I wonder if I can get them to delete of the shit they took from my fucking comp already? I moved to Linux mint a short while ago and despite some minor limitations, I haven’t looked back since.

Linux mint for less than a month. Cut me some slack!

Exactly.

No. The original poster was an early soviet anti-drinking poster. One thing that people forget is that the USSR in its early days actually had alcohol prohibition. It was lifted under Stalin, however.

Alcoholism was just as big a problem in Tsarist Russia as it is in Russia today.

I was on windows 11 for a while before finally kicking it. Linux mint is my poison!

I was on windows 11 for a while. So long windows. Your ass is now grass that will feed a unicorn.

I have a question: I sadly still use my Gmail for many ‘official’ purposes and anything I need to pay to (I promise I will delete my Amazon account within the next year or so… especislly since those fuckers dont even let you archive or delete your own purchase history!), but I will need some access to my Gmail account. Anyway I can do this without giving Google everything?

I ran into that same issue. When case sensitive stuff hits for rhe first time.

Also I love linux’s cmd line. I grew up on MS-DOS and I feel like the computer hacker that I always dreamed I would be.

I am trying to install Private Internet Access (a VPN) on my laptop after transitioning to Linux mint on it and it won’t work. I downloaded the Linux version of the file from the site.

I will get the actual message later once I boot it back up.

This weekend I am fully ready to install Linux mint on my desktop.

I already transitioned my laptop to Linux mint snd I got no regrets. My VPN isnt installing on it, but i can manage it later.

This weekend…desktop time. I spent a lot of time making backups and making sure everything is in order. I’ll report on this very thread when I have done it.

I see it’s been a while since we met, would like me to show you a slide show of my Ozarks vacation in 2003?

Dear God…

Kindly do not remind me of that…

I might have to steal it for a novel.

If there is anything about the 90s that I always found fun is just how everyone and everything anticipated the year 2000.

Lost in space took place in 1999!

It is weird, and I am not sure why it works or not. I noticed it years ago and I only remembered when my attempts were frustrated this time. I wish I knew what caused it or not. Basically what happens is when you try to boot from the USB, it shows the menu and all that, but it just doesn’t proceed. Like when I used my cheap-ass USB that I got from a dollar store (they no longer sell USBs there) it stalled at the linux mint start up logo. I gave it all the time it needed, but it just froze. When I used my brand new fancy Sandisk, it only took a few seconds to move past it. I will be using THAT USB for my desktop, but I have some backups to make before doing so.

And yes, I am writing this comment from my linux mint laptop. I finally will have more privacy on my comp.

I just installed Linux mint on my laptop… and fuck me, it is easy as all hell to use. Made me wonder why the hell I took so long to do it! I’m doing some backups on my desktop in order not to lose anything important (and save time) while installing it on my PC… I intend to format my old drive as I move on. So-long Windows!

SUCCESS!

As of writing this comment, I have installed Linux Mint (cinnamon, latest version) on my laptop. I am in the process of updating stuff and figuring stuff out. I will need to make sure I can play all my games and do all the stuff I do before moving onto the big one: My ultra fancy desktop machine that I paid thousands upon thousands of dollars for.

The problem was the USB. A long time ago I had issues with my computer and I needed to reinstall windows from a USB drive. I learned that you can’t use any old USB and it has to be a decent USB. I ordered a new one (not expensive. It was very cheap, but it was a Sandisk) and it worked brilliantly. Now it is time to actually learn to use it properly!

I tried. I had a problem. It wouldn’t boot from my flash drive. I remember having a problem to similar to this previously… I might need a new flash drive…

Edit: long answer… I am actually hauling my ass to do it now.
