Wait, this seems completely backwards.
Windows: Here is some forum post to some rando’s software. SomeShit.exe. Should I install it?
As opposed to Linux: I look in the category of the software I am interested in, click install.
And as far as breaking… I use linux because it doesn’t break. I don’t have time for windows bullshit.
I would think you would want to do that in python anyways, regardless of the OS. I suppose it might be relative to what you want to do, there are several monte carlo applications for linux but they are focused on certain fields. Whats yours?
Last I checked Rhino was gold in winedb. Did something change?
But I set up work machines when I need windows. Using corporate licensing help set some pretty good group policies. Then I just remote into them when I need to use something or work on something windows related. You can keep an instance in the cloud or a physical box, whatever works for you.
Remoting in with a linux machine on a semi decent connection is about the same as being there.

Just switch to Linux.
This is like saying “put some salve on the wrists where the shackles are binding you”. For fucks sake just walk away from the abusive computing relationship.
I too think you should remove windows. But if you don’t want to, take a clonezilla image of your hard drive now. Store it somewhere else of course. You then can always recover if this scheme gets weird.
Its the first thing I do when I get a new laptop. Then wipe windows. Then install Linux. If I have hardware issues I can simply restore windows for warranty.
In any case, I would pick one of those two Linux to be a primary. You don’t want to get rid of mint or make it a VM. Ok third option: distrobox it.
I would not choose to use a product made by people I disagree with but leaving that aside:
Is it the least bad? Why not degoogled chrome? Or chromium? Even vivaldi seems like a better choice.
Well we could say that anything wet is water. But we know that isnt true. This is similar. The definition, even to a layman, of what herbaceous means is not that much of a stretch compared to a notion of a tree.
The point being is we could call them all plants. But we like to break things into categories, and in the case our science has categorized a banana as an herb. Definitively as far as I can tell, and when they are observed you can see why.
You seem to be making two points here:
That seems fair enough.
But then you seem to say that:
I don’t think it is pedantic at all. I have a banana patch, and I certainly consider them bushes instead of trees. I think people are interested in finding out the trivia that a banana tree is not a tree, but an herb.
It amazes me people use this crap. I guess people just don’t give a fuck about their life.
Yes I know it is extraordinarily popular in many places of the world. Mine included. The hardest part isnt friends, it is businesses.
Friends/family have been easy enough: we are going to use signal for example. They go ok, whatever. But business got complacent. We always work it out in the end anyways. Or I wont give them my business.
I never knew either of these things existed for Xbox or windows. Who is stupid enough to buy streaming movies or tv shows? Oh xbox and windows users. Makes sense.
I appreciate the feedback. We both agree that American is the worst, and I think that is true.
I don’t fly as often as you, but I fly internationally and of the US airlines, Delta has been the most consistent for me. But then again, I still am bitter after getting stuck in an airport at 2 AM (flight was at 10) because United kept saying this plane will leave, just wait. They knew the whole time it was not going anywhere after I talked to some people that work there.
I have been stranded by many airlines, for many reasons, but rarely has one been so bold.
Cheap tickets, and yet the longest travel time ever. No more showing up at the airport and walking onto the plane in less than 20 minutes anymore.
They sure seem to suck less than the others. American? Never. Do they just hate customers? United…if I have to.
This kind of blows my mind. Globally The top three airlines for being on time in order were: Aeromexico, Suadi, and Delta.
Ubuntu? Its a can’t make up its mind what it is trying to be while always becoming a crashy mess. When it first came out I remember trying it and immediately broke it.
The last time I installed it recently it had issues out of the box.
I find this complaint very strange. It’s a dot. It helps people find what they installed.
But if this person doesn’t need it, how would they ever see it? Most power users I know never even look in the menu, so they would never know there is a dot in the first place.
When they say WhatsApp I gotta think that would be the same for any third party conversation app right? I would never use whatsapp, and I would hope any security minded person wouldnt either. But I do rely on an opensource sms launcher and signal. I would assume the framework would make it mess with those too.
This sucks. Horribly sucks. I can’t stand apple products, they cant do anything. I know that even having google play on my android device means I am fucked anyways, but this is a new low from google.
Feels weird to buy a google pixel, only to be able to expect it is the best way to not have google on it. (grapheneos or similar).
I have a phone that has no sim card and I only use it for podcasts (using wifi). I found it strange that different places I took it changed how long the battery lasted. I was going on the idea that it was about the wifi. But as I traveled to different places, and different countries, I saw a radical change in the battery life. I could go over a week in small country and then in the US it would drain in two days.
I finally turned the airplane mode on and it returned to the level of outside US small country in terms of battery life.
What the hell is that device doing when in the US? Its terrifying actually.
Inst this simply KDEs activities?
Kubuntu require you to use a command line to get flatpaks? Usually it is just a toggle in a package manager. I think Fedora is on by default.
