As someone who has family who votes in that 40%, I can confirm (anecdotally) that they only care about fiscal policy.

Do you have a point you're trying to make, or are you just airing out some trauma?

You aren't doing green text right if you don't call everything fake and gay, even if it's true and straight

This isn't a random person lol, but yes

Well, alright. I just don't think you should make definitive statements based on speculation considering how many stupid people will take that as fact, but to each their own. Just my own opinion.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

In all seriousness though, Michael Waltz being informed the bombs had dropped and responding with "👊🇺🇸🔥" seemed the opposite of presentable to me. That's something my retired tradesman father would text me if his football team won the Superbowl, not something that is appropriate or presentable to the eyes of the American populace after killing a bunch of brown people in Yemen.

Hard disagree. If you read the signal transcripts, it sounded like frat boys planning a bombing run.. highly unprofessional.

I think it's also a good idea to state this is your opinion, and is not, in fact, "100% arranged and intentional". We don't need more misinformation spread around.

Horrible thought that so much of the population is that fucking stupid

Try being a Warhammer 40k enjoyer. Some people forget that humanity are STILL BAD GUYS in 40k.

Classic Lemmy downvoting shit they don't like to hear when it's true.

I fucking hate Joe Rogan and think he's a total cunt, especially as of late, but at the beginning of the pandemic and prior, he did have some great guests like Michael Osterholm.

Gold medal for your performance in mental gymnastics.

 

I hate vehicles.

 

Hi all,

As the title states, I'm interested in making the switch from Windows to Linux. I know absolutely nothing about Linux, other than that fact that there are distros that exist under Linux, and Linux itself isn't an OS, or so I think.

I have 2 laptops and my main home office PC, which I use for my job and gaming.

My plan is to switch one of my laptops to a Linux distro, and test it out. This laptops only purpose is web browsing, so I figure getting Linux set up to do something as simple as opening a browser is something I am capable of.

Down the road, once I've sort of learned on this laptop, I may work my way up to using other distros and dual booting my main PC. Who knows, maybe I'll even switch over completely prior to Windows 11 rolling out.

I've heard getting games to work with Linux can sometimes be a hassle, and can require some fiddling, so I won't be doing gaming on a Linux distro until I feel quite comfortable.

So with the above context, I'm looking for recommendations on a distro I should use, any guides that any of you may have found helpful, and generally any insight on things I may need to be aware of.

I am fairly tech savvy (probably not compared to most of you), and am not afraid of tinkering with things until they work. Any help would be muchly appreciated, and if this isn't the correct place to post, please let me know and point me in the right direction.
