs using it very often), and that one is pretty close to actually just failing.
Not sure why, but the most recent mice have just worked like shit, with both of these being brand new. As a comparison, I’ve got 2 Microsoft arc touch mice (the old one with a dedicated touchpad for the scroll area but not the buttons,) and I used both for school, with friends snapping it between their postures hundreds of times out of curiosity, which they’ve sustained really well, and no buttons have gotten issues apart from the touchpad of one of them, which likes to deactivate when I scroll too much which is plain inconvenient.
What about what they said was childish?
I used to use fedora on my first school Thinkpad (since I recieved another when my brother graduated, becoming my second school laptop,) then after I got 2 considerably more powerful laptops for free I switched the thinkpads out of my setup, and to this day they still run windows 11 unfortunately (haven’t gotten around to it and they’re both nvidia MX business machines, so that’s not awfully ideal,) and then I converted the second Thinkpad to a FydeOS machine (basically chrome os with local accounts) to give to my mother as her own laptop, and then put chromeOS flex on a third Thinkpad I bought off a friend for $10 which remains as my occasional-browsing-but-also-throw-around-laptop that has pretty friggin good battery life.
I do plan to switch at least one of the MX laptops to Linux, for which I’m considering Pop!_OS due to driver support and GPU configuration, but I’ve still gotta back some stuff up first.
If you install an app via the built in package manager, yep, you’ll have to restart to update the system image, but for most apps you’ll need (and don’t require deep system integration), you could just use appimage, flatpak or snap, which will all work without a restart. I’ve actually been using immutable distros for many times I’ve used Linux, and once you use it, it’s easy to get used to it unless your use case would work better on standard Linux.
Also, I don’t follow much if the kernel hotswapping feature news, but I do know that for these immutable distros, a pretty great feature is that you can just rebase the entire distro via a single command if you’d like, and you’ll keep all user data. I’ve actually done it on one of my spare laptops, rebasing from fedora kionite to bazzite linux, and it wasn’t awfully fast, it took an hour or so, but I find it impressive nonetheless.
Wait, there are people whose computers actually shutdown when Update and Shutdown is selected? I swear I’ve never had that happen since 2 or 3 years ago, and everything since has always restarted my devices.

fuuuucckkk I wish we had more websites designed like this again, this was so much better than the gigantic amount of padding, animations and other random ass elements just for a website that’s bland as fuck that we have today.
It’s been so long
Since last I’ve seen my son lost to this monster
I cannot imagine how disgustingly slow your college ones are compared to my high school’s ones, which are 16gb ram, i7 boxes running windows 11. They are pretty damn slow even after they recently upgraded them a month ago.
For most things, I just use my laptop since it stutters much less, but using pycharm on my laptop is pretty much impossible due to its lack of specs, so I begrudgingly use the PC.
So you’re saying that pressing 2 on screen buttons, then closing a page is a better solution than creating a group then dragging in and out whatever you need? Sure, I use the bookmarks bar too, but it’s not for stuff I’ll remove after a while, those are perminent, but tab groups are generally for stuff you will eventually close, but wantto sort in the meantime to make it more convenient.
If you don’t have a use for it, fair enough, I don’t either, but it is a genuinely useful feature for some that can’t be replaced by more clicks.
Same with me, a few years back, I completely gave up on trying to get my laptop’s audio drivers working since they periodically killed themselves for no apparent reason, and decided to just not use audio, even though the main thing I did was watch videos.
I mean, for windows 11, I haven’t had many issues currently, only really the keyboard on my 4 year old dell malfunctioning, which then fixed itself after 3 hours.
I’ve tried tiny11 3 times on 2 different laptops. Both were alright resources wise, but still worse than any Linux distro I’ve tried. After you install some stuff and get forced into the automatic updates, it bloats up fast and slows down drastically, and then just becomes standard windows 11.
If you use only the basic built in windows apps, which doesn’t even include edge of the app store, and you use it without internet, sure, you can use it well on very low specs, but even on a moderately spec computer, it’ll still slow down if you use it like the average person.
This is why I kinda wish we had metric time as standard, but absolutely nobody would adopt it now unless they actually find t useful
I used to hate on it before I tried it at a friend’s house. Man, Hawaiian pizza is one of my favourite ones now and I will happily join you on dying on this hill.
If I recall correctly, wasn’t this already one of Microsoft’s ideas?
I lowkey thought you meant the tomato sauce brand for a sec
