This is the way. I always recommend people to get their feet wet with the live boot. I’ve been using Linux for almost 3 decades. Live boot is the easiest way to find out what will work for you. I’m not a Mint user, but it’s great for the people who like it; best part about FOSS.

Hilarious that’s still a thing. Back in the late 90’s and early 00’s, I had a buddy that would format and reinstall Windows and all his games and applications religiously, once a month. Seems like something would have done about this after all these years.

Pretty sure, it’s a Gnome Shell extension for active workspaces.

Well, it’s not wrong.

This is correct.

Same. I still feel like I should be parking the heads on my 10mb hard drive. Honestly at this point, I’m too embarased to ask if there is a proper way to send my servers for a reboot, and I cross my fingers I can log back in.

Because they took time to make something from scratch with ingredients. i.e. Cooking. linux ricing started with only Window Managers and occasionally you get someone that modifies a DE. These people start from scratch to build their perfect environment. They aren’t doing after market modifications. They literally pick the components they want and put it all together, write all the configs. Hence, Cooking.

Linux Ricing

A cooking term dude. Pull your head out of your ass.

Brave on GrapheneOS works great. Worth a download.

Agreed. Worth it, when you need it. I get the sentiments of your post though; we’re not trying to fit a kernel on a 1.44MB boot disc anymore.

Yes.

Bruh, I’m ded.

It’s probably your mom.

Is this what peak performance looks like?

Naa, it’s not a bug. The Steam Hardware and Software survey is a random sampling of machines. Sometimes it’s just an over sampling in some demographic. It seems to happen occasionally. I’m sure there will likely be a pull back as per usual. But, I think it will be more in the low to mid 4%. I think the network affect is finally kicking in. Always good to see YoY growth, so no complaints.

Where is the lie?

Get fucked, that’s my age.

I put my machine to sleep usually. Only reboot/shutdown for rare cases, rearranging my office, that sort of thing.

Open source Windows obviously. https://reactos.org/

All these recent Windows to Linux converts, whining about how Linux should be more like Windows, should be going to ReactOS. They want open source Windows, not open source Unix.

I’m aware. I said, “basis”, not “uses”.
