Wanting to be able to walk?

Also the kids mom (my co-parent) is now on Aurora which is basically the same as Bazzite just less gamer centric. Both are really slick modern Linux experiences so far imho.

Check out Aurora for all your friends and family members you want something really awesome, low maintenance and pretty indestructible for. We’ve not used it for long but it seems really fantastic. Like the distro I would dream up for mainstream (desktop non gamer) users. Or Bazzite if they are gamers. Easy!

That’s three less Windows machines I’m responsible for… whoopee! (Mom was previously using Mint.)

2026 is the year of the Linux desktop! ;-) ;-) ;-)

I’m sticking with LMDE myself because it’s been perfect for me for 15 years already.

Cope alot.

It’s fuckin great, my kids are using it!

Bitwig on Linux is amazing and was the final thing which let me ditch Windows for good after years of using Linux for everything else.

You won’t regret it!

Who wants a computer which might not work after an upgrade and not because there’s an actual problem but because a corporation says no? It’s more stress and more work out of nowhere. Corporations should never be allowed to brick devices, but since they are, I choose “not corporation” as my permanent fix. It’s a good move!

With Linux systems we never(?) have to deal with defaults decided by the profit motive. The computer might not instantly do everything I want but I don’t have to fight a multinational corporation as part of the solution. That’s what swung it permanently for me. I’m not in corporate IT but as a fixer of hundreds of people’s personal computers over decades, Windows is horrific and nowadays I have started just refusing to become responsible for trying to sort it out, even for pay.

Plot twist: It’s a trick, both rooms are full of wasps!

Fuck Musk and Fuck Swasticars!

There’s no excuse left for driving one except having bought it before this year.

Buying Tesla is funding fascism and corruption. All Musk companies need breaking up!
