Time before ABS: local wear

The os itself doesn't require a whole lot of learning, if you stick to something user friendly like mint cinnamon. Key differences are how you install programs and drivers. File structure is very different. After two years of daily driving mint cinnamon, I find it more difficult to do basic stuff in windows, especially 11. If it feels intimidating, the recommended approach is to try it out on another pc, dualboot, or use it in a virtual machine.

I had to copy everything to an external drive and change HDD to ext4, then copied back. Nothing corrupted since.

It's fine. I used to dual boot the two too, and I use a bigger secondary HDD. It's linux that has the issue if the drive is in NTFS format, I used to get files and folders corrupted all the time and only windows could access and delete them. Not a problem with ext4, but windows can't read that. Dual booting is not a great long-term plan because it's updates are known to delete grub, or that's what I've learned from other lemmy users.

Always remember to check your victim's socks too before pinching. Easy to get accused of sexual harassment.

Indeed. That was back when I used windows, and I found it quarantined in defender. No idea what kind of spyware I got from it, but I wasn't hacked and I didn't lose my moneys.

It's also a common saying in Finland

I have been using 1337x.to for years and it's listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.

You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn't play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file...

and it has started already! didn't you hear about the covid vaccine!!!

poor dog not only got scared but probably got it's hearing completely destroyed

if it blows hot air, that means it successfully transfers heat off the cpu, so the blame is not entirely on the thermal paste (you should probably still change it though). clean the sink and the air intakes, laptops insides easily get tightly packed with dust.
