I’m assuming one would still be able to switch to a local account after installation, but you really shouldn’t need to. What a shit show.

Fear of the defendant should not influence sentencing. That said, pretty minimal chance of jail time for this. Two-tier system and all that.

This was the plus side for me, too. I couldn’t care less who sees what I post on social media, but (so far) at least my information here isn’t harvested to target ads to me. In fact, I had gotten so used to seeing ads on Reddit and Twitter that I was numb to it. After a year+ here, when I go back to check on those, it’s all I notice and it’s terrible.

If they said that they went “back” to Windows, why would you assume a MacBook?

You’re right, my bad.

I would agree way this, with one caveat: Does OP plan to game on Linux?

Gaming on Linux has come very far, but it’s not perfect and not something you can really get a feel for in a USB live environment. At that point rather to dual boot and try sticking with Linux for a while.

On the other hand, I didn’t sign up for Prime but have had it for 2 months now. Have yet to be charged and I can’t access the page to cancel it.

Awesome, this was super helpful! I was using multiple monitors, so that may have been my issue, but actually just decided to go back to one the week. I haven’t had much gaming time this week, so I’ll see if the tearing is resolved.

Super excited for COSMIC!! I probably won’t upgrade right away, but the progress has looked awesome.

Pretty much same. Feels sad to say, but I use Pixelfed much the same way I do Instagram.

Using the iOS TestFlight app for well over a year (is this thing ever going to hit the App Store?).

Nah, I’m on free and don’t get anything. I don’t remember unsubscribing from anything, but I signed up a couple of years ago, so may just have forgotten.

I love that I can basically test for Safari on Linux using GNOME Web.

Just to add, Digikam for organizing, DarkTable for processing, GIMP for anything DarkTable doesn’t do.

The biggest downsides, for me, with the FOSS route compared to Linux, is that the UIs can be a bit clunky, unclear, or just slower. Since this is a hobby for me, I’m trying to look past those in favor of saving some $$, but it’s not easy after over a decade of Adobe.
