Allright, another qualifier to my statement it is. 😅

Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.

If that isn’t a great romcom premise, I don’t know what is.

Manager “So all that you need is more strain to reduce the stress? Here are 10 more tasks which should strain you quite a bit”

If true, that explains a lot. Where I’m from the pizza slice alone costs that much.

I’m sorry, but this story makes you seem like an entitled prick. I’m sure you are not, though, and the story is missing some crucial context

This is the reason I have a asustor NAS. Yes, it’s not as feature-rich and there are some services they offer that require an account, but nothing is really forced on you.

To be fair, if you use an oven mitt, it is about two gloves full of garlic.

No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.

In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.

too important to self-host

For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.

As long as it doesn’t become Reddit 2.0.

To be fair, if you do not care about the newest iteration of whatever Nvidia is up to (Frame Generation, RTX HDR, etc.) and don’t play games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems, there are really no issues with gaming on Linux these days - at least in my experience.

You’re absolutely right that Linux is still missing a lot of the features that are available on Windows. But the freedom you get with it is so worth it for me, even if my 4090 is bored most of the time.

… in the US. In other countries, they can’t be bought and likely never will be.

As a Martian I feel left out.

True.

The only thing the average consumer will even notice is the end of support for Windows 10. However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and forget about it. They might be a little annoyed by the changes, but that will be all.

Same. I think it’s the smaller size of the community that mainly contributes to me posting more.

On reddit, if my post interests the same percentage of people I will have a lot more answer which makes it impossible to engage with all of them. And since people are less likely to respond I stopped posting on Reddit altogether.

Add Norton to that list. They also perform their own MITM attack on your pc to ensure your certificates are “safe”…

As a Linux user myself, I understand what you are saying. Every distribution has its advantages and disadvantages, and you can’t expect regular people to know which one is best for them. Saying it’s not confusing to the average consumer is disingenuous.

Having said that, if you want to make the switch, go for Linux Mint and be happy. In my opinion, it’s the easiest Linux distribution by far, and everything just works.
