Ok but the warforged druid one is genuinely pretty awesome.

Windows kept annoying me. Somewhat ironically, the last straw for me was right after I tried linux for the first time using a live usb. Upon trying to go back into windows, BitLocker locked me out for changing secure boot settings. I thought, no problem, I’ll go online and get my recovery key. I go online to discover there’s no bitlocker recovery key. After some investigation, I found out if your OneDrive is locked down (for me because I went over my storage limit, something that only happened because windows insists on uploading all of your personal files to onedrive) you can’t get your recovery keys. I deleted the stuff but had to wait a full day before onedrive was unlocked and I got my recovery keys.

So, in summary, windows locked me out of my computer that I own because I tried another OS, then didn’t give me the option to unlock my device because I used too much storage in the cloud service they made me use. No thanks, I’d rather have control over the device I paid for and I own rather than it being controlled by some massive corporation.

And I gotta say, when you actually learn how to interface with your device on a deeper level, having complete control over everything is super nice. Also, the unix-style command line makes way more sense and is far easier to learn than the windows command line IMO. While a lot of newer Linux distros don’t need you to use the console, it is really nice to know how for more advanced usage.

Kinda a tangent, but I’ve been using KDE plasma for a while and have really been enjoying it as a kinda in between of windows style desktop with some more gnome-like features (like workspaces, which tbh I’ve barely used). Of course both are super customizable, but it seems to me to maybe be a bit easier to customize Plasma? I’m not sure, I haven’t used stock gnome as much.

Is it still in warranty by any chance? It really shouldn’t be overheating to the point that it reboots, windoes or not.

The only argument for piracy being bad is that it is stealing because they lost a sale they would have otherwise gotten. You already bought the game. Therefore, there is no lost sale. There’s not a single moral argument against it now.

That being said, your ISP can’t tell the difference, so make sure you use a VPN (especially if torrenting)

I managed to get one drive working on linux, able to mount it onto the filesystem using rclone.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I just want a lemmy client that’ll change the way homepage sorting works so that when I refresh its not the exact same feed. Feel like it wouldn’t be that hard to make it not show posts you’ve already seen. Cause currently, I have to always browse lemmy in one session. If I quit, I have to come back like hours or even a while day later just so I don’t have to scroll past posts I saw already

I don’t disagree, I only brought it up because it’s the only argument that holds any merit (even if little) and is made irrelevant in this case.
