oh wow #win10 #win10eol #win11 #win #linux [thx MS for making it this easy to switch unwilling ppl. to linux xD!] i just needed/got requested to install win11 on my parents notebook, cause they requested it. (extremely sad and punishing for me, yeah but they are OLD and telling them bout linux is like i never ate this thing i never will and dont bother me bout it, even if i showed them my notebook not a chance for them changing 1mm) this thing has a Ryzen3 2200U (its not that old) but a freaking ryzen 3 2nd gen is not eligible for win11? thx MS at least this helps to tell them there is no other option, than getting rid of you, for good. and they have no choice to get finally used to Linux ;) 10 years ago i never would have thought MS helps me to finally get my old family members into linux :D

I tap the keyboard, computer wakes up, UpTime is from whenever last I updated the kernel or whenever weather says "FUCK YOU" and my power goes down for over 10min (my UPS battery limit for the desktop).

I click on the software I want to use, it's there, IT WORKS, and I sip my coffee, do things I need, end of story.

In the words of BeOS peeps, "it's dark inside the box¨. If it works, it works.

It's K3WL that some folks want to install a whole new graphic interface or even a full implementation of UserLand server-client to make things look cool for them, but I got shit to do, and I am fed up with techie tap dancing after 3 decades.

You don't NEED any of that, really.

Main reason why I live in Mint is, it's amply supported, updated, flexible.... SIMPLE AF, you can tweak it to whatever degree of poindexterisms you want, but the standard, out-of-box runs well, with minimal bloat, and reasonable flexibility/privacy/ease/etc

I've been on Mint since. Near zero complaints.

Ok, in 2021(?) they release Mint 19.0 which had broken USB modules. Life sucked for about 2weeks until we figured out what was wrong. They tried fixing it, almost fixed it all, with couple updates to 19.3 but in the next 6months or so (?) Mint 20.x came out, and we all agreed to never talk about Mint 19 again. I actually microwaved a DVD with Mint19 installation files.

That is how you can tell I was miffed off.

The next decade or so I swayed between that and Debian, got disgusted went onto BeOS (not Linux), a few BSD (defs not Linux), a plethora of obscure AltOSes, and then - because most AltOSes were wiped by monopolistic market warfare - I came back to Linux as main daily driver, around, oh, 2011-2012.

Windows7 was the last time Windows was a feasible operating system.

I got to Ubuntu, Gentoo, then other exotics. ended up with Mint in 2013.

Funny story.

My very first flavor of Linux was Slackware., circa, uh, 93-94?

It sucked.

Then, after dabbling in OS/2, neXT and other stuff, I discovered RedHat, 95ish? 96?, and Debian 94-95ish?, the convenience of a .RPM or .DEB package for software installation, bypassing the pain of compiling everything. Wheeee!!!!

"But why are you mocking them?" someone asks me about the whole Win10-Win11 thing

For one thing, they choose to suffer. I understand their company issued whatever computer has Windows, checkmark. Doing that for their personal stuff is downright fucking stupid, and I point that out, often and delightfully.

¨Muh, but why should I switch?"

Dunno, freedom of not being surveilled and sold ads and having your shit snooped and fed to some data center?

Like everyone else you buyed a pc into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot tweek or control or command. Unfortunately, no one can be told what Linux is. You have to see it for yourself. O14 is your last chance. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you buy a new PC with Win11 and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you discover Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes… Remember, all I’m offering freedom, nothing more… Follow me
