PopOS!

It's supposed to be good for gaming, but a lot of its packages (including the video drivers) are outdated af because it's based on Ubuntu, so you may have to wait months for a mesa patch that makes a game playable while on Arch I can just install mesa-git and play.

I also don't like the Gnome interface and the fact that it casually encourages installing proprietary software, but that's not relevant given its target audience.

Yeah, I get it, it's a distro for novices so obviously it won't go all freetard on you for installing nvidia drivers, but the fact that it's so outdated is absolutely inexcusable and can drive users away because games that are marked as playable on steam may not even launch.

It's ok, I did a backup with clonezilla before trying it of course :) But thanks for the help

I'm very happy to inform you that I broke my system

The first time was in Mass Effect 3, when Liara shows you her project in your cabin. For me, this was the first time in the trilogy where I felt that we could really lose the war against the reapers.

Another very good moment was in Life is Strange Before the Storm, when Chloe finds her dad's car in the junkyard. That hit hard.

Windows becoming completely hostile towards power users.

I used to LOVE Windows, I even made fun of friends who were using Linux, which I only used on servers because I thought the desktop experience was sub par (and at the time it was, we're talking 10-15 years ago). Then Windows 8 came and I stayed on 7 because the experience was bad. Then 10 came and data collection started getting out of control, so I had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to make it usable and "private enough". Eventually things got so bad around 2019 that I realized that I was spending more time fixing that pile of crap than the average Arch user and I decided to give Linux a serious try.

I was somewhat annoyed by some UI/UX flaws but eventually I got used to it, and with the coming of Linux gaming I started using Windows less and less (it's an AMD system so the Linux experience is excellent), eventually last year I realized that I hadn't booted it in months so I just wiped that drive and started using it for games. I've also gotten a lot more paranoid about privacy and sandboxing proprietary software.

Now with Windows 11 things have gotten so bad that even my students are making fun of it so I don't think I'll be coming back.

Some crackers remove network features from apps but most leave them intact so YES, it will send your data to all of them.

I've also personally seen two people get threatened of legal action after installing a cracked copy of solidworks, the company used the cracked software as a trojan to get identifying information from their computers, so ALWAYS USE A FIREWALL.

Those look like the plasma widgets that come with KDE

K-9 is simply the best email client on android, I've been using it since 2015

Power Francers - Pompo nelle Casse

It's a very stupid song with lyrics that make no sense and are kinda hedonistic, and I hated it when it came out in 2010 because I felt that it somehow "promoted" that lifestyle, but it eventually grew on me and it brings me back to simpler times, now I get the irony of that song.
