For me it’s installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.

I have a USB drive bay. Just swap disks to play around with other distros. It’s pretty neat too

Well now I feel silly for not thinking about doing that.

It actually works quite well. Seperate home partition and off you go 😁

I installed ubuntu on my workstation in 2013 and have upgraded the OS since. I’ve swapped out the motherboard and added 5 drives in raid6. The thing morphed from a desktop into a server over the years. The only original HW is the case (power supply died a few years ago). I never really concidered wiping & installing a new OS.

I thought we ditched Windows because we were tired of doing that?

I didn’t, I just liked Linux more. It allows us to play around more, but also fuck up more…

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
