That's why they are upset. It's so important they can't read it.

Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet? (lemmy.world)

I'm 43 and not really starting using Linux. I've dabbled with distros on and off over the years, but I never made the full switch because work always had some program or policy that just wouldn't play nice with Linux. With all the crappy Microsoft decisions, bloatware, and ads I decided to try and use Linux exclusively on a personal device, and I'm absolutely loving it!

I've been working with Ubuntu as my main distro, and I've also been playing around with distros on a Raspberry Pi. To really challenge myself, I installed Linux on an old Surface Pro 3, and guess what? It just works! I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the setup was and how well it performs.

I missing any key steps or tips to make the experience even better on a Surface? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I was planning to buy a new tablet that runs Linux but this is working better than expected. I'm really enjoying the flexibility and control Linux offers and want to keep this momentum going.

I have read up and tried plenty, just looking for some perspectives out there specific to your tablet experiences.

EDIT Thank you for all the suggestions and insights! I'm going to continue using the Ubuntu build for the next few months. Still lots more to learn, but I'm excited to see how this goes. I have everything setup I need to function as a Linux only tablet experience. no more dependency on Windoze.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising in c/[email protected]

I read the title and thought, "Oh is this another ad for Linux?"

Did you try the Serrif suite of Affinity products? Photo, Designer, and Publisher. They helped me step away from Adobe design tools. https://affinity.serif.com

Yeah, Lemmy uploads made it this way. I even tried to correct it twice. When it didn't work I shrugged and let it be because ain't nobody got time for that shit.

I was thinking of making a pixel-like mural where I figure out how to use all the colors I have. I was thinking of crowd sourcing it with friends and acquaintances. Then I realized I would probably end up with a huge multi-color bottlecap penis mural in my shitty real-life remake of bottlecap r/place.

I guess it could unlock a special achievement to find it when the nukes fall.

So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I'm still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.

"This only makes sense. Ovens are a very big part of what makes food and designing and building the ovens costs a lot of work. They deserve some share of the food made in the oven. That food should ideally be proportional to how many edibles items are made by the chef, which should be proportional to the amount of times the food is baked. And this is only one of their plans. There are other plans as well. So maybe someone can explain to me why this is not just a sound business decision apart from: I don’t want to give away my baked food?"

Hey, I truly get where you're coming from. I've been down similar paths where everything I knew and believed in seemed to crumble around me. And man, it hit hard. It's like you're built for a world, and then suddenly that world doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Back in my rough patch, it was hard to see any silver lining. Everything felt like it was taken from me, but over time, I began to see those moments differently. It wasn't about what I'd lost, but rather about the new perspectives I was gaining and the resilience building up inside of me.

One thing that helped me during those times was to stop looking so far into the future or dwelling on the past. Instead, I tried to focus on the present moment. It sounds cliché, but it grounded me. Made me notice the opportunities and little blessings right in front of me that I might've otherwise overlooked.

And while I know it's not easy, finding that internal anchor and focusing on the here and now might give you a new viewpoint. Sure, things are different, maybe even unrecognizable, but there's something to be said about the lessons and strength we gain from facing adversity.

Hang in there. Times like these reshape us, and while it's a challenging process, you might find that on the other side, you're stronger and more adaptable than you ever imagined.
