I reckon worse than that!

If they’re cheap second hand, or still on sale new when I scrap my current car, Honda E is what I want.

You’d be at it for a while I reckon.

I thought exactly the same thing, as previously though, I was willing to swallow the $8 (at the time) in order to use my tablet for coding (may as well be a laptop running android tbh).

That’s fucked up, it was $8AUD when I got it like a year ago. Fuckin corpos and their price hikes.

I was happy to swallow it to code on the go, but I only used it for a few weeks. Sometimes I lay in bed to code though so I can watch TV as well (never mind all the errors I make as a result).

I’ve got a Lenovo P11, goes pretty well on a charge, and VSCode is available on android, haven’t used it much as I almost always code at home now.

Yep, assuming this new service lasts that long. Could be a year or less.

Ladles and jellyspoons of the fediverse, I have reason to suspect Linux may be afoot.

Take my angry upvote, you heathen.

As a former Cyanogen user I agree wholeheartedly.

I got lucky, I converted from the ol’ shitheap that reddit became at the time of the protests.

This was in the before-times when folks here were more excited about helping people see the FOSS light than they were complaining about people searching for the FOSS light (repeatedly).

I never needed to make a post of my own, there were a good few getting around and a LOT of helpful/insightful/educational comments with a derth of information and sources provided for further investigation.

Once again (as previously in this comment section), I vote megathread.

As someone who recently made the switch (without posting about it woohoo!), I’ve found more information across the clone posts than in any one thread, I second the megathread idea mentioned above.

I’ve made a few comments regarding distros/switching on many of the aforementioned posts and I would happily dig them up and repost them as a comment on a megathread, on the slim chance my experience helps smooth out the entry for others.

No, we should legislate (and then actually enforce that legislation).

I really don’t see any other way to reign in the unchecked capitalism at this point.

This comment is hinged entirely on the assumption that a(more like many) for-profit business won’t immediately make it a money printer to make line go up, sure the tech may be amazing and huge for accessibility but I see it getting almost immediately milked like most other new technologies.

The discord thing is improving (slowly), also partly it now recognizes Linux games launched from steam, but not proton ones. I haven’t tried lutris or anything yet, but I haven’t booted into windows for weeks now.

I’ve also become more comfortable with Linux in general so that’s likely helped too.

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

This is what I did, I’ve been using windows since 98.

I am now on Linux Mint full time, it had it’s teething issues (also not my first distro) but all it took was some DDGing and persistence. I actively cringe when I’m forced to boot into windows for something now.

As I’ve said in previous comments, it’s absolutely worth the effort, spend some time on different distributions, every distro is a little different. On this note, absorb as many suggestions from the Lemmings as possible, regarding Linux and FOSS they really know their shit.

Basically, tread your own path, ask for help if you need it and do it at your own pace, in your own direction. Everyone’s needs are different, the distro list is as long as it is for a reason.

You really do just need to fuck around to find out (what you like).

See that’s just the thing, I pay for media that’s worthwhile, especially from the smaller folks out there. Marvel, disney, Blizzard etc. Can suck my left nut, their shit isnt worth the pixels they render it on.

Absolutely, this guy doesn’t care one bit about anything but the cash and status.

I pirate as much as the next bloke, but also buy multiple copies of some games because I enjoy them so much, or to get friends to play. I’m looking at you terraria…

It’s for the same reasons I would rather support a YouTuber I like directly through Patreon etc. than by disabling my adblocker.

As someone of “this generation” you speak of, you hit the nail on the head and sent it home clean.

My generation has been brainwashed to the point that I’m not sure it can ever be fully undone.
