Gonna be like the Vietnam War. High tech powerful army vs low tech actually competent guerrillas. Amish gonna win.

Vista on one machine, 10 on another.

Vista was actually good, it just started running slow because the computer was old. Switched to Mint and Lubuntu, those ran faster.

I got a new computer, and went, gasp… BACK TO WINDOWS! Kept planning the switch to Linux for years, because I liked the operating system, then got an SSD and just did it. Installed OpenSUSE, currently on Debian.

I’m not sure if it’s a damselfly, or any Odonata. Damselflies are graceful and they can hover, this one flapped and tumbled like a lazy moth. I think it’s an antlion?

as opposed to chrome?

• Started on a Windows Vista machine, but I dual-booted Mint on it when it started to run slow.
• The software broke or got corrupted, so I installed Lubuntu.
• Lubuntu started to freeze, so I installed Mint again.

The hardware was really outdated at this point, so I got a new machine. Windows 8.1.

Got a different new computer with Windows 10. Started trying out lots of distros of VMs.

• Switched out the drive and installed… OpenSUSE, I think?
• Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian.
• Another system error (which may have been caused by me) led me to install FreeBSD.
• FreeBSD was usable, but not super usable. I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
• Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian (again).

tldr: Windows Vista -> Mint -> Lubuntu -> Mint again -> Windows 8.1 (new computer) -> Windows 10 (new computer) -> OpenSUSE Leap -> Debian -> FreeBSD -> OpenSUSE Tumbleweed -> Debian again

Got a source about Adguard? I use it on my phone, and I don’t get any ads.

That explains… some

Wait, they’re closed-sourcing Ubuntu? Doesn’t the GPL say that any fork or derivative of any GPL’d product has to have the GPL? It’s supposed to propagate.

I need the exact location of the trash so I can specify it in the excludes for my backup tool. If it changes with the DE, then I have to change the excludes. But it doesn’t.
