HAppy cANADA DAy, y'all!
Yeah, agreed. I was dreading this one a bit but ended up flying through it. Stalled with 5 words to go.
This combo broke my brain somehow. This many words should not be possible.
An E would be greaaaat ...
Pfft. If ever there was a "Sam word" I'd have thought that WENGE would be it.
I moved my home to its own partition a while ago and recently changed my os. It worked well, just had to modify fstab to remap my home drive in the new OS. Not sure if this is what you’re after but I accomplished it al on my main drive by modifying partitions.
Saw this combo and kind of knew it would be a big one, but still.
Thanks! I was more excited about the 1,000 day streak when I posted. Didn’t feel like my times were anything special for the most part.
5 seconds is almost faster than I can type the words in!
I saw these a few days ago and they reminded me that I am a moderator of a sleepy little community. 😆
Thankfully the mod tools were very effective in banning the user and nuking comments.
On the off chance this is a real question, if it’s your first time, don’t install Arch, install Linux Mint. It’s simpler to use and will probably be an easier transition.
To get it installed, download the ISO image for the latest stable build (22.3 as of this post). You can then use a tool like Rufus (https://rufus.ie/en/) to create a bootable usb.
Reboot your system with the completed usb and boot from it. If your system automatically starts windows again, note that you may need to press either F2 or F12 when booting up to get a menu that allows you to boot from the usb.
You’ll be able to try the os before you decide to install it. If you like it and want to install it, you can choose the appropriate option from the os once it’s loaded.
You can dual-boot windows and Linux Mint if you want to, usually a good option for first time, so you can go back to windows if you need to. I’d recommend using Mint for a while before deciding whether you can move fully over. If all you use your system for is web browsing, viewing media, and gaming (I.e., no MS Office work) you’ll probably be fine to move over full time.
Also, get your grandson to help you out! :)
Thanks for the summary. I signed up for it just in case, but don't think I'll end up using it. I have a similar experience with Mastodon, but then I was never really into Twitter, either.
I share your feelings on the importance of open platforms. While reddit may have been shitty for a while, the whole third-party apps thing was an eye-opener for me, and started me thinking about (and moving toward) open source.
My next big challenge will be to de-Google, but I'm increasingly up for it. Problem is I have a ton of site identities associated with my email address there, so we'll see how that works out.
Does it shut you down as soon as you get the PG? That’s kind of sucky.
