For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

But don't you dare suggest Linux or else you'll be an obnoxious zealot. Better to just keep your head down and let Microsoft maintain their monopoly and steadily make the lives of everyone who uses a computer worse.

Win11 got me to finally get off my ass and switch to Linux... it's just so invasive, and the way it eats up resources is flat out irresponsible.

Same here. I think my friends have been expecting me to come crawling back to Windows but not only have I since used the SSD for other Linux projects, I have had no desire to go back to Windows. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE has been a true delight to use and learn Linux with. I smile every time the desktop loads. I use three monitors and KDE handles windows better than Windows ever could. It does it with far more customization options and its features just make sense and feel really useful, all without being forced.

Oh, and all my games run with higher FPS than they did with Windows 11.

I have had to reinstall it twice due to my learning process, but the last reinstall was a while ago and I've since learned how to fix problems that I create or the very rare update issues. It's a very different beast when you're coming from a lifelong use of Windows.
