That would require them to admit they are wrong. Can’t keep the grift up if they do that!

Now I understand why my narcissist brother was always on LI

I swear, the only reason I haven’t continued distrohopping is that I’m waiting for Pop_OS!'s Cosmic desktop and they are holding out on me

For me it’s bourbon barrel aged pastry stouts and other barrel aged barley wines.

My reason was that I had heard windows 11 was considering ads in their file explorer. Win10 already has enough prompts pushing edge and OneDrive. That, and many of my professors use Linux, and the ease with which they would install Python or C compilers was too much.

A few others have mentioned Pop_OS! for their Nvidia driver support which is what I’m running too. I think I’m on version 535.93 or something like that. Most of the Ubuntu downstream (Ubuntu, mint, pop_os, etc,.) already include The proprietary drivers in their repos. Pop_OS is known for Nvidia support being a bit quicker than the others.

I’d suggest looking into dual booting (thats what I do, there are a few things that work better on windows). It’s super easy to set up, and it’s an easy low risk way to see if it works for you.

That and fucking OneDrive. Autosave isn’t able to function on O365 without OneDrive screw you microsoft

It’s because of shit like this that I’m glad I switched to Linux.

My wife would probably divorce me for having a girlfriend I didn’t know about

I really liked Civ 4 for some of the fantasy mods like Orbis(?), but after Civ 5 came out, that primarily what I’ve played since then. I’ve played a little of Civ Alpha Centauri, and haven’t touched Civ 6 mostly because Stellaris came out around the same time and then I got busy with school.

I have almost 3000 hours into Stellaris at this point. I may have a problem.

Sid Meier’s Civilization 1

Purchased a house at about the same interest rate weeks before the rates went up. I am also still amazed at the timing and where we are.

I appreciate the advice and will probably do so.

You’re right, it’s been a learning experience.

It’s all in response to this comment.

I fully agree with EU dependency being extremely dangerous.

I might have to make a new account here. I made a comment and then edited it to address a Q_Anon adjacent hexbear user that replied to me. It’s really strange. They say they are extreme leftists on their sidebar, but their politics are anti-Western, which puts them essentially with NK, China, and Russia, which are an authoritarian brand of communist or fascist that prosecutes and imprisons trans, LGBTQ+, etc,.

At this point I think they are simply trying to get reactions and shit stir for lulz. Getting told I should die because I corrected a Hexbear’s use of misinformation is surreal. I never thought an extreme Leftist or five would openly and brazenly support a regime that literally made supporting LGBTQ+ stuff a crime only a year or two ago. It’s wild.

My mother was all into the satanic panic BS and Linin’s words about winning the next war via education and indoctrination of youth in our schools. Dad turned out, interestingly enough, to be closeted gay when they divorced because he was also an abusive sack of shit father.

The ironic part is that he is so indoctrinated from his small hometown upbringing that he still votes Republican-only and hides the fact his business partner and co-owner of his father’s ranch he inherited is also his boyfriend, or at this point, common law husband. He still hides it because the small community he lives in would probably not be very welcoming. The funny thing is that, at least before it was revealed he was hiding a boyfriend, he was hugely homophobic.

It took me literal years to deprogram, in no small part from reddit, traveling through the military, and seeing the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. It’s sad that so many will never question the values they grew up with and will turn into the next generation ignoramus.

Well shit I guess we practically have to invade now
