I didn’t know basically anything in your entire comment yet you explained it pretty clearly. Thanks for a learning experience 😊

Will intensely think about it. Last I heard no bitlocker. Will research this week.

Hmm. Switchable graphics. Do you mean like integrated & GPU? I didn’t think that could affect dual screen setup. Guess maybe it could? Idk.

I would but my cares are pretty much gone rn. I don’t have enough time to do anything nowadays except work, doomscroll and sleep. Much less to start messing with weird stuff and breaking my $2800 laptop for fun hahah. I think I’ll keep it as it came. I hope Bill Gates one day wakes up and looks at a sneak pic of my balls. If I get fired I’ll boot up my work laptop and install Arch on it though. Always wanted to try it!

Microsoft is adware

Yeah what do you do on a computer without Candy Crush. Could it even connect to the Internet?

All my mom does is browser and Office365. I tried to get her into LibreOffice and I saw her suffering through it for some time and decided to put her out of her misery by MAS’ing her Office.

I’ve tried quite a few distros on an MSI I got and it wouldn’t recognize dual monitors with Nvidia drivers on any I tried. I went with fedora, Debian based ones, kde, etc. And none worked. Had to go back to Windows on that laptop.

Ah my work laptop had the same issue but as soon as I saw it didn’t work I just switched to windows and it worked.

The only laptop I keep permanently Linuxed I use as a VPS lol. Got Nextcloud on it and a few bots.

You don’t tell them.

Containers addon. And it has bookmarks decades old. Remove both and I wouldn’t care much. I’m also more familiar with it. It feels more natural due to this. I feel more comfortable on it. More at home, less scared.

My ISP doesn’t give a fuck so I don’t use ISP-friendly tools. Not even a VPN. Only for geoblocking.

Just pirate it off https://1337x.to when it comes out. People rip things pretty fast if they’re popular.

Nope. Can’t understand the reasoning behind “some dude has always existed, you can’t see him though or touch him or anything, but he created everything! Also only we few know about this and only recently! All the other beliefs are wrong.” Where would a giant fairy come from? No idea.

Spent a good while searching for evidence as a doubting kid. Didn’t find anything. I realized the absurdity later on of believing in ghosts and psychics and magic when one of the defining qualities is how they can’t be recorded or even reproduced scientifically.

God loves you, watches you, judges you and can do anything, but he won’t move a leaf on the floor to tell a crying bullied kid to hold on to hope, that he exists. God is such a human-centric thing anyway. Humans are specks of nothingness, a million years in a tiny planet in a sea of infinite time and space. But yeah some dude created us specifically and we look like him!

I just realized I’m on the God account. 🙏😐 (God wants people to doubt him so he can send them to hell without feeling bad about it?!?!)

Why u swearing things to me 🤔

What is that

ah yes, those highy sought after delights of being restricted, linux is not bad, it’s just like a very strict parent that takes away all your gaming consoles and tells you it’s for your own good, and you know what? i’m happy to be violated everyday by the whims of such a helicopter parent, it’s a feature!!! If possible I would like daddy Linux to remove all my rights to music, movies, entertainment, and leave me only a code editor, a console and a chatroom with my employer, that way I would only work night and day to make money, it would be heaven to be trapped into a world where my only possible thoughts are of code and work.

Couldn’t have dual monitors due to Nvidia drivers not working correctly. Couldn’t play Overwatch. Deep Rock Galactic ran very badly and slowly. I’ve used Linux in the past for years but it’s just not good on a gaming laptop.

Which bundle is this? 😌 I shall try it.

Of course. Your idea is THE idea. You CANNOT get mass adoption without a minimal amount of hops. You won’t get the hordes of pirates running around reading wikis on how to configure their router for piracy and how to get an i2p provider and how to get an index etc.

Torrenting right now is so broadly adopted because you just download a Torrenting client, click the magnet, click OK and you’re good to go.

If you HAD to set up port forwarding, some magnet handling register in windows preferences, just those two would stop the bulk majority of pirates. And that’s not even 1/4 of what you have to do to use i2p correctly.

It’s not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn’t care less if it’s clearnet or whether my IP address is public.
