and to my surprise everything seems good! (knock on wood)
After a few aborted attempts to switch to Linux, over the years, that has been exactly the vibe of my latest journey.
"So this all just works now?" has been my repeated surprised thought.
Standard disclaimer: I don't have any hardware by Nvidia. Not by choice, I was just feeling broke when Nvidia got hot.
Couldn't you also make a throwaway ms account?
I could, but them I'm up a creek later if I need to use any recovery functionality, as it all ties back to that MS cloud account.
It's certainly possible to get working, disable all of the cloud saves and telemetry, and then just save the MS account in a password vault for later.
But all of that is much more work than clicking "next" a few times in the Linux Mint installer. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
1993 called and wants the inferior FOSS software you last tried back. Haha.
I find that Linux apps for basic stuff are now well ahead of their Windows counterparts.
It's getting hard to find quality free software that is Windows native, and not just a recompile of a Mac or Linux tool.
I'm happy to pay for software too, but the paid stuff has all been shit, for awhile, in my weird experiences. (Weird, in that I'm not doing music or video editing or non-developer power user stuff. I've heard mileage may vary with those.)
It feels like everything is vibe coded, now.
I need to start a vintage software hobby.
Ensign is a perfectly cromulent rank to achieve during a Starfleet career.
I find that con artists don't like to communicate slowly. It makes them uncomfortable.
Asking the real critical question.
Pre-beard, I only give them one episode.
We've nearly outlined the plot to a season of Picard at this point.
Now we just need a motive - say Beverly Crusher is asking nicely from a deep space in distress...
Oof. Hopefully a security professional will slap some sense into someone before it gets out of beta.
Should have pulled the blue lever harder. Pulling the blue lever also slows the trolley down sometimes, at least locally, for some of the people tied to the tracks.
That's particularly good.
