I was in on the $5/mo for a long time. Even when I went to Linux while having dual boot for Windows when necessary, I kept my GamePass sub since it was so cheap. I finally dropped it after the big price hike, they just reminded me how much I don't need Microsoft.

Lol same with first and fourth, just with difference speech bubbles and Superman.

I'd rather kill NPCs I don't like.

But seriously, looks interesting! I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Found the original. Man that was hard to navigate, especially from mobile.

Well unfortunately if it's the bearings dying, it continuing to run will likely overheat it and you risk locking it entirely. I've had to freeze a drive before scanning it and backing up, but it's only about 50% successful.

I'm still going with hinky.

I'm actually the opposite on this because I agree. I use Arch (btw) but I'm also aware this is not the OS for the uninitiated. Arch users who suggest it for the jumping off point from Windows are: a) dicks, and b) delusional in thinking this is a reasonable UX, and c) they are actually giving Arch a bad name by suggesting it inappropriately.

I use Arch (still, btw) because I want the bleeding edge on many things, I actually prefer the shell for most admin tasks, and it lets me fully customize my install, not installing any bloat I don't want. But I'm also very comfortable with Linux and have used various other distros before this one for decades.

When a friend asks me which Linux flavor, I try to take into account their use case. Gaming only? Bazzite, SteamOS, or maybe Mint. Productivity? Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Mint. Power user ready for Arch? They probably already know and I don't need to tell them.

"I hate change"

Jokes don't necessarily make you an asshole, even with sensitive topics, it's about good faith in it being light-hearted. Jokes bridge the gap in talking about topics that are uncomfortable normally.

For example, I have a good friend who is disabled who I game with. My friend group calls him Cripple, and I'll also give him a hard time about by mentioning things about his specific handicap and he'll call me an ableist fuck, but he knows it's not being said in a mean way.

What's worse to him? Being treated different just because he's handicapped. He'd rather have that banter and feel like part of the group, not isolated.

The thumbnail shows "assword" so I'll upvote.

Wait, I have 3 ports on that thing? I never turn it around and look, I just line up against my gamepad dongle for adding a cable for charging. Huh. Guess I'll have to look lol.
