  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.

    Ow I can upgrade, I just blocked TPM motherboard side to stop windows from doing it.

    But in the end I really would like to give Linux a shot, these days I basically only play steam game or watch a movie, most of it should be easy enough nowadays in linux

    I’ve been learning Linux (Ubuntu) with an old Laptop a friend was going to throw away.

    I like it, but I’m not ready to switch. My biggest complaint… why the hell is it so hard to access an external drive??

    I eventually got it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the command line I used to set access for the first one to set up another one.

    There may be an easier way to access the external drive, It depends on what you are bar is for difficult. Are we talking about a NAS or an external USB drive?

    What's your current method for connecting to it?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    External drive connected by USB, formatted to FAT32.

    Shows up readable, but not writable as default.

    I tried mint for a little bit but ended up using Kubuntu.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    If you like Kubuntu because of apt and KDE, don't be afraid of going Debian with KDE next time.

    People will keep using Windows 10 even if Microsoft will not fix any vulnerability

    I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.

    Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.

    praying for valorant to get a mac port before they kill win10. the second we get that port, i am nuking windows from my drive

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    I don't think they are going to support Mac. If you want to play Valorant you need to have Windows on bare metal. The company ships mandatory malware and there is nothing you can do.

    Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Mount the partition in Linux and migrate it all?

    I personally thought I'd miss parts of windows, but the consistent bombardment of bing search results when I wanted to search my computer for a filename, application or just fucking anything drove me to curbstomp all my windows installs.

    That and the ever changing settings menus, having to delve through shit sandwiches to end up in an antiquated but familiar window to change a setting was a fucking nightmare.

    Honestly, if there was a bit more KISS happening within windows I'd probably have not moved OS - but Microsoft's never ending desire to change what really worked for so many years drove me to where I am.

    You do you, I'm not here to convince anyone to migrate OS, but having some level of semblance and control - for me is such a relief. Probably some of the ASD + ADHD coming through but I'm sure there are many typical folks that feel the same way.

    Mine was when they have windows 8 out for free for a limited time. Then I wasn't able to go back to 7 somehow. Was already into linux by then. That just made me commit 100%. Gamer, CAD user, but still haven't looked back.

    what are the opinions on Bazzite, Garuda, Trisquel? are these ideal for those coming from windows?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    Bazzite is probably fine
