scream in John Malkovich’s voice:

“FUCK MICROSOFT”

On the flip side, please keep digging yourself in a hole, Microsoft. More incentive to join Linux for us users.

Is the opportunity “once in a lifetime” or can you find alternatives like Europe? Tbh things are too fucked up now, even I am afraid to travel there a few weeks to visit.

Wasnt a Republican controlled house propose the one who propose the 22nd ammendment? So after FDR won the 3rd term?

It’s laughable now how a Republicunt President would want to go around this.

CLI partioning tools are fine, just print the layout before finalizing the changes to make sure.

You know what is scary? Back in like 2009, the graphic drivers are not well supported and so you rum into weird glitches even during a live environment. For my particular case, a live Ubuntu install couldnt display the check boxes correctly. These checkboxes are pretty darn important:

• where you want to install

• do you want to delete your existing partitions? Very bad if you dual boot. …etc…

Cant see shit due to gliches so i just YOLO and hope for the best.

At first, I thought it was 3 point 521 percent because we use “comma” for decimal points and “period” for thousand separators.

Nvm it is over 3000 percents !! Might as try 9999 % and make a meme out of it.

FFS which world lines are we on?

Let’s see if you could make it till 88, Marge.

You literally kill/xkill/killall the program.

Thanks everyone for replying. Looks like I wasnt clear on the OP: these drivers literally have their left hand (for left handed traffic) the entire duration of the turn - it almost seems like if they let the signal to “tick” for more than 1 second then a bomb would explode or something. And they always commit to the turn, the signal is just a façade. So the correct sequence is like this:

1. Signal on AND commit to turn at the same time. No delay. Thats why I mentioned these guys dont even look.
2. Car not fully into the other lane => signal off.

Everything takes place in 0.5 second. Or you blink and he’s gone.

Regarding the autocancel signal, yeh I do know about that. On old cars like the 2016 Corrola - you flick the signal, it stays flicked until you flicked it off or finish a turn. On new ones like Mini Cooper / BMW, a gentle flick would signal for 3 sec then automatically turn off. This is something different lol.

Either you use it or you dont. It is good to use it though, make it a good habit. Plus, I want to announce to those around me especially when I am backing up into a garage: I am here, do not stand in my way. If you dont use it, obviously you can cause accidents.

That being said, there is a 3rd group who I absolutely fucking despised:

Those who use it just to show the cops or whoever the fuck around that “look, I use blinkers”

When changing lane or enter a turn, uually this type of driver will go Click-Turn-Click. No head movements whatsoever. Also turning the signal off immediately like the sound of it can cause them brain cancer or something.

PROTO N MAN

the simplest answer would be: just try them all by yourself and see which one fits. Try only the popular ones btw, otherwise you’d have a hard time finding supports.

Word of advice: dont mind the aesthetics, but pay attention to stuff like package managers / packages and community. Here is what I meant:

• Unless you have special flavor from a distro like XFCE from Manjaro, any Linux distro can be made pretty. I can have Debian 12 on one computer and something like Arch on another, and I can still make both look exactly the same. So dont choose a distro just because it looks pretty, you can do that with any of them.

• Packages and package managers are so important, those are how you get software on Linux. Debian has a lot of softwares in its repos. Arch’s main repos do not have as much, but its AUR repos allow a lot of softwares to be installed.

Do you like apt, the manager for Ubuntu/Debian? Or do you prefer dnf, the manager for Fedora and RHEL? Package managers are more of a style really. I like Fedora’s dnf but Arch’s pacman is way faster.

• Community is also important. You dont want to pick a distro where only a handful of ppl use it. It would be very difficult to get supports. Ubuntu / Mint / Debians are so popular that you can get answers from any forum.

Good ! Good !

I see I have inspired an apprentice: https://lemmy.world/comment/15349991

The only thing missing now is to ditch the desktop environment and run EXWM. Or just run emacs from tty.

oh LibreOffice works great for me in general. Only for some documents with macros that were created in MS Office, I have problems running them. Eg: I once received a MS Word document that has some preprogrammed drop down list - so you click to extend the list and choose your items. The document opens fine, but I couldnt get the drop down feature to work. For Excel, documents with lots of VBA codes, I need to go in and do some manual changes.

In general, for 99% of the tasks, LibreOffice is fine. But it is that 1% which makes me still open up my Windows VM for MS Office.

After their shenanigan with subscription only models, we still see MS Office being used a lot. It shows how strong MS grips on the Office area is.

You are correct that 365 is used for most people. I used to use it too…For me, I prefer to be able to access stuff whenever I want. I live in an area with very shitty internet (both Wifi and 4G). Once, a client and I had to wait 5 minutes because Office Online takes too long to load up a spreadsheet. Offline for me is just a peace of mind.

LibreOffice better step up their games and make their office suites better. Outside of very niche and specialized applications like CAD or video editor, the average Joe will just need a good office suite to do stuff.

I like and I do use Linux as my main OS. No dual boot BS, just pure Linux

butttttttttttttt

getting hibernate working perfectly in Linux on new hardware is PITA. I’m just happy with suspend working well, let alone hibernation.

Modern standby is the absolute shit of an invention.

This is the ONLY reason I wish I have a Mac. Forget all the memes and jokes about Apple, their laptops suspend very well. IIRC, they also have a hibernation timer built in, so if your laptop automatically hibernates after X hrs. But I dont want to be stuck in their ecosystem, so yeh…

Linux devs are not that keen to make hibernate work well either. Remember systemd dev forcefully removed the “suspend then hibernate” feature? You can still find the thread on Github lol.

try Vivaldi.

Use both. Deposit / withdraw huge sums at the bank, always. For small payments, use online banking.

Depending on the bank, online security can be a hit or miss. Are your grandparents ok to learn and do stuff like secure passwords, 2FA…etc? If they are, go ahead with online banking. If not, there is nothing wrong with do the transactions at the bank.

IMO:

• want to show off? i3wm with gaps and rofi for menu launcher. Add it some transparency effects too.

• want the MacOS style? Gnome. Default on a lot of distros.

• want something stable? XFCE. Install and forget.
