  1. Grab Ubuntu - super easy for new Linux users.
  2. install next to windows. Don’t replace it.

Just get a feel and poke around.

The moment one of those Linux users see that I said Ubuntu they’re going to froth at the mouth and lose their entire minds. It’s like their identity is tied to only using the most obscure, unpopular nonsense.

It’s easy enough - and the Snap store (app) is good enough for what you’d need. Its not the best in some situations, but if you’re not doing anything crazy and you just want to search web or whatever without all the surveillance and copilot slop being forced onto you - it’s a good start.

It’s a learning curve, but it’s not bad. I use Libre Office instead of MS Office now. Shortcuts and interface still fucks with me after growing up with MS Office products.

I dual boot Linux and windows on both my machines. When I game - I boot up windows. When I do anything else, I boot up Linux.

    lol it’s funny how you guys pick and choose what’s relevant based on a personal idea.

    If the bible can be nitpicked so much, it clearly isn’t a source of truth for the divine.

    “I came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.”

    Also being a Jew - Jesus’ teachings would have been added on top of all the genocidal, self-victimization of the Old Testament Jews.

    Even beyond this:

    Coca-cola and Walmart had a secret inside deal. Nobody could sell coke products for less than Walmart.

    When they find out smaller grocery stores are undercutting Walmart to drive traffic, the wholesaler/distributor will go into those smaller chains and force them to pay even higher wholesale prices to force them to raise their prices.

    Walmart gets bulk discounts nobody else on the planet receives, then games the market to hedge themselves against everyone else - not setting a fair market price floor, but rather a price ceiling.

    They get to be the lowest priced, everyone else the highest.

    Every fucking day it’s anothe democrat texting me, begging me for more money I don’t have.

    I don’t have $5 you fucks. You stole it when you raised my taxes, gave me shit, and then bailed out more billionaire cronies.
