Nice! Sound like you’re on the right track, though might want to keep a live cd image on hand in case Windows decides to take over your boot options until you can finally squash it. xP

Try out some live boot disks then. Several flavors of linux will just boot up, and give you the option to install from within the booted OS. I forget which ones lwt you change things and basically treat them like normal, but some will even carry over any made changes right through the install (if you tell it to, anyways).

Then, you’ll just have to identify any critical applications you need and see if they run on linux, or have any viable alternatives that do, or worst case try to run the windows flavor through Wine or proton or so.

If you need stability above all, I’d recommend avoiding the bleeding edge distros or the young ones that are changing a lot. It sounds odd, but I’ve been digging MX Linux a lot, and I’ve tried a good few flavors over the years. It’s based on Debian Stable, so it’s repos won’t be the bleeding edge, but it has that classic Debian “Just Works” going for it. The only bugs I’ve had have been issues from Wayland that also affect other distros.

I dunno’ what the problem is. You cannot get syphilis if it’s just your piss hitting the toilet and surrounding area.

lol as if it was ever your money after you handed it over to corporations under capitalism… nono you absolute fool… that’s THEIR money now, regardless of whether it was a critical thing you needed to live.

rofl tell me you do not understand how FB got started without telling me…

That shit’s been a privacy nightmare from the beginning.

Zuck has been selling personal info from basically day 1. He’s been abusing people since day 1.

The day people realize convenience does not equal good is the day humanity grows up from a petulant child to a moronic teenager… Too bad it’s looking more and more like we’ll never make it past, “petulant child”.

“AI” has to be trained on something. They don’t want it to look too similar to the Iraq invasion, etc…

Some people do seem to confuse cognitive dissonance with being sick, and not that their fucking pathetic understanding of the world has just been challenged.

What isn’t psychosomatic when the target is the average fucking moron?

… I mean, besides all the things that turn out to be real… but morons will believe anything up to and including their mumbling jibberish is a connection to God with glossolalia…

Well just because they question why doesn’t mean an affluent person will arrive at an answer more than, “because I can”.

Don’t worry. At the rate we’re goíng, humanity will be long dead before “AI” is remotely sentient, let alone salty.

I don’t agree, at least on principle. Especially when such drugs are included. Pretense tends to melt away into motivating force, which may or may not be the driving mechanism behind someone’s behavior. With a strong enough psychedelic, even the densist dummy can begin to question why they do things.

Yea with a larger chance of a bad trip.

You know why: Easy money.

It’s the HOA Karens that run politics, so you do the math on how well that’d work out.

and what happens when a mod or admin abuses their power? If the answer is only people whine about it, all you have is a minor step in the right direction and not an actual solution.

Because this is hardly a contentious discussion or topic, and something doesn’t have to be a guarantee to never the less be a trend…?

I think we should test this theory a little more.

Nah, the complaints get deleted faster than the wrong-think. The point is you aren’t given enough to ‘notice’ when the hammer comes down as it does in many communities here.

lol

If you’re losing the battle of wisdom against a toddler, perhaps there is a reason to listen to that toddler…

You seem to not understand how anarchy works. It is not, “no rules and everyone is equal amd does what they want”. It’s, “nobody is given de facto authority over others with which they can cudgel their compatriots”. Not having de facto, unquestionable authority is a long ways away from, “there are no rules for society”.
