Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.

Macs I can't speak for because I've never tried, but they seem overpriced

I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it's very straight forward to use, and means you don't have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn't drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc

My Dad died of lung cancer so I'm gonna keep my eye on this research

Where did you go?

When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn't copy my mp3s over, and that's the last time i ever bought an apple product

Ironically I've tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn't work. I'm currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

I saw cattle decap live a few months ago, they put on a fucking awesome show! Whoever did the audio for the gig did a hell of a job too

Umm I don't think New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. I live in Australia and they definitely didn't teach us that in school

For some reason New Guinea is included with Australia, even though the western half is owned by Indonesia, and the eastern half is its own country. Either way with the civil war going on there at the moment I'd much rather be living in Australia!

Yeah I didn't know this one either. Every time I see one of these cheatsheets, I learn something new
