I hope to one day be the Linux user that has no clue what modern Windows looks like.

Every queer person (me) deserves exactly enough money to buy and fully kit out a Sun microsystems Ultra 60 workstation ($4576.31 USD) To fully live out their retro enthusiast computing dreams

i fucking killed Windows 11 with a giant hammer. I'm now running Linux exclusively. on my gaming desktop I'm running Mint and for a regular desktop user it works perfectly out of the box. right now I'm trying to run a game with a mod manager that is designed for PC so im figuring that out
BUT you all should do it too. go switch, be free, spread your wings AND don't let garage mega-corps take advantage of you

Junior dev: "I messed up badly. I'm so fired." Senior dev: "Been there, done that...twice. *proceeds to drink coffee like it's no big deal*" Me: "They named a production outage after me, and it was in the newspapers. *proceeds to drink coffee while staring wistfully out the window*"

My 3 days of Linux adventures
I figured out how to copy an iso onto a flashdrive to install linux and after realizing I was hitting the wrong BIOS menu button after a few hours of trial and error and a call to my more tech savvy sister
Started linux setup, got steam on there, realized how many of my games were windows only downloads, and proceeded to research for another couple hours how to get wine running and what front end to use because my computer has 3 gb of ram and I didn't trust that it could handle duel running OSs
Figure out there's literally a button for it in steam download options after which I say fuck it pass out and just reinstall linux the next morning hours faster than the first time I did.
Yay! Games installed!!
Download discord. Discord calls sound like I'm talking through a tin can on a landing strip no matter what settings I mess with. Assume it's something to do with the wifi cutting out. Investigate for hours to experiment with wifi power saving and settings and finally throw in the towel to talk to my sister again
My wifi despite showing two bars is actually faster than it's ever been and is downloading at ~100mbs. Give up for the night
Wake up the next morning to figure out what was fucking up, play around with mic settings and levels before finally reading a forum post from two years ago talking about window's auto installed noise cancellation drivers.
Resign myself to either needing to buy an external mic that's not right next to my computer's half broken fan, or needing to download specific noise canceling drives from github
Struggle with figuring out how to run shit from github for an hour
Resign myself to the external mic pt 2, try to boot up my favorite little rpgmaker puzzle game and it runs like a slideshow. This is my limit. I need my little mimic chest puzzle.
Begin researching again. Learn about more drivers I could potentially try installing or the much simpler method of just dual booting (computer has no ram. She's so old you guys)
Finally throw in the towel completely and decide to unfortunately switch back to Windows10. Download the iso accidentally and struggle around with getting it on the usb before getting the rar I need and the program to reformat the usb to take it (thank you ventoy) and struggle to download it while making sense of tutorials
Try to boot it. Fail.
What the fuck is a partition
Finally realized at this point that the prefix 'Sudo' in ubuntu is the command to run from root. That wouldve been nice to know
Finally delete partitions, run windows and get it reinstalled.
Honestly a 10/10 experience had a blast would do again

Managed to get Fusion360 to download (Autodesk was fucking INTENTIONALLY blocking downloads to Linux systems, so I faked being a windows 10 system to get it to work). KNEEL BEFORE ME AND DESPAIR AUTODESK. I HAVE THE POWER OF WINE AND MOZILLA EXTENSIONS ON MY SIDE. YOU LOSE.

how secure are you in comparison to qubes
I kean if we're talking a straight up security fight, From what I know about qubes it would probably go to them, but we're also filling two seperate niches. The point of me is to be lightweight and sneaky. An ideal scenario means you use me on an otherwise insecure public computer, do your thing, then reboot and leave before anybody even knows I was there, whereas qubes is a more stationary OS, meant to be installed on a more stationary system. it just depends on the usecase. We're both solving the same problem in different ways
