I enjoy Fedora. I can complain all day about Redhat being evil, but I haven't found a desktop distro that scratches the same itch, so I'm happy for the time being.
On the server side, Debian is perfect for me and I have zero qualms with it.
For sure, it's a tool I wish I had known about a lot sooner. I hope your journey goes well. :)
Welcome to the shitshow. :D As an aside, if you're ever running non-Linux apps outside of Steam, I can't recommend Bottles enough. I've been using it for games and others apps and my experience with it has been awesome.
Been playing TS4 again, lightly modded to facilitate poly relationships. I'm not a fan of the shit storm of DLC that's basically the staple of the game's monetization at this point, but that's nothing that can't be solved on the high seas. Otherwise, I still enjoy the series a lot. (Also, shout-out to the various weird spinoffs like Castaways.)
Sadly a lot of the privacy switches are exclusive to enterprise and education users, but our endpoints are running Pro (we have our previous supervisor to thank for that). I guess I'll hope this is one of the ones we can just toggle off without any fuss.
I'm curious whether the increasingly invasive telemetry of modern Windows will have legal implications surrounding patient privacy here in the US. I work IT in the healthcare field, and one of our key missions is HIPAA compliance. What, then, will be the impact if Microsoft starts storing more and more in-depth data offsite? Will keyboard entries into our EHR be tracked and stored in Microsoft's servers? Will we subsequently be held liable if a breach at Microsoft causes this information to leak, or if Microsoft just straight-up starts selling it to advertisers? Windows is our one-and-only option for endpoint devices, so it's not like we can just switch.
I genuinely don't have the answers to these questions right now, but it may start to become a serious conversation for our department in the future if things continue at the trajectory they're going at. Or, maybe I'm just old and paranoid and everything will be okie dokie.
Went out with family to a Sunday market down in Oregon and absolutely decimated my diet in the process. I also tweaked my knee in the process while being an idiot. Hooray!
In more exciting news, I bought my first gun: a Glock 21. My pickup date is next week. After that I'll be off to lessons because, while I'm familiar with handguns, it's also been a while since using one and I don't feel like somehow blowing a hole in my hand on accident.
Thanks for reminding me that Pinta exists. :D I remember not enjoying it as much as paint dot net, but I'm a dirty Linux user so if I ever need to do some photo work I might give it a shot instead of fumbling around on GIMP forever.
As someone who does not do any sort of professional photo editing, I find GIMP and Photoshop to be equally confusing as hell. The only photo editor I've used with any degree of success is paint dot net, which obviously doesn't have the same firepower as the bigger options.

Thanks
Edit: consensus seems to be canna. Thank you all very much!

Hey, that's not Alyaza! (ik they're probably busy with other stuff ty wallet for making this)
Tried to unalive myself two weeks ago, since then I've just been on autopilot. Last week we changed out our core switches at work. What was supposed to be a 2-hour late-night jam ended up a) getting delayed by several hours because our ER had a last-minute critical patient come in, and b) turning into a fucking 25-hour slog of our firewall deciding it was sick of our BS and taking down literally everything with it. Between that extra-long shift and my being kept up for 30 hours in an ER the previous week, my sleep schedule is absolutely toast.
