Thank you for your service :)

Did this but 28 weeks is garbage and I gave up

I have been thinking about not replacing my laptop and just getting a steam deck (or a Lenovo?) kb, mouse and a bigger external screen if I need it.

Will that work ?

Dual booting with Ubutu a couple tiimes over the last decade, then tried dual booting with Mint 3 years ago on W10, thenW11 is annouced, seems the enshitifaction would be worse but, didn’t use Mint, same reasn I’d not used Ubuntu, fell back on the familiar.

Purchased a new NVME 2 years ago, instilled Mint on it and took the dual boot NVME physically out, 3 months later formated it and use it for Timeshift :) Then.went to LMDE.

Eventually got sick of the nagging on my infrequently used Surface Pro 7 about going to W11 and did the same thing there, wiped it and installed LMDE, a few hiccups but used the Surface Pro drivers from Github and got it sorted eventually, touch works etc

The main reason i stayed was Adobe Lighroom but that was enshitifying as well. I still haven’t wrapped my head around Darktable properly but less time spent on photography these days as well

Onky real dislike is communities disparate across instances. /c/linux here /c/linux there /c/linix every fucking where. There should be some way for communities who want to federate, to federate?

niche hobbies

Like toaster fucking ?

I mean i actually used Wordperfect for DOS back in the day, so why ? Liber Office is a thing and works.

I went with Linux Mint Debian Edition. Couple hiccups over the last 18 months but queries in the Mint help forum fixed those problems. I use Flatpacs when I can.

I have zero idea what I’m doing :)

LibreOffice is excellent and EU based so I use and prefer that.

This happened to me a few years ago (W10) with OneDrive but I had another copy and gave up quickly trying to engage with MS.

I use Lunix Mint now anyway, that was another reason for moving from Windows at the time.

Sorry to thread jack. One little app I miss from Windows is a simple screengrab annotator? Wondering if people have anything to recommend.

Eg to circle some on screen text, add an arrow and maybe add some of my own text.

I cant get my Loigtech KB to screen grab, so I just use the Screengrab app in Mint, which is fine but zero annotation abilities.

I have tried Flameshot but it is a shitshow and doesn’t work properly and is unstable (for me) and doesn’t allow me to put it in the clipboard and paste in say Signal.

Grab a 1 TB nvme, take the Widows one out, install the new SSD boot the USB thumbdrive, install Bazzite (or Mint) and off you go, that’s all I did. I’m running LMDE but not a big gamer, so the little I do play all works on Mint Debian Edition.

If it all gives you the shits after a time, just put the old SSD back in and boot back into Windows.

True but like Reddit shitting the bed every 8 months leads to waves of folks on Lemny, or Twaxter doing the same thing leading to Mastodon waves. This wikl be another wave but how many ? Maybe a few 1000 only I guess ? I left for Mint about 3 years ago (dual boot defaulting to Mint) then to LMDE 12 months ago.

Pirate bay ;)

Ask Trump?

I find the actual user ENGAGEMENT significantly worse.

That’s the point though?

I don’t use Mastodon for engagement but a feed of interesting stuff across a variety of subjects posted by others. Masto is a little bit like an RSS feed, I don’t castigate RSS for that either.

Therefore I’ve come to the clear scientific and educated decision that Lemmy is simply superior

Sarcasm aside, that’s like saying a screwdriver is better then a hammer.

Rice or pasta with cheap sauce and some grinded meat can sustain a person for quite a long time.

Another tip is to mix ground beans (just use a blender, black beans and chick peas etc) into the minced meat as well at say 50/50

Chrome’s buyer f***s up too badly and Normies

Not sure what sort of borked mess it would need to be to change peoples habits. Goggle’s fucked Chrome themselves and " normies" aren’t fleeing.

I handled the heat by moving from Northern Australia to Tasmania.

There must me much cooler places in India?
