People also have the memory of a fucking brain dead goldfish, and don’t even have the mental capacity to realize that Trump’s tax plan is what we are currently under, and have been under, since Biden took office.

Gotta hoover up all that typing data, am I right?

😒

Unfortunately, the stock one will be the only one with even a sliver of privacy preserving measures (so far). I tried Swiftkey when it first got released on iOS, and not only did it just not feel right like the stock one, it was also bought by Microsoft at that point and I hadn’t known since the last time I was on Android, they did not own it. :/

If you do find one though, let me know! I love trying out new things!

Don’t use Microsoft’s version. Use Vscodium! :)

Haha! I had forgotten about the emoji. He’s such a fucking loser.

It’s how Elongated Muskrat spreads his dumbass conspiracy theories.

Elongated Muskrat posts an obviously fake picture of something that dumbasses will latch on to with no second thought “Concerning” or “This needs to be looked at”

For general gaming for sure! Retro gaming is even better on Linux! I am one of those that loves modding their games though, and the tools aren’t there just yet. With Nexus beginning beta for Linux support, I am hopeful that I will be able to switch over soon enough. :)

Windows has had winget for a while now. While not as good as Linux version, I think it’s fine enough for those who must still use Windows for their gaming. 🤔

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

I understand the retaliatory bullshit would definitely scare more people than we should allow. Say your entire department decides “Fuck that. I’m taking my two days off.”, what would that do as a whole? Would they retaliate on all the people or just the ones who they know need a job more than others?

I’m not dumb and think that that’s even possible, because organizing is a lot harder than we’d all like to admit. I’m just genuinely curious about how that would work out long term I guess.

You don’t have to reply or anything, and I hope I’m not coming off any type of way. I just can’t believe this is something they thought was a good idea.

Thank you! :)

Hi. I just want to ask what happens if you choose to not work that extra day? I’m assuming you might get fired?

If that is the case, when they fire you, they lose even more work force, which will just make whatever this is even worse, right?

With how predatory the “dating” market apps are, I think something like this would be wonderful to use to find friends or love in a way that doesn’t prey upon loneliness. Kudos to the devs, and I hope to see this project get wildly popular. No one deserves to have their loneliness taken advantage of.

What I truly don’t understand is why the negative eggs that you WILL ALWAYS HAVE NO MATTER WHAT, read it again, ALWAYS HAVE NO MATTER WHAT, gets so much mental attention than the many more people who are actively applauding you and saying their thanks and giving you their praises.

I will never understand the focusing on the negative I guess. It’d be easy as fuck for me to ignore people’s assholeishness while still taking their badly typed criticism and improving (if I reasonably can).

Shit, it makes me feel like the fucking champ when some random persons says thanks for something I did, and I laugh and ignore the ones who don’t like what I do.

But hey, if focusing on the few negatives instead of the mountains of praise is what you want to do, it’s all yours.

Browsing the mechanical keyboard sub, the buy it for life sub, and any other subs like that was amazing and such a deep rabbit hole for the first time!

I recently switched to Debian KDE earlier this year, and have found my forever distro. It’s been rock solid, with some of the best battery life I’ve ever gotten from my clunker 2017 laptop. No weird install instructions, no problems getting Bluetooth/wifi going, and easily accepted my OVPN profile and never fails when I try to use it. Fantastic OS. 😁

Thank you for the further explanation! I was able to see from the above that it may not be an OS for a casual Linux user like myself, but I think it is awesome for someone who wants to tinker to their hearts desire and make their system their own!

Thank you so very much for your review. It helped me understand it a lot more than their webpage did! I’m a casual when it comes to Linux in that I just want to set it up, and never touch it again unless I get bored or have to. This sounds like a tinkerer’s dream OS, and that is awesome in itself. It’s just more technical than I have the time for right now.

I’m using Debian right now, and it has been the most stable, and battery efficient distro I’ve used on my laptop. I see NixOS a lot on here, and went to look it up. I couldn’t discern really what makes it good, so may I ask for your “review” of it compared to Debian?

I have had some problem with some Distros not appreciating Windows being installed first, and some distros require more hoops to be jumped through to get it working than others, but dual booting is worth it in my use case and therefore is a requirement to even have Linux on the laptop to begin with. I love it to bits, but I bought the laptop to game!

I’d go as far as to say it’s… MINTy fresh!

I dual boot Pop with KDE and Windows 11 on my laptop while trying to use the Pop side more. I need the Windows side for playing games when traveling so I can’t fully integrate into Linux just yet. No problem at all, and I hope you’ll be able to sudo apt yourself into the perfect distro just for you!

There are a few Linux distros I can recommend as someone who started doing this as a little tinker project when I was younger.

Pop_OS! Is a really great basic setup to help usher you into Linux. I installed the KDE desktop environment onto my install because I really like and enjoy the KDE experience. You have plenty of other Ubuntu “flavors” to choose from. I’d recommend giving them all a whirl or look and decide which one you think is the best fit for you.

ElementaryOS is great if you want a semi-MacOS experience but I feel it is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to tinker around too much or for family members to use on their 10 year old laptops/desktops.

I also recommend not fully setting your Linux side up (email, saving documents, etc.) until you get done with your testing different distros out. You’ll be thankful you didn’t go through the full setup process if you decide to try a new distro out. Have fun, and remember it’s all a learning experience. Don’t be afraid to ask for question or look anything up. If you finally find a distro you want to make permanent and remember me, I’d love to hear what you settled on. Have a wonderful rest of your day. And enjoy your newfound freedom! 😌
