He’d go far in the current political climate.

There can only be one!

I got a new laptop with Windows 11 at work yesterday. This is the first time I’ve used 11. I must say, it’s not really that bad. Once you cut out all the enshittification, which our IT department does, it’s pretty decent. I would never dream of putting it in any of my own machines, of course.

Mint is the easy and safe choice and works fine for anyone who just wants to use their computer with minimal fuss.

Next step could be installing it in a virtual machine. Dual booting can be a pain in the ass due to Windows not playing nice.

Welcome to education in 2025.

There is never a good time to change things. You just have to start somewhere. And I’m not saying everybody should do it right now. But the more people do it the quicker we build critical mass.

If you don’t understand how an MRI machine works you better not get medical care!

Accusing other people of dumb takes and spewing out a zinger like this does not require any more comment.

Just because you had a bad experiences doesn’t mean everyone will have. And Manjaro is about the dumbest distro to choose if you want a smooth experience. None of the things you describe are typical experiences. And of course Windows never has technical problems.

So basically, if you’re sawing trees with a blunt saw and somebody suggests sharpening the saw, you’ll say “I can’t, I got trees to cut!”?

But… but… then you’d have to think about what you’re doing and *gasp* develop a basic understanding of the technology that runs your life! Who has time for that nerd shit?

You can absolutely use Mint as a live system.

I have committed the grave sin of spelling the name of the Dear Leader wrong. I’ll report to the nearest reeducation camp as soon as possible.

Where can I buy a Mac in a PC case with RGB? Not that I would, I’m just curious.

What would you suggest? Something by Xi Xinping?

The machine must keep running!

I’m afraid I’m going to have to deduct one style point for the misalignment of the labels on the mini PCs.

They all are.

Uh huh. So we’re at the “it wasn’t that bad” stage.

That’s not the point. If you think CNN&Co. are left, I have news for you.
