If I want to pay money, I’ll buy the DVD. If I just want it one time, I have ways and means.
Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.

Then whatever a modern OS is under your model is not an OS I’m willing to use. I’ve seen Win 11. I’m going to stick with 10, as I stuck with XP through Vista, had a second machine with 7 through 8(.x), and then surrendered and used Win10 when the 32-bit Win7 machine finally stopped working for love or money.
Mint has worked consistently for me on the PC it’s installed on.
Mint works like Windows and has a lot to offer any Windows 10 user who’s already using FOSS. And tbh Hypnotix alone justified the install of Mint for me. I got a great IPTV viewer, plus a PC that runs everything I want.
Note: I only regularly want Discord, Firefox, Endless Sky, OpenTTD, RetroArch, and LibreOffice. I’m sure everyone else has different goals.
I must be the odd one out - the slower pace of 2k3 fights better suits me.
The US government has regularly taken a dim view to groups referring to themselves as 3%ers. I don’t think that would change.
I’ve already shoveled twice this winter. I don’t mind less snow as I get older.
To go in reverse order: iOS & Android are related because they’re Linux/UNIX. They’re not CP/M based. As a result, my level of trust and respect are always near-zero.
I’m glad you have a different experience with GNOME, someone ought to. I guess it wouldn’t be the standard if no one could use it.
GNOME is explicitly what kept me exclusively on Windows for about a decade - and what made me gunshy about Android & iOS. It’s totally impossible to drive anything important, doing anything of value required a DOS prompt and arcane commands that had no relation to their exact counterpart in Windows, and it’s just utterly revolting to me.
Cinnamon is the only DE that made me feel comfortable daily driving Linux.
As someone who wanted to jump in with both feet on my journey to using more than just Windows & mobile OSes, I actually started from Arch. Well, sort of. If you have a beginner who wants to try Linux and actually wants to know the discomfort they’ll experience, give them Archbang.
It works on very basic hardware requirements, does very well as a live distro, and was honestly an important step in my personal journey that has ended me up in a place where I keep two systems - one with Windows 10, and a separate computer with Linux Mint.
Obviously, I’m not in the place many people are. But I just wanted to toss in my 2 cents. Arch itself is not for beginners. Archbang can be, especially if you have a user who’s open to a live distro and doesn’t want to try dual-booting yet (and only has one computer). I think that the project deserves more visibility and support than it gets.
That’s just New Jersey though.
Mbin (rip kbin) reminds me of TweetDeck and the like from back in the day, when I could monitor feeds across Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. That’s part of why I like it. It puts everything in one place.
I keep wanting to try Misskey, Sharkey, or Firefin. I like the concept but keep sticking to Mbin, Mastodon, and Threads.
Many who live deserve death. Many who have died deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be so eager to deal out death in judgment.
I’d put it in a box and drop it in a river.
Wait, how is losing my independent speakers and having an audio setup not instantly compatible with my CD player, VCR, and my Victrola an upgrade?
Oh. So it depends on your position on WPEngine instead.
So, communists in practice.
All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it’s Verizon.
Interesting. I really wonder how Ralph Nader is reacting to this. I can’t imagine he’d be very proud of this guy. Then again, he cut out of the party after his second run for a reason.
That is fair. But I’ve had more HDD failure than DVD disc rot so far. I prefer physical media which doesn’t require engaging my computer.
