I see. So nothing to worry about I guess. Thanks.

Isn’t AMD’s proprietary drivers horrible on Linux too? Anyway, I can set the clocks to highest on LACT, but for some reason Furmark still shows 875 MHz (3.5 Gbps).

Current shovel prices are “abnormally high”

Installing both into different drives should suffice. Though note that, even if it’s EOL Windows 10 still gets small updates for now. By the way have you tried Winboat? It’s not 100% foolproof but I had better chances of running Windows-only software with it.

Hey, my home server netbook can play jet_plane_taking_off.opus.

Yo man, you cannot run this app just to see the website without letting us to see your call history first.

And their apps refuse to run on custom ROMs or an unlocked bootloader.

For some reason, the thumbnail looks like a dinosaur skull.

Love the kittens btw. :)

To be fair, testing in a VM is for seeing the basic fundamentals of the OS. Ok, let me try to help with a couple of things then.

For finding you distro:

1. Find your favourite environment. Is it GNOME, is it KDE, Cinnamon, maybe it’s Xmonad or dwm? There are a lot of these and you should test this first. Distro doesn’t really matter in this step. Just find one with the desired environment and test it in a VM.
2. Once you find your perfect environment, find out if you want a really stable system or something cutting edge? Maybe something balanced in between. Distro still doesn’t matter in this step. Once you decide what you want, now you can find distros that suit this.
3. Choose you favourite init system (Optional). Some people like to control what’s under the hood. Just note that, not choosing systemd will filter a lot of distros here. If you don’t care what’s under the hood, skip this step.
4. Now you have narrowed down to possibly 3-10 distros. Still a lot. However this step is where you choose your favourite package manager. If you don’t care about the mechanism, just pick one you liked from the default installations of them. If you are using Linux for some time, you might already have a favourite package manager.
5. Congratulations, you have found your distro. Just use it and see for yourself.
6. Wait, it might still not be the correct one. However you cannot know this without using them daily. Some people stay with what distro they start, some people distrohop a lot and settle on Debian. And some other love their niche distro that works nicely for them. Stay with what really clicks with you.

Why don’t you try distros in a virtual machine first?

Then Sway might be a better fit for you. Though I definitely recommend Niri, since it’s a fresh look for tiling WMs.

Sway is also nice if you prefer more traditional tiling WM.

I’m not a greybeard ^(yet) but xbps-src would like to have a word.

Also, Debian is bad for cognitive abilities since if you use it long enough you forget how to configure things. /j

I suggest Void Linux and putting Niri + noctalia-shell on it.

I actually like systemd-boot more than GRUB. I see it for 1 second, so I really don’t see the point of theming a bootloader but this is the world of freedom. Any preference is welcome.

“or you go to jail”

Technically it’s a pop-up. You cannot use the window behind when that’s open. If you try to carry the pop-up, it will also carry the main window.

To be fair that’s an improvement over his previous photos where he looks like an alpha version.

Nöpe! Just makes me hungry. -_-

My initial reason was computation freedom. It got so much better in years, I just take the rest as a great bonus.
