I know I haven't been here for a while and it's mostly because everything's awful and on fire here in Murrikah so I'm hanging out on Bluesky a lot. But I always think about here too!!!

But I wanted to poast that I HAVE DONE IT!   

I have CUSTOM PARTITIONED MY HARD DRIVE   

I have INSTALLED LINUX!   

Without frying my computer!!!!

So my first full day with Linux Mint (Cinn-Wilma) installed and IT IS SO AMAZING on a very very slow connection to be able to:

1. stream radio
2. browse the Tubes of Inter
3. download those updates

ALL AT ONCE, on my teeny tiny bandwidth.

It's not perfect of course, but with Windows I'd have to stop using everything and only download updates, especially the large updates across multiple boxes and devices I have.

This is amazeaballs people

No bloatware. No Copilot. No RECALL. All my geeky homies hate Recall

@artisanrox Yeah, surveillance capitalism is bandwidth intensive. FOSS plus anti-trust enforcement would stop that nonsense right quick

Congratulations, and welcome aboard! I think LinuxMint was a good choice: I've been using it for years (Cinammon desktop).
