I’ve been using Linux desktop as a daily driver for a little under 10 years now and I’m still discovering ways I could be doing things better. There isn’t some magic tutorial that somebody can give you here which will suddenly have you as competent with Linux as you are with Windows. Try things, break things, when things break, look into what you can do to fix them. Keep system snapshots and backups of your personal files so you don’t have any data loss if things go wrong. And snapshots are useful for unfucking a system that you’ve just fucked.

Sorry if you don’t want to hear this, but you kinda have to figure it out yourself. Thankfully, for specific issues and questions, there is a ton of material out there, and people are generally pretty happy to help.

Memes are so entertaining and funny on the memes community boy I love memes

Sh.itjust.works is not defederated from hexbear lol. I can speak from experience that they still show up everywhere.

Been using it exclusively for a couple years on all AMD. Not zero issues, but issues I’ve had are minor.

I mean, as a millennial, I mostly taught myself to type. I’m fast enough, but have bad technique and could be faster. I was only ever actually trained to type in grade school, and barely. Once in a while in computer class we would play an educational typing game.

My mom is much better at typing than I am, because she was trained to type in college. That’s not really a thing anymore.

They probably have good discovery and trending post mechanisms. Mastodon makes it a point not to have one, which results in a wholly uninteresting feed for the average user. I’m only on mastodon, but I very rarely use it, because it mostly sucks unless you spend several, several hours trying to track down fun accounts to follow yourself.

Both is good

Everyone’s shitting on him because people loathe lazy copy/paste paragraphs from chatGPT in their online discourse. Me included.

From what I understand, “whispers” were what private messages were called on twitch. And it’s “then existing,” I don’t use twitch, but I guess it doesn’t exist anymore, that’s what they mean. Pretty poor wording though, don’t blame you for not knowing what the hell they mean.

I hear that India is fun for parties and weddings, but also that it’s extremely dirty and a dangerous place to visit. I’m a man, but I especially wouldn’t want to be a white woman visiting, I’ve seen videos of how they’ll stare with no regard for how she feels - Indian men have a very poor reputation when it comes to how they act towards European/US women.

Okay?

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

Well gee wiz, I sure hope you’re ensuring any and all of your electricity is coming from renewable sources without emissions. That coal stuff is pretty nasty! Otherwise you’d be a bit of a hypocrite every time you posted something here, wouldn’t you?

Traveled across the US by bus?! Sorry, I’m not interested in the opinions of mass murderers. I weep for your victims. Somebody bring out the guillotine.

And that’s a “no” on the full-time job, then?

By the way, busses create greenhouse gasses. If we need to get carbon emissions to zero, and you take the bus, by your own logic, you are a murderer. Stew on that for a bit.

Bike trip would take weeks, bus trip several days, have you heard of the train system in the US? And if it’s across land, well, guess I can’t take a boat! Guess what that leaves?

What would you suggest in this case, o’ paragon of virtue?

Do you have a job? Is it feasible for you to ride your bike for weeks to get to commitments? Or are you, as the other commenter said, speaking from a very, very privileged position?

No shit, Sherlock. What are you actively doing to accomplish that?

This is you, by the way. Really helping the cause by being a toxic ass on the internet. What a visionary. I’m not taking responsibility for the structure of society that got rolling years and years before I was born. I’m also not going to cut ties with family and friends and ruin my own life for the sake of preventing the very, very little that I’m actually contributing to greenhouse gasses. Fucking cope, and find a new angle. You’ve got the wrong guy. You’re lucky I’m not the type to associate your behavior with all environmentalists. People seem to be agreeing with me that this misdirected virtuous hero act isn’t working for you.
