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:

Omfg i love this reply! Someone choosing Windows bc its best for them who keeps an open mind and is willing to try FOSS operating systems?! Holy shit thats a fucking win! Forgive me for simping harder on linux than trump does for putin when i say this, but these sorts of comments do more (imho) to spread Linux than harping on about how great it is to ppl who likely dgaf.

Im not gonna try and sway u, but im thrilled u tried and went with whats best. I make music and the DAWs on linux are.... ill not say... so i do get it. I could run on a VM, but due to the size of the projects im running, ive yet to try it for fear of the VM or the DAW within it crashing. Its the one thing that i do all the time that forces me to keep my dual booting PC's windows partition, tho it aggrevates me so. So im doing kinda what u said, Linux is my "everything but music" OS, and windows is dedicated to just that and literally nothing else. I literally only installed firefox on it prolly a year after installing windows due to it not being used for that purpose.

Im glad ur open minded, im glad u tried what u did. Your mentality makes me happy. I hope windows gives u less trouble than i know its capable of generating, best of luck to u, incredible internet stranger!
