If I’m being honest the only Microsoft product I actually like is Excel.

The policy is you can only work from home when it benefits the company, not you.

I assume you want disk encryption on Windows which is why you haven’t turned off bitlocker and disabled it in BIOS. I’m not familiar with whole disk encryption on Windows but Linux has many options.

If you’re going to dual boot I would recommend a separate boot partition for GRUB/boot manager that points to the windows boot partition because Windows likes to mess up a shared boot partition.

That’s what I was wondering. Seems like a recipe for disaster having your main system be several versions behind them shoehorning bleeding dependencies for AUR programs into the mix.

I do. Did you find better results on Google? I’ve used DDG, yandex, qwant, and brave search engine but I really like the add free results and I understand something has to pay for the servers.

Kagi.com is one of the best services I pay for. I know paying for Internet search seems outrageous because we’ve been accustom to our data being the payment, but I think it’s worth it. The search feature and added stuff really make it very functional plus the no adds or SEO type sites is bonus.

I’ve messed up my system so many times over the years that now I think I secretly get excited when it accidentally happens. Maybe I’m a masochist, but I actually enjoy trying to understand what went wrong. A USB stick with a light weight Linux distro and chroot you can usually get back in there and look around at the damage.

As someone who’s exclusively used tiling WM for the past few years you can do anything a full blown DE. I like them for a couple of reasons:

1. they don’t come with any extra software that I will never use.
2. They’re light weight with minimal overhead
3. They are extremely customizable, key bindings are second nature for me know.

I do use the terminal for a lot of things, but I also use the GUI for lots of stuff like web browsing, graphic editing, and gaming.

Heh, I’ve got 32gb on my Proxmox box, and would be lying if I said I wasn’t eyeballing a few 64 or 128 sticks.

Found this Google docs PDF that’s a pretty good read on it. Keep in mind it’s 5yrs old so some of the recommended indexers and services might have gone off line, but the general info is still true.

*Edit, I know I’m breaking the first rule of Usenet!

I know your looking for torrents, but have you tried going down the nzb rabbit hole?

Only Apple fanboys care. I’ve heard from them that green bubbles are for poor people. It’s kinda funny they how brainwashed some of them are. Although I will concede that SMS sucks compared to Apple’s and the equivalent apps on android are to fractured for consistency.

I love caving videos as well but would absolutely not do it. I like these guys videos: ActionAdventureTwins

This video is wild, they drop down like a 600’ pit in a cave. https://youtu.be/eULp72P0pNM?si=mi6Wc3_aMBC7Xrdy

Where’s that package manager tho?

Kagi. It’s a subscription but it has a lot of good features and no advertised.

I haven’t used Google search in years. Their monopoly on the Internet is really trash.

That was unexpectedly awesome.

Agreed, it’s my favorite WM and I still use it on a daily basis. I really like how it handles multiple monitors. I haven’t jumped on the Wayland train yet, but I did play around with Sway WM on a virtual machine.

For me there’s an inverse relationship with makeup and hotness. I think women wear makeup for other women. I like my partner regardless of how much face paint she puts on, but maybe that’s just me.
