Yes, long time Linux user…Slackware days. Just wanted a build more gaming oriented to completely ditch Winblows. With many devs working over the years, there has been much improvement for gaming on Linux.

Any idea of a good NAS that won't get hacked ?? Or share your files 😜

It’s true.
For years Microsoft went out of its way to trash Linux in public with FUD.
Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt
They scared businesses and developers so they would stay away from Linux and open source in general. The goal was to keep people addicted to their operating system and various software.

But at the same time, Microsoft was running their critical in-house systems on Linux. Today’s Windows OS is using a lot of innovations which Linux had standardized over a decade ago.

Oh boy I believe i was successful in creating my Linode VPS just now! " A little bit of learnin' is a dangerous thing" to quote someone somewhere..

Does anyone have a non- google non apple phone nav solution?

Linode is a great learning environment. If you mess up, wipe it out and start over!

Has anyone that owns a MacBook been successful with getting Linux installed on their machine? If so, please share your experience.

Works 🤙🏼

Thank you for the key, Jeff!

Installed Linux Mint with no problems. Not sure the model but it was my older one.

Finally figured out the response to the question I’ve been asked several times by sheeple I know at work and elsewhere..

“If you’ve got nothing to hide, why are you afraid of being spied on by big tech or the government ??”

After listening to Jeff Peterson last Saturday the answer finally occurred to me.. It’s actually quite simple, I'd just never been able to verbalize it..

It’s because I don’t want the “bad guys” knowing what I’m up to or where to find me.

I just figured out how to install brave on mint. Yahoo!!!!

I have a dell laptop about a year old that came with windows. I did not pay after the trail so how do I go about installing Linux? Do I still need word, excel, etc?

If you inherit a million dollars, do you want to announce that to the whole world? Everyone should have things that they should hide. Tell anyone who doesn't understand that, to watch "The Circle" with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. It's a good watch and the company in the movie is very much google-like.

"You can't teach conservatives to use Linux! They will never be interested!"

Guys!!
So, like many of you, I have wanted to get out from under my Gmail account. And switching my email, but more precisely, all the accounts I have used it for, to something safer and less evil. This is a good video that got me on the right path

I tried playing Valheim on my Linux PC today. I was very impressed!

Perfect 😃 thank you! I just finish setting up a Linux Virtual Machine. It's running on windows, and it's working great with Brave browser and ProtonVPN.

Xerolinux seems like a pretty cool distro based on what I have read. I am going to install it on another laptop that I haven't used in ages. Definitely want to detox from Windows for good
