Socky Noob (Check Pinned)

It's so damn good, I still accidentally add "archwiki" to google searches not related to anything computer, because my muscles have started to think it's the best chance of giving me the correct way to do things universally. 100 youtube videos on mdadm couldn't do what 4 minutes of archwiki did.

Trump really should have followed through on his threat to lock her up.

Getting blocked by liberals means you're doing something right

Got blocked by 60 people

Look in the replies and tell me how much liberals care about the Epstein files

Why is everyone talking about her like she isn’t willingly married to a pedophile

Bloomberg headline: Bill Clinton tells House panel he wasn't aware of Epstein crimes

Sure, Jan

Bill Clinton is also a pedophile

Fuck every one of 'em

Bill Clinton Epstein files

💀💀💀

"Our side" murders children and impoverishes so-called "third world countries" despite these countries actually being super rich in natural resources.

I don't root for any side in a war. If you do, you root for nothing but death and destruction. I dont view war as a team sport

Fuck war and fuck warmongers.

I grew up on the pinetree line radar stations during the cold war. We actually had at one point pamphlets of what to expect during a nuclear attack. My dad is the one who told me to stay away from military life. It is not a glamorous way of life. You are not heroes. You are tools for powerful men.

The only reason Trump started a war with Iran because he is desperate to get the American Peoples’ attention off of the Epstein Files

Trump has set off a catastrophic process that will injure & kill thousands of people, bankrupt the United States, & dramatically end our role as a global superpower

YouTube video by Hank Green Why Was Every President Born in the Same Year?

This made me recall @hankgreen.bsky.social’s video on this very topic! youtu.be/IwgzuSqb7ys?...

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Linux is easy peasy nowadays

The ArchWiki is god-tier

ArchWiki is useful for most distros thankfully. Helped me even as a Fedora user.

My experience with Mint and, because I am a sicko gamer, Bazzite (my main OS) was making install media on a USB drive, booting into that drive like you would with any OS install, and installing it. That's it. I didn't have to do anything else

It's built around Steam, it's a SteamOS clone. You can run other platforms from the desktop side or make shortcuts to their games to run through Proton, the translation layer that makes Windows games work under Linux. Steam handles that automatically.

That's literally the entire point of Bazzite. A SteamOS clone

Yep. Linux Mint is really easy to download and install and use. I set my Mum up with it last year because her PC wouldn't run Windows 11. She has absolutely no problems using it at all, has never needed to do anything with a command line. LibreOffice meets her admin needs. Her printer Just Works

You don't need to deal with any coding, not even the terminal for many distros. Even if select few steps did require a few commands on the terminal, it's very easy to learn. Rule of the thumb: never copy-paste commands from the Internet that you don't fully understand.

my stupid fucking network printer that always throws an error when I try to print through windows just works with Ubuntu. I didn't even need to download a driver it's just there, available, ready to print

i tried to install ubuntu 15 years ago when i was 15 and i was so clueless im so glad this has now been made for morons like me

I installed Linux for the first time in like 5 years the other day and was surprised by how painless the process has become. I was going into the command line because I wanted to, not because I needed to

My 60 year old mom uses ubuntu, the learning curve is not what it used to be.

Windows is not a product for home, consumer, small environment users. If you’re that type of user, then 100% you should use Linux or a Mac.

yeah same, this is the thing that pushed me over the (microsoft) edge. i'm sick of bloatware and everything getting worse with every update. i heard Linux mint is fairly simple

Yesss! Linux is the place to be.
Windows and Mac are our enemy.
