Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

And carpel in the middle there

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox

I’ll take her, it’s freezing cold where I live now

I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

idgi, who is that?

Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂

I don’t know your use case, but I’m less skilled with computers than you (I’m currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually

Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I’ve never looked back

My first impression was that they were Korean

I had a friend like that too, he was Sri Lankan and took offense that he was somehow not included in the blanket term of Asian. I’ve since learnt it’s possible to be more specific and say South Asian for countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, and south-east Asian for countries like Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc

Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment

Preach!

Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.

Macs I can’t speak for because I’ve never tried, but they seem overpriced

Ironically I’ve tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn’t work. I’m currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

Yeah I don’t see the problem here

I’ve been using nothing but Linux for 5 years and I still have problems every now and then.
