Linux Mint (I’d recomment Debian edition, LMDE) is basically what you want to try out. I’ve set up a PC with it for my stepfather that hasn’t used Linux at all and he’s happy with it. It’s designed to be as newbie-friendly as possible. You won’t have more issues with it than you’ll already have using Windows.

Then if you feel unsatisfied with anything about it, you can go looking for other linux distributions (distros) because you have a general idea what’s happening.

I hope the internet is prepared for when VPNs will be targeted. A LOT of free access to the internet nowadays hinges on the use of VPNs and I have been dreading the day when corpos and politicians finally catch up to that fact for some years now. Remember when credit card companies removed themselves from Pornhub as a payment method after just one article from about exploiative material on the platform?

Just think about the consequences when you will only be able to subscribe to VPNs through bitcoin. I know, subscribing with your credit card isn’t the smartest move in regards to privacy, but it works for a lot of stuff that isn’t that dramatic (e. g. circumventing geoblocking).

I don’t think we’re that far away from the endgame for the free internet. Enshittification is just the first step. When that eventually doesn’t work out, they will come for VPNs and stuff like the fediverse.

Yeah it’s gone full-circle like the whole situation with streaming services becoming cable. Funny how the world works so similarly in different places.

It would work thousands of years off of one drop of League of Legends solo queue.

Maybe look into Garuda as an additional alternative to EndeavousOS and Manjaro. I’m using it on a gaming rog and haven’t had any significant issues regarding stability.

Whamen respected

That’s WB for you. Fucking up DC is their specialty.

Please tell us when you’ve tried it.

What I don’t get is the sissy sub fascists nowadays. The dumb fucks generally want to wage war with everybody and now that there are legitimate threats to their precious Vaterlands they are pacifists all of a sudden. I get it, they a funded largely by russia and china etc, but do they really think they won’t get shafted when the west collapses? Absolute omega farts.

Yeah Imma part with my Bionicles and Beyblades for the safety ranch.

The one rogue nuke hitting New Zealand would be a heavy hit to Peter Thiel and his buddies’ apocalypse plans as they continue to buy up the whole country.

Tactical dot, because I want to know, too.

Fuck anybody that goes against open standards.

pour red powder over the Declaration of Independence!

The Fediverse gives a whole new meaning to “The Importance of Being Ernest”.

Welp, I dunno.

Whoosh, that was not a serious suggestion. More on the noncredible side, as a fact.

Sniper rifle from the surface

I redacted every message into something shit-talking reddit and got the email, so that can’t be it.
