Dude I remember when live booting knoppix was impressive. Hell my intro to Linux was mandrake. We have so many great distros and documentation available now it’s crazy.

As much as I want AOC, she won’t win not because she’s a woman, but because she’s relatively young. We are all tired of these old, greedy, out of touch fuckers doing shit they wont have to live through the consequences of, but they get away with that shit for a reason. They aren’t old. They have experience. AOC would be presented as inexperienced.

Which is ironic given how inexperienced the current failure is having been in the white house fucking twice.

Israel is not irrelevant on the world stage. They are a major intelligence asset. Nobody comes close to what they can do. And America knows this. They have been enabling Israel all these years hoping to keep that asset on their side. The second we turn on Israel they become a mercenary operation for our enemies.

There’s not really any way to win with Israel. They are assholes. They shouldn’t exist in the first place. And we continue to play nice with them while they kill everyone around them and threaten anyone who dares question them.

This was intentional.

Actually this is a good chance to prove things. Most would rather vote for a woman than Trump right now. This could be a perfect moment for a woman to get in power and kick some ass.

I can’t remember exactly why I hate SUSE, but I remember it never worked right when I tried it. Weird layers of abstraction, terrible ARM support, blegh.

Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.

Weren’t you supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?

That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.

That’s not because the registry is important or powerful. It’s the opposite. Microsoft designs their shitty operating systems to always assume the registry is perfect. Question nothing. Everything is literal. There is no sanity checking or error handling. So if something is off about the registry, the OS will just shrug and blue screen.

Stop using windows. It’s for children.

The windows registry is not a magical thing. That’s really all that dangerous. It’s just a giant central config file that you can store binary data in if you know what you’re doing. Malware can hide there too.

Tools that claim to lighten windows are almost always riddled with malware. You should never ever trust them. Those project build a base of loyal users, then change and add in malware later, compromising the system.

Windows is not a system you modify like that. It’s actually surprisingly Mac like in how you have to handle it. Be responsible. Build an OS up and out, bow down and back.

There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.

valid, fast and private OS wut?

Microsoft turns things back on all the time though. It doesn’t matter what you set if they can unset it whenever they want.

I firmly believe this will go the way of Cortana once the AI bubble bursts. What I’m more concerned about is the normalization of terrible security and privacy practices.

Linux is everywhere and doing everything already. Windows only continues to exist because business majors are in charge and they are fucking dumb.

They do indeed! And if I had a framework that’s exactly what I would buy unless they had an ARM offering.

You need to stop worrying about “official support.” You aren’t a business so it doesn’t matter for you. There is more support out there online for free than you realize. There’s nothing magical framework does for you that doesn’t get ported out everywhere else eventually anyway. Stop limiting yourself like that.

That being said, Ubuntu is built in Debian. Debian is an incredibly solid and stable distro. Ubuntu does do a few questionable things with it but it’s still very reliable. If you have problems with stability, it’s very unlikely Ubuntu is the problem unless you did something so incredibly stupid to it support wouldn’t help you anyway.

I have a theory. Windows can dance around memory corruption issues in ways Linux just refuses to do. Windows will misbehave in strange ways trying to make things work until it just can’t anymore. Linux is more of a binary thing. It works or it doesn’t. It’s not going to play pretend for you. It refuses. Linus has an obscene hand gesture for your hardware.

I want you to get a copy of memtest86+ and boot it off a flash drive. Then just let it beat the shit out of your CPU and ram for a couple hours.

Framework laptops are generally Intel. Intel hasn’t been making the best stuff over the past few years. It’s possible your cpu might be affected by a flaw Intel tried to cover up for a while. If it has it, nothing in earth will ever make that chip reliable. It’s not fixable. It will only get worse with time no matter what OS you use.

Ahh I see. For the record, I like Linux.
