yeah no shit

its alright. i have one. mostly just play Rogue and Super Star Trek on it

its better to quit heroin, but safe injection sites are good for public health

personally, i dont see what advantage this would really bring to the user. unlocking features seems kinda predatory to me, like paying to unlock heated seats in your car.

personally i just donate $5 to my instance a month. i sont need a reward. but maybe im the odd man out.

do not get a pinephone as a daily driver. battery life is like an hour, and its incredibly underpowered (i say that as a fairphone 5 daily driver). i cant speak for any other linux phones as i havent used them, but i plan to make a conserted effort to switch when fdroid stops working

where will ai steal the info from without the web?

its just scatman john for the children

normally id say “linux is free, there’s no harm in giving it a go”, but between your lack of free time, nvidia graphics card, dependence on proprietary software, and previous experience (and slight distain) for linux i’d say just go with win 11.

there may be a way to get your music software to work in linux, but youll likely need to mess around with wine configs and it may never actualoy work right.

if you are interested ever, fire up a vm and play around with linux to get comfortable with it. maybe when win11 reaches eol (or even before) you’ll want to make the switch.

none of this is said to scare you away from linux. searching for drivers is rarely a thing in linux. there are built in tools in most distros to deal with graphics drivers, but apart from that, given the open source nature of linux, everything else is just handled by kernel modules and are basically seamless unless you have some weird proprietary hardware. linux is fairly easy to use these days, but there is quite a bit of a learning curve because it is a fundamentally different os than windows, and the way you solve problems is very different.

you did nothing wrong. ubuntu is a perfectly fine distro for beginners. the reason i dont use ubuntu anymore is the age of the packages started to bother me. also its kinda annoying that releases hit eol at some point. i like arch for the rolling release (no eol) and the fresher packages.

if ubuntu worka for you, keep using it. there is no correct distro.

what is a front sata port?! 😍

ok, and i’ll just buy a house to build wealth like my dad suggested. and dress better than the manager if i want a job. and stop eating avocado toast.

im not.

yeah i feel you. I’m in a band, so instagram is basically a necessity for promotion and communication. getting the word out about shows, other bands will message me for gigs etc

just try to use it a little as possible, and try to lock it down as much as possible in the os. you can do alot in the android app settings.

basically treat it as you would having a conversation near a security camera.
