i’m not a good person to ask for advice, but this site seems pretty legit: https://linuxvox.com/blog/switching-to-linux/

i use pop_os! which is a fork from ubuntu. i still know next to nothing about doing anything with the linux command line, but have gotten along fine with just gui–a lot of softwares provide the command to install things on their download page and you just paste it into the terminal

steam works pretty much flawlessly, other game stores less flawlessly (you use a launcher like heroic or lutris for non-steam)

so far in a year and a half there’s only one thing i haven’t been able to do, which is use garmin’s gps software to update my maps. not going back to windows for that

ditching windows is one of the best decisions i’ve made in the last few years

dont’ interrupt the enemy while he’s making a mistake

the stupid product isn’t as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it

i voted against trump. i sleep fine. i couldn’t care less whether you believe me or not. but you’re not going to sit there and say i don’t believe myself

there is absolutely ZERO path to improving anything under an R government

edit: by the way, i think you should know: the united states of america will NEVER stop fellating israel, no matter who is president

what?

the department of education is wrecked. the CDC is wrecked. the EPA is wrecked. the FDA, DHS, FBI–literally every part of the government–no, they weren’t “good” before, but now they’re literally nothing more than trump’s playthings run by technofascist henchmen whose only qualification is unwavering blind loyalty to pantshitter-in-chief.

yes, president kamala = genocide in gaza. but again, trump = genocide in gaza AND cuba AND iran AND fascist amerikkka

you can keep throwing out these arguments against voting against trump until you’re blue in the face, and i’ll keep shitting on them. your turn

Trump IS America.

LOL wow. i guess good luck with doing…whatever you think the solution is

this was why everyone’s top priority should have been keeping trump out of office

now we have genocide in gaza AND cuba AND iran

and that’s ignoring the absolute clusterfuckastrophe happening in every aspect of life (including genocide) inside the usa for everyone who isn’t a billionaire

LOL fuck that googley-eyed chud

trump would have handily won 2020 if his catastrophic and completely expected bungled response to covid weren’t fresh on everyone’s minds. as it was, he barely lost that one too

after 2024 every article could spit out “trump down by 3786728764 points” and i’m not assuming shit until the wednesday after. maybe not even then, since his favorite hobby after shitting his pants is trying to overturn elections

that or a pop up in the middle of me reading the article asking to give my email = instant close tab

for myself and a lot of former smokers i’ve talked to, no matter how much time has passed nor how bad you think it smells now, there’s STILL a non-zero part of you that thinks “omfg that smells delicious”

i remember the frantic pearl-clutching from that photo

what a long way we’ve–nevermind

apparently you’re seeing some adulterated version unless you can attend/afford one of 41 theatres in the world

sounds like you had some bad macadamias

possibly from your dead grandmother’s closet

check your thrift stores/ goodwill/ habitat for humanitys regularly

i got a couch for $35, 2 toaster ovens for like $20 (one of which was brand new with the manual still in the ziploc it came with), a mini fridge $20, a giant dining room table $75, not to mention all the utensils for less than a dollar

100%

also, in a system that rakes in billions and billions of dollars for medical expenses, it follows that self-care is an act of defiance

yea, harris and the entire dem party is weak on israel.

but we wouldn’t be in a stupid pointless bullshit war with iran if literally anyone but trump were potus

we wouldn’t be a literal fascist state

all the agencies, research grants, consumer protections-- everything that is now gutted, wouldn’t have been gutted

yes i concede “both sides are bad,” but as it’s been mentioned by other commenters, one side is orders of magnitude worse than the other

they’re fast-tracking it to be the most pointless useless idiotic failed war in the country’s history
