What a FASCINATING concept!

I thought that too, at least when I was trying all this on my Pi Zero 2 W but I think the 5 is x64 innit?

I take on projects on my weeks off, tho, so maybe I’ll set up a dual boot during my Q1 week off and take it from there.

That’s true and it makes sense.

But the frequency of issues requiring extra work is far higher with Linux than Windows, in my experience, and it’s often a much longer process to fix with Linux.

With Linux, I often run into issues that I’ll patiently tinker with for hours, but eventually run into a wall, resolve to address another day. And I’ll learn a lot about computers along the way! That’s fine and even fun when it’s my self-hosted recipe app (which apparently simply cannot run on a Raspberry Pi except for all the people who said they got it working on their machine yet their solutions don’t work on mine), but it’s far more frustrating when it’s an application for something more basic like music or video playback, word processing or spreadsheets or internet browsing.

Of course all the same kind of problems can occur on a Windows machine, but, at least in my life, it happens less than once a year as opposed to Linux where it seems to happen once per “new thing” I try to do. Some day I’ll do it. But right now, Windows 10 “just works” in a way that’s more valuable.

“Wanna learn about the threats to your livelihood posed by this upcoming court case? Pay us just $5 a month! Don’t worry, we’ll automatically increase that to $10 a month after three months. No action required.”

Hm I hadn’t considered that. I’m also using a small work laptop here.

Lmao tbf this is on a work computer where I don’t have that kind of control.

I still have 10 on the home PC and I get closer and closer to installing Linux on it every time I tinker with my raspberry pi. That said, I fear the same issues will come up. The second something doesn’t work right, I’m gonna have to turn to hunting down forum posts with issues similar to mine but slightly different and randomly applying fixes I don’t truly understand until something works. Not that this is all that dissimilar to when windows 10 breaks, but that happens far less often than it does with the Linux distros I’ve used.

Then comes the concern that I won’t be able to find drivers for the hardware I have, or if I upgrade hardware that it’ll be much harder to get drivers for newer stuff… I’d love to ditch Microsoft, but Linux, while much better than a decade ago, is still a shlep to use

The fucking calendar doesn’t show a whole month at once and instead a rolling 4 week selection of dates with the current week at the top. It’s fucking infuriating and while I can’t find a setting to switch to change that, I can change AM/PM to other custom abbreviations. No idea who that’s for but hey ho whatever Microsoft

Edit: I keep posting variations on this complaint hoping someone will eventually respond to the tune of “you’re a fucking moron, this is how you fix this” but it hasn’t happened yet, so that leads me to believe that it’s an actual fucking problem with the calendar module which blows my mind.

Lmao buddy you turned marketing buzz words into ontological argument come the fuck on

You might as well say Mr Clean is clearly a diety of some sort because of his undying commitment to purity

It’s run by the fucking French, what do you expect?

Have you tried opening it up? Replacing the controller elements is pretty easy. The board is well laid out and everything is clearly labeled. Even replacing the thumbsticks is a piece of cake.

Choke!

Annnnnnd now I miss playing Tribes.

Aotenjo: infinite hands is essentially balatro but with mahjong. There’s many more hand types and ways to specialize your Wall (deck). I highly recommend it

That’s largely what the pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements but feels like Dishonored. They didn’t say it was bad, just unexpected and a different kind of game than the first.

Thanks for sharing, it’s great to hear different perspectives on these things as it feels like they aren’t so often discussed by normal people.

No, I haven’t. Have you? To live or to work? Can you share your experiences that make you feel it’s laughable?

Yeah and I get paid per reply, so keep it up

“Housing is for living, not speculative investment” is a policy the CCP adopted in 2016. They are leading the globe in renewable and clean energy production. It really seems like they’re building a society for the people and creating the infrastructure to make that happen.

I’m sure it’s not some perfect utopia, but where is? And it does seem like they’re headed to better places than we are here in the West.

Man, I would, too, if I could.
