Last year my wife said “most games can be run on Linux now because of steam deck, I think I’ll switch to Linux” and I said “well I guess I’m switching too” so I un-installed windows, and I’ve been full time since, even starting to self host jellyfin and nextcloud. She and I have both done linux in the past, but gaming was what was holding us back. There wasn’t anything WRONG with windows per se , except maybe the looming threat of windows 11, I just really love linux, open source, and being able to easily lift up the hood to peek inside

I use arch BTW. And Debian, my first love.

And I’ve seen plenty of the older square sizes still being sold, so it’s still necessary to mark the different sizes

It was for like…two weeks

Even if you tilt the picture so the world outside is right-side-up, the cabinets are still not right

The south tried to secede and we fought a war about it, so no, pretty sure it’s not possible.

Absolutely positive the US does NOT have a provision for this. We fought a little war about it once.

I found a few typos. In the 2nd paragraph under the section “strong feelings”, you use “than” when it should be “then”. More importantly, when talking about distributive properties, you say x(x+z)=xy+xz. I believe you meant x(y+z)=xy+xz.

Otherwise, I enjoyed that read. I’m embarrassed to say that I did think pemdas meant multiplication came before division, however I’m proud to say that I’ve unconsciously known that it’s important to avoid the ambiguity by putting parentheses everywhere for example when I make formulas in spreadsheets. Which by the way, spreadsheets generally allow multiplication by juxtaposition.

That’s not right, it should be F = 2C + 32 + ‘ish’

Some therapists will help, others won’t. Some psych wards will help, others will give you more trauma. I recommend caution and research before telling a therapist about suicidal thoughts. I had a real bad experience at the behavioral health emergency center in Charlotte NC, and that wasn’t even overnight. I’ve heard good things about some residential places here in Oregon.

Google was 0 years old when I was ten.

I switched because there’s nothing I can do on windows that I can’t do on Linux. Granted, it can take some legwork and reading tutorials to get certain games running on linux. But I just feel more in control of my stuff on Linux.

As a beginner, I really suggest you make the move to Linux as easy as possible for yourself. It’s more likely to be a pleasant experience, and thus a long term one. Try something easy like Linux mint. Once you get used to that, you can start distro hopping.
