Oddly enough it works just as well to do so silently.

You say

"rude"

when you really mean

"need to be told to shut the fuck up every time it happens until it stops".

Yeah, it's pretty crazy a "linux_memes" community is posting linux memes. /s

Apple's MacOS is based on BSD. Does that count?

That's awesome!! I have proton too, that's good news to me ^^

Everything has been a learning experience so far, but not a painful one! I feel longer I'm learning things about computers that I should've learned ten years ago.

Nahhh

Lmao. I'm actually pretty good about just playing the story content and moving on now. I pretty much treat it as a single player game. Got too much goin on in the real world to play an mmo seriously.

I just kinda see D2 as a turning point. Once they make the shift, lots of other things will probably work too.

you should block "linux_memes" community if you don't want to play wack a mole

I think I’m going to do this soon too but maybe with bazzite

Ah yes, the "you're not owned anything" condescending comment when I'm talking about the overall state of Linux being unfriendly to newcomers and being unproductive to its goals. You know, the very definition of stupid. Seriously, the snotty replies alone make one rather pay up MS and get my work done in peace than deal with snotty assholes.

I don't ever want to hear you say anything about Linux struggling with user adoption because I'll be linking you right back to this thread and holding you up as an example as to why that may be.

If the community really wants us to switch, it needs to iron out all this garbage at the front door

not sure which one of us is more entitled, the "community" doesn't owe you anything

Assuming you're behind a NAT like just about everyone is these days, probably very little.

Only TLS 1.0 works unless you install extras, so you'd be unable to load some sites. Microsoft in particular have turned it off, so you'll have trouble getting anything from them. The likes of Google and Facebook have it enabled still. It might be enabled for the update channels, but I don't have a box on hand to test.

Going off road might earn you a browser vuln from a dodgy video hosting site, since most browsers stopped getting updates a while ago.

Honestly your biggest problem is that machines still on XP are as old as the hills and about as quick. A modern website will bring a Pentium 4 to it's knees.

Honestly, you'll be better off getting into linux now than any previous years. It's pretty easy and practical these days especially with the push into the Steam Deck. It's pretty much plug(install)-and-play with most systems, there's only a few outliers like custom pc's and a small amount of games that will give you any sort of problems.

I run one windows, one mac, and like 5 linux machines. If you stick with the more popular linux distributions like debian you won't run into weird problems. It's only surfing weird distro's like elementary and pop OS that I've had to do further troubleshooting on.

I switched to Mint about 2 years ago just to try it out for a friend who wanted to switch from windows who wasn't very tech savvy. Once I got everything set up I realized I liked it pretty well, it played all the games I wanted to play, and it ran all the programs I wanted to run through wine so why was I using Windows?

I got a new computer and just migrated the hard drive on over, and this worked but it did create some problems and it ran slowly at times, so I did a clean install a few months ago. I decided to try out Ubuntu and really did not enjoy it at all. I had to redo so much of the UI to make it how I wanted it to be that I eventually just gave up and switched back to Mint, but the latest version this time. It's been great, very few problems and runs a lot better than the version I had that was running on my old laptop first. Hell, some gaming experiences are better through proton than they are on Windows native weirdly.

Completely obliterate Windows from project laptop Mint and Ubuntu installations go smoothly Both OSs will run just fine for about 30 minutes before freezing Even when I leave it alone and don't have anything running

I won't let this break me, I still have images for Fedora, KDE, OpenSUSE, and Manjaro. Even if we end up running Zorin, we're going to get this right.

What happens when you connect win xp to the net nowadays? Genuine question.

Mate, there's people out there still on XP.

The "end of 10" will be people breathing a sigh of relief that they don't come back to their PC to find it's done a sneaky reboot while they were on lunch.

Im noticing that myself, thank you.

Thanks, I'll try that if I fucking care at this point lmao. Windows has beaten me down lol

I'm thinking that you used "akschuelly" to make this a joke? It hasn't really worked.

I just recode it back into wav and md5sum it.

welcome to the fun side of computing :3
