Correct, it’s because the government found a cash cow with trucking companies. If I recall something like 80% of diesel cost is tax. Truckers pay for our roads and bridges, to a point.

Yeah exactly or they just say we are trying to be superior and annoying tech autists xD

Thats the thing…there’s no way ill convince people to get off discord now that they just got comfortable with it all.

Tbf if you play games like pubg or bf1 bf5 etc , you need windows. Otherwise, windows would not really be needed at all.

Don’t you mean the mario kart adapter?

Yep

Yeah it’s dumb. American thing only I think

I’m planning to go Arch on my secondary that had popos on it. I’ve only used mint and Ubuntu before.

I love tuxcart but I can never find anyone else playing? Is the player base just that small?

It depends a lot on your hardware. All of my stuff was picked up instantly (all AMD), my kb/mouse/tartarus of course, and my Logitech wheel. Now if you mean VR, linux struggles with that right now at least for oculus. The vive is ok with steam only games I heard.

I treat it a lot like an old car. I love it and tinkering on it is fun, but if an emergency pops up and I have to, I can reboot into windows. Really trying to never have to do that, except for VR and games like PUBG (which yeah we shouldn’t support but my friends and I still like it sometimes).

If you’re the type that craves learning and the journey is more fun than the goal (ie, me), then do it! I just put mint and popos on 3 different computers and have been having a lot of fun with it.

Isn’t it fun? It’s like owning your car and learning what everything actually does, and figuring out how to fix it. And having an amazing community to boot!. I enjoy it.

I’ve never thought of that. I can’t fathom doing all my fun stuff before work instead of after. Interesting !

6 hours ?? Don’t we all need more than 11? Guess I’m abnormal, ha

You must not work 8-5… I need my long nights to get revenge on how much of my day was spent working

Doesn’t gnome have that sticky app?

I’m still gonna have to dual boot for the foreseeable future, but I force myself to usually boot mint unless I want to play any vr/multiplayer/racing games (which is often, unfortunately). But I do really enjoy how much you can do in linux and learning it.

By design. Soon ms won’t allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

Can confirm. Made many sparkler/aerosol can boom.booms

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can’t imagine remembering them all otherwise… and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.
