Wait, what happened to Ondsel? I’ve been using it for the last several months as it just seemed to make more sense than FreeCAD did…

Wait, so rum is a dude??

The reason end of support keeps getting brought up is because the only remaining supported version is currently in a trash state and officially doesn’t support a LOT of hardware still in use.

Windows 7 was still supported for 5 years after 10 came out. Windows 8 didn’t go end of support until last year, 8 years after 10 launched. And keeping in mind that you could have upgraded a machine originally on xp to windows 10, it is hard to not feel like they are doing the entire industry dirty killing support just 4 years after the new os launched, while they are still bogging it down with newer and shittier features like its in beta or something.

I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years that this stuff is malware. I’m not the only one. No one listens.

I fucking love running updates on garuda. Watching the little ASCII pacmans gobbling up the progress bar… And it doesn’t do it unless I tell it to so I never have the windows experience of “I just wanna play a game,oh look, 10 minutes of updates instead. Guess I’ll go make a sandwich…”

I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

One 3-headed hound of the abyss.

I disagree with dual booting at the early stages. I like dual booting (or even better a VM if that covers you) once you’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t (assuming something vital is in the “doesn’t” category); but, if you are trying to decide if it is right for you, I don’t think it does you any favors to be able drop back into old habits so easily. My recommendation is drop a bit of money on a second hard drive, pull the windows drive out and install just Linux. See if it works for you, if your “must-haves” are running painlessly or not. You still have the safety net if things go REALLY badly of just popping in the old windows drive and changing your boot options in the BIOS, but you will be less tempted to just boot Windows every time you use the computer - until you really have to.

For a start, in practice you aren’t likely to actually reboot and load into a different OS very often. You can’t really give something new a fair shake while you are still spending most of your time somewhere else. Minor things, like how you like your system to look/work will just push you back to windows because it’s easy and you won’t ever look at the options to find out that it can do what you want (and likely more). Second, there is the pesky windows updates that likes to fuck with the boot loader.

This is really only advice for an enthusiast that really wants to try Linux. I know some will disagree - everyone’s experiences are different, but it is definitely my preferred methodology and helped me make the leap.

I don’t have any direct info on how it works, but I would have assumed it could be done completely offline with some sort of accelerometers. But I am a Lay Person so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Am I the only one that pronounces it swa-penis and giggles every single time?

I panicked for a moment and thought you meant like the EA origin or whatever store instead of early access… I was wondering how they got their grubby mitts on it. Lol

Motorcycle airbag vests that will not work if you aren’t up-to-date on the subscription payments when you have a crash…

It looks like the installer in the background of picture 2 is seeing sda6, what issue is it having, can you post a screenshot of that whole window without other windows on top?

What did you use to create the partition? Free space that is listed would be space that is not formatted or allocated in the partition table at all, it doesn’t really know if that space is available to take or is being used.

Also, having the partition (probably the entire drive actually since you’ll need to edit the partition table) mounted while you are trying to edit the partitions can cause issues.

Yea, I read that post twice and still dont even know what they are suggesting as a solution for me to decide to hate it.

But you do pronounce the g in gnu, so NOT saying it as lig-nucks would still be dropping the gnu. Plus it sounds like “lick nuts” and that makes me giggle.

I am so happy that is the case because that’s always my immediate solution as well.

Ouf, :(

I did say I was dense… lol

I use Okular all the time. I am so dense I didn’t even realize Krita and Okular were both developed by KDE…
