This just seems way too close ot being a troll. If I’m wrong, please do your research before posting here, this has been discussed to death over and over.

Blood circulation in my hands breaks down completely when I get cold, so no. I will not be turning down the heat.

Right after that slide the guy is talking about how Microsoft is “committed to remaining the most reliable and secure platform”…

Yeah they’re all full of shit

They’re probably talking about their customers opening their wallets

VS Code could really use some work in that regard and I really do feel bad for that person, but this is also just funny as heck

Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?

Last time I ran a corporate-made installer, it caused massive graphical glitches and lock-ups after waking from sleep. It basically gave my system computer-AIDS.

That’s why I never run scripts which are too long for me to easily understand outside a sandbox. Official distro repositories and Flatpaks are the only sources I have some level of trust in.

Weak platform my ass. Half of the US population is simply too brainwashed to even comprehend what Kamala offered them.

Team blue for both.

Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

Conservatives can’t comprehend this meme

That’s bog standard KDE, I have no idea about the distro tho

Social darwinism disgusts me…

Gibt es eine Doppelblindstudie zu dem Konzept?

I’d prefer taking away most of their fake money and gaining back control over our economy

Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

I bet the others already gave a lot of good advice, but there is one thing I wand to emphasize. The way in which you install software matters more on Linux than on any other operating system. You are meant to install it through your distros package manager, which you will most likely use through the software management GUI of your distro. Do not download any executables from websites directly, unless you are absolutely sure that:

• They are made to work on your distro
• They come from a trustworthy source
• You have complete and up to date instructions on how to install them

Sometimes you might need to add additional repositories to your package manager, the same rules apply there. You might also run into things called Flatpaks and Snaps, these are universal package formats and another great option for installing software. Flatpaks work out of the box in a lot of distros. Number one rule there is to stick to things that are marked as verified, unless you have a good reason to trust them. These universal formats might be integrated in the GUI software manager too, this varies across distros.

If you follow those rules and keep your system updated, I don’t expect you will have much trouble with Linux.

I applaud your bravery with Arch. Have some fun with it and don’t worry if you break stuff. Keep your files backed up and you’re golden! Even if you switch to a different distro later on, a lot of what you learn will translate 1:1.
