Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

Freedom isn’t free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

!$$$$$$!<

I don’t remember why but I switched from k9 to fairemail a long time ago. I think it might have been the branding lol… Shallow I know but I just can’t get passed the logo / name. I might give it another shot once it’s rebranded.

Evolution is a good client that I used for a long time. But I switched to Thunderbird after their recent UI overhaul and I have to say it feels way more thought out and robust than evolution.

Sounds familiar, haha.

popular support of the war

This baffles me

Holographic displays

Same lol.

I bought a dell xps15 circa 2017 and it is god awful with Linux. I will never buy another dell ever again.

Not to mention they sell proprietary parts and couldn’t sell me a replacement ac adapter for my docking station. They wanted to force me to buy a new docking station instead of just purchasing an AC adapter… Horrible company and horrible compatibility.

Lol. Geez in America this would be radical ideas haha.

Seems nice not to have tax dollars going to private companies at a glance. However, I do not trust the government to get the job done right by themselves either in many cases.

So if I have been using arch with infected xz library to connect to a Debian LTS server, am I compromised?

So the answer is no, you didn’t try another OS on the same hardware. Likely could be hardware issue.

Have you tried another OS on the same hardware to rule out hardware issues?

Ubuntu, and I’ve been using it for 10 years without trying anything else until this week, I use arch now.

I use DD-WRT, it dies everything I need. Is Open-WRT better?

Did you choose the right partition?

Do you still see your Mac partition when you do fdisk -l?

Prosecuting Assange is a blow against freedom of press.

Sorry I can’t get passed the paywall.

This article doesn’t even mention Assange’s name.

I just read the whole wiki on assange, didn’t see anything about selective leaking or any bias from him.

Could you please provide sauce for this claim?

Assange is a brilliant man and a hacktivist from what I read.
