I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.

Dads that quote this are engaging in a form of Dunning-Kruger effect. Often they aren’t self-aware enough to realize that if you have to say you’re so smart, it often means you ain’t that smart.

“You have a presentation on Tuesday at 10. Here’s the PowerPoint deck. Don’t mess this up for me and I might top you up with another fiver ;)”

Yeah, I have an old SSD in an SSK container and that’s where I’ve banished windows to. As long as GRUB can find the right drive and system partition, it’s not hard.

How dare it work!

Yeah, but I’m not THAT happy.

Who TF is scared by Mint?

Did a clean upgrade/install of Mint about 10 hours ago. I’m back to business as usual. Minor tweaks, no tinkering.

2. Got some shit done today. That’s a happy bat.

Yeah, doing a same parallel tracking, I would have a 13 year old. shudder

My Dad quoted this a few times, until he finally realized how incredibly untrue this can be when he falls for too many online scams.

Child, please.

Enjoy those knees while you can.

Do you not back up your 2FA when you set them up?

People should need to take a test before they can be on the internet.

No, the account gets flagged as too many old changes, an indicator of being hacked. Suspended for 6 months is the usual FB policy.

I’m spread out across Waterfox, Ironfox, Brave and Vivaldi.

For FF forks, don’t neglect extensions like JShelter. They make a difference as well.

Nice idea, but it’ll get flagged if you do too much going back in time.

Revive and delete all media, then delete the account. In practice, it likely doesn’t mean much, but it does technically mean you sort of “deny further permissions” to use the data you left there. Again, IRL they’ll use it anyway.

Also, don’t leave an account associated with your name there to possibly get hacked years from now and abuse any connections you have.

Also an option if it’s not tied to your name, revive it and sell it. Aged accounts can be worth about $50+ to sell to scammers.

You should explain that to the few Steam games I have that work just fine on Mint, right out of the box.

It’s hit or miss and depends on the game, and OP didn’t really give us much detail. There’s just no absolutes is ultimately the lesson to learn, which is why a dual boot option might suit them best.

You can always do a dual boot. I’ve had a dual boot Linux Mint and Win 11 for maybe 18 months and I’m finally getting around to purging Windows out for good. The Mint installer sets it all up shockingly easily. I ended up so rarely using Windows that at this point I would rather have the space back.

Admittedly, I do very little coding or gaming, so YMMV, but I’m also basically trashing PS Elements and MS Office Home because I know GIMP and LibreOffice do the job anyway. It was that $250 that kept me holding on for this long.

Like how lions are called “King of the Jungle.” No they’re not! What lion pulled a sword from a stone or killed Rhaegar Targaryen at the Battle of the Trident? Zero. Fucking. Lions. Done. That. Shit.

The eternal metric of a good show hitting a point in season 3 or 4 where every episode opens 20 more questions than it answers, making me wonder if its going to Do a Lost on me and just fall apart. (ahem-Yellowjackets&Severance-ahem)
