- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 1 week ago:
I hope that your daily driver is 100% paid for and supported by your work. There’s no way you should be expected to bring an unsecured advertising and user tracking device into your home, especially on your own hardware.
There are very few reasons why anyone should be using Windows in a professional setting anymore. Any company that does so is taking a huge security risk with company data. I’m sure there are lots of places that do it, but this is due to typical corporate laziness and ignorance.

At this point, any programs that won’t work in Wine either have a component that cannot be run in Linux (kernel level anti-cheat for example) or has a DRM/execution stack that enforces Windows use (ie Abobe.) Most of my Windows emulation is gaming, and I’ve managed to get Fitgirl installers and even cracks/updates to run through Wine and Proton. My opinion only: At this point any program that won’t run on Linux is intentional, either by design, or by neglect.

Which means you just did four things to help the AI which the AI can’t do itself. That makes it a tool: useful in some applications, not useful in others, and constantly requiring a human to properly utilize it.

You don’t even need to use the command line in Mint. There are at least 3 decent gui package managers that I can think of if the top of my head.

That still counts. I have 25 years in IT and I’m still surprised by every new machine. F2? Why?

Wip30ut was the reason I bought a PS1. Amazing game that still holds up.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 8 months ago:
“Trade in” like theres a dealership willing to give you some kind of fair value for your old computer. That said, if you’re willing to be extorted by Microsoft, then you get what you have coming to you.
