It actually started the day after election. People are actively searching for ways to escape this shit-hole country.

I know I am.

“Raw Ricci” sure was.

Translation: “Install Linux.”

It’s true that the political system is sick, but blaming Obama for it is 100% bullshit. How the fuck would he have “secured the Supreme Court?” How would that have worked?

No he didn’t. Oh, he says he did, but those Democrats should ignore it and continue working until the orange asshole has to send in his DOGE-stapo. It’s not a legal firing.

The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”

Is… is that real? Is this really the world I live in?

Sounds like some deeply, deeply internalized self-hatred going on there.

Holy shit, he actually said that.

This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.

I’m under no illusions that Linux is a viable alternative for everyone, but if you’re just using your computer as a web terminal and light gaming system, a decent Linux system + Steam makes for a very usable option these days.

I have exactly one computer in my house that has Windows on it. It was provided by my employer, and I turn it on maybe once every two weeks or so, for special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop. And most of the time, for most activities my Linux laptop is the clearly superior performer - it’s not even close, despite their similar hardware specs.

I don’t think everyone should - or can - switch. But if you’ve got an old beater laptop gathering dust, try popping Ubuntu or something on it, see how it performs. See if it’s something you could legitimately switch to full or part time.
