I’m sure “she used windows” will hold up in court

Pro tip: you can turn the link into ddinstagram to embed on services like Discord and other ones with embeds. This way you don’t have to visit the site

In this case it’s useful to torrent Linux ISOs without leaking your IP

It’s also one of the few privacy-respecting VPNs that allow port forwarding

just don’t use technical drawings buildings were meant to be built not drawn, simple as.

printing is bad regardless of OS. Learn to draw and type very well and you will never need a printer, also curse everyone that forces you to use printers they should be shunned from society. We will have full digitalisation by bullying if necessary

just keep an eye on pirate forums or learn how to steal ig

nobody cares about Gen X

that’s not just young people that’s 80~90% of users

but also have you met boomers? Tech literacy as we knew never existed.

sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda of course

Yeah but how can you download without internet

I think it’s much simpler: people don’t know what they’re doing, while CEOs want to make more money so don’t do appropriate (expensive) practices.

I don’t think it’s the best theme tbh

first distro was Linux Mint as far as I remember, but the first distro after I actually learned why linux is good was ZorinOS

the only objective problem mint has is that it’s so good I struggle to get people I convinced to install it to be interested in other distros and stuff. And that’s fine.

Mint is a solid choice and the one I recommend to anyone who just wants something that works or doesn’t care about having several choices, and even when someone wants to explore more options I always include Mint. It just works, it’s easy to install that even my non-tech savvy mother on a phone call with me managed to install it and Cinnamon has just enough customization options ootb to make it yours without being overwhelming to a noob like KDE.

I personally don’t use it cause I am not the biggest fan of using GUIs, debian derivatives and I prefer KDE plasma so I just go with other options (currently Fedora 40, been using Arch and NixOS a lot before this), however even in my case I could most likely turn LM into what I want with some effort (I just don’t see the point in doing that), and my father who has been using Linux since Kernel 1.0 and is definitely a power user swears by it.

I memorized tar -cavf file.tar.bz2 directory/* and tar -xavf file.tar.bz2

yes the welsh and all other brits should stfu

I mean I don’t use nor ever plan on using BSD systems and disagree with their philosophy quite a bit but I think them dying is overall bad for the open source community.
