Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • The absolute best part is…it’s USA. The moment your military gets actually slight spook, of the you know, short gasp variety…you know it because your military complex temporarily forgets limits of today’s technology and produces some sci-fi shit. And yet ya all are still able to be made to be scared of… looks into his book Mexico and…Iran…

    I honestly don’t care at this point. New Ariel sucks not because they switched her to black, but because it just sucks as a whole. The only thing that’s actually kinda pissing me off is…

    …could we stop swapping gingers with blacks? Please? Pretty please? Both are minority, ffs. But one is even kinda rarer than the other. Go on, switch the blondie, but leave the ginger as ginger ;-;

    Most distributions have detailed instructions on their sites, like Linux Mint. But overall, it amounts to:

    1. Choose disteibution
    2. Download it’s installation image ( I recommend LiveUSB version - it will allow you to check if you like it first and most distributions have them )
    3. Prepare bootable usb stick ( I recommend Rufus for that )
    4. When done, reboot your computer choosing usb drive as boot
    5. If LiveUSB version, check out whether you like what you see and if everything works. If you like it, there should be install app on desktop
    6. Proceed with install process. For most linuxes, it’s 1:1 windows installation process, minus ads and forcing you into online stuff.
    7. Enjoy linux ^^

    Edit: Also, you can simply download distributions en masse and boot them up in VirtualBox or something to check them out without making USB each time. Allows bypassing requirement of LiveUSB too - you can just install it in its box. However not all distributions like being virtual boxxed

    Short Hipocrisy version, because people I also wrote books there:

    Windows sucks your data and tries to put ads everywhere. Linux is a type of operating system, that is free and open source - everybody can make their version. Thus, there are no ads, and the moment they try to spy on you, community picks up the torches. So, people who know their stuff rally behind linux. HOWEVER. Linux isn’t windows - it doesn’t support the same programs and needs you to fight off command line anxiety.

    Today linux is basically botherless to work with, but even then, I still had to boot up command line to install some old ass drivers or some shit.

    Heck, what’s more - there’s only one/two version of active windows, but there’s many linux distributions (which are the “made by other folk” version I talked before), so you can pick the one that fits you. Most folks recommend Linux Mint as it’s the most Windows like experience, but if you like chromebooks there’s also Peppermint OS, and if you want full versatility there’s also Debian.
