Well, it was nice being a ham while it lasted. I look forward to our frequencies being sold for a profit.

And don’t forget to actually test your backups once in a while. It doesn’t count if you can’t use it.

Same I just throw it in a desk at work. It’s encrypted anyway.

It can always be a weird self-extracting shell script.

I find you still have to fuss with partitions. There isn’t a simple wipe everything and install option. You have to manually select the partitions on the disk, delete them and create a new one which somehow triggers it to create several partitions.

There is an upgrade option.

And then they tell you they don’t want a Microsoft account and you have to look up what’s the current hack to get around that if possible.

That said, I think the Linux install experience is very clear about what it’s going to do.

What’s the difference?

To be fair, Windows wasn’t meant to be installed by the end user that often. It comes preinstalled.

I don’t need friends that are Windows users.

Chowning the libs.

I love weird antenna. My balcony itself is a surprisingly good radiator.

The software is arrogant and needs to know its place. It serves the user. It should obey.

Our computer.

Neutrino emissions detected!

Out of tree module taints kernel for a reason.

I believe it does take confirmation via the ENTER key.

There’s a project that automatically corrects common errors with your last command as well with the same name.

They say they’re the distribution for humans. Apparently, it is so!

I think it doesn’t occur to most people to even consider what OS to use on a computer. They just use the computer.

All the games I play regularly worked with zero configuration. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to tweak something to get a game running. Gaming on Linux is amazing these days.

However, there are a few popular games still broken. I don’t do online competitive, so this doesn’t impact me.

My Linux installs break all the time because I can’t leave well enough alone. It’s always been my own fault.
