I grew to love Linux because I was hating Windows, I don’t hate Windows because I love Linux. And I don’t want to hate Windows, I wish they were slowly becoming anti-user, but they keep adding (forcing) features that are so unfriendly to the user.
Yes. If Windows was still like Windows XP, I don’t know if I would have ever switched. It used to be fun, not soul sucking.
There’s lots of other reasons I’m glad I switched, of course.
I find the windows update and Linux graphical updater processes identical. They only diverge at the end when the Windows one fails with a mysterious error message and offers to retry or open a troubleshooter that won’t work.
Windows arguably is, indeed, two or three different systems stapled together. There’s the C code kernal bits, the .Net runtime higher level bits, and the Electron “this didn’t need to be fast anyway and we only knew how to write JavaScript” bits.
until it came time to install new software.
That is the big giveaway. I used the term “It’s free” too many times when setting up software for them. “I used to have to pay for all of that.”
I always hard code IPv4 addresses. Load balancing and DNS resolution are an admission of weakness.
(This is sarcasm. WTF Steam?)
Pen and paper is great for whenever I can’t get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.
This is the way.
I’m forced to assume that you are now surprisingly attractive, as well. That’s the way out goes with the person I never noticed in school.
Of course, part of it might be that my definition of attractive grew up to be a lot healthier than it was when I was a kid.
Oh!
As they say, them who laugh lasts, probably needed a minute to think about it. Today, that was me.
Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.
It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.
Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.
If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.
Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
True. But I’ve had some great friendships grow after years of just “hi” in passing. We weren’t friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be buying one at the first opportunity.
My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of “it’s just Jack Black, I guess”.
(No sarcasm. I’m really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing “Jack Black”.)
We are well on our way.
I was confused before I made the switch. So many of the most useful kinds of apps weren’t maintained anymore by anyone on the Google Play store. I had this surreal feeling that the app ecosystem was getting worse every year.
And then I installed F-Droid and figured out where all of my favorite app developers went. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
