Dual boot, and use something like AtlasOS to clean up the BS that comes with windows.

I have a separate drive with windows for solidworks and a few online games I play occasionally. 99% of the time I run Linux though.

That being said I understand if you game online a lot and those games don't work in Linux then that really isn't an option.

At the very least though I would check out something like AtlasOS, it works for both W10 and 11.

I do agree with you on the accidental thing 100%. Accidents happen, but that's different than what is being discussed.

Also, yeah it may seem funny if it happens to some high profile person, but put yourself on the receiving end of a direct intentional thing like that and you aren't going to be overly happy about it. You definitely understand that.

I grew up in some not so great places, got bullied a lot as a kid. I don't bully people as a result but I am a bit more defensive and would be quick to toss a jab and subsequent more if I felt the need was there.

All in all, I do feel that I want to be 100% clear that I'm not defending the guy, I don't know the situation, dude obviously had an advantage and in the brief bit that we see it does kinda seem like they were both instigating the situation.

It's possible, but fortunately I'm not.

It doesn't matter if it hurt or not. The point is, if someone were to assault me I would defend myself because I would immediately be put into a position where I need to consider what this person is about to do.

Inb4 "but it didn't hurt, it's just liquid", that isn't the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you? Ahh so just go tell the cops so they can do nothing or if you're even less fortunate that you're already dry at that point and that person is long gone.

So what is the right solution here? I seriously doubt you would just walk away if someone walked up to you and threw a cup of whatever in your face.

There's a difference between trying to fight where the problem stems from and handling it in an appropriate manner and getting pissed and throwing a drink at someone.

Throwing a drink at someone and expecting to not get hit is a poor way to look at how the real world works.

No, my points are valid, not conjecture.

Your are making the point that she didn't deserve to get hit because she assaulted him.

No, it very obviously didn't hurt him but if someone threw a drink at me, I would respond with like treatment or worse. This is the real world, let's treat it like it is and not beat around the bush about it.

As I mentioned before though, it's possible (and likely) that he started the whole thing though. Without more context though we don't know. Either way, if she assaulted him, and he started it, they are both acting stupid, plain and simple.

I'm not defending the guy but he has liquid on his back and you can barely hear him say something which sounds like she threw shit at me.

If she threw shit at him and hit him with it... I kinda don't blame him.

If he said something nasty, racist homophobic or otherwise insulting to her and then she threw something at him, that makes it a bit more questionable on whether or not she deserved to get hit.

This needs much more context.

That being said, the dude very likely was being a prick and deserved to have shit thrown at him. Still though, if you assault someone first, don't expect to not get it back. Male vs female, male vs male, female vs female and all other things in-between, you start shit, there might be repercussions. Make sure you are prepared to handle that.

Ignoring some bigot (if he started it with words) could have potentially saved her getting her face fucked up.

I'm sure I'll get downvoted for that but my point is still 100% valid.

Edit: For the people that don't seem to understand how the world works. Try this experiment and get back to me. Go out into the city with a cup full of some random liquid (water, soda, whatever) find someone bigger than you and throw it all over them. Please report back and tell me how that worked out for you.

KDE is fine. I've been using it for some time now and never really had any significant issues that weren't caused from my own meddling.

I say that as someone that has been on and off using Linux variants for probably 20 years now.

I run my kids machine on pop os with KDE, auto login that opens steam in big picture mode. Haven't had any issues at all.

Because people need something to be enraged about 24/7. That doesn't mean that there isn't plenty out there to be frustrated or upset about, but it's just one more thing to add to the pile.

Also, fact checking. Nah let's just scream into the void about stuff we know nothing about nor can we be bothered to actually check what is happening.

I see a couple notes in here for Dymo stuff. Please do your due diligence on Dymo. Their more recent label hardware is doing something similar to what you mentioned by forcing the use of their labels and not working if you try to use any other brand.

This looks like it would benefit from Kintsugi.

Not that it's broken, but it would mesh well with the wood.

I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don't have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.

https://atlasos.net/

Also here's another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

https://www.xbitlabs.com/best-custom-windows-10-iso-for-gaming/

I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.

As someone that has been working around weapons for the better part of 20 years, I disagree with your statement of not being blamed.

It's unfortunate yes, but whoever had that weapon in their hands and pulled the trigger should hold some blame.

If anyone ever hands you a weapon, movie set or not, it should be checked.

I do understand that it doesn't quite work that way but that's how it should be. Anyone handling a real weapon, especially during the course of ones job, should be required to go through training.
