Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

Freedom isn’t free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

IIRC Nintendo is notorious for pressing charges against copyright infringements.

Lol. Geez in America this would be radical ideas haha.

Seems nice not to have tax dollars going to private companies at a glance. However, I do not trust the government to get the job done right by themselves either in many cases.

Ubuntu, and I’ve been using it for 10 years without trying anything else until this week, I use arch now.

I remember being so lost in the dark when starting docker. There’s 2 main approaches to launching docker containers. One is with CLI arguments and one is from a docker-compose.yml file.

I highly recommend the latter.

Try going to chatGPT and ask it to write a docker compose file for whatever service you’re trying to stand up.

As someone who has been using Ubuntu for 10 years, I am sad that I don’t know more about the intricacies of Linux.

I know more than I did 10 years ago… But probably would really be uncomfortable running arch.

I think I will install Debian 24.04 as my desktop (daily driver) this year and be done with Ubuntu. Hopefully I learn some more and eventually try out Arch on my laptop.

Dang that’s scary. The user would need ssh access to the container for this to work, right?

So can I cast a live twitch stream to my raspberry pi using this?

net neutrality

Would that have protected Firefox users from YouTube’s throttling speeds of anyone using the Firefox client?

Yeah lol… Why curb supply to artificially keep prices high? Sounds like a antitrust issue.

What windows applications use cygwin?

Open source is one thing but “free” is a lot of things.

Minecraft and Dota2 run on Linux :)
