Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

Freedom isn't free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

I don't remember why but I switched from k9 to fairemail a long time ago. I think it might have been the branding lol... Shallow I know but I just can't get passed the logo / name. I might give it another shot once it's rebranded.

Evolution is a good client that I used for a long time. But I switched to Thunderbird after their recent UI overhaul and I have to say it feels way more thought out and robust than evolution.

IIRC Nintendo is notorious for pressing charges against copyright infringements.

Could they harden their clients somehow or maybe randomize memory locations for things? Seems like their should be a better solution than installing malware to prevent cheating.

Tl:dr: Wendy’s CEO thinks we’re all dumb.

To be fair, most people are pretty dumb, or at least dumb enough to eat Wendy's regardless.

I bought a dell xps15 circa 2017 and it is god awful with Linux. I will never buy another dell ever again.

Not to mention they sell proprietary parts and couldn't sell me a replacement ac adapter for my docking station. They wanted to force me to buy a new docking station instead of just purchasing an AC adapter.... Horrible company and horrible compatibility.

Lol. Geez in America this would be radical ideas haha.

Seems nice not to have tax dollars going to private companies at a glance. However, I do not trust the government to get the job done right by themselves either in many cases.

For someone who wants to maintain a library of movies, I see the first two links in movies megathread total to 34TB worth of content.

What type of storage solutions do you folks use or recommend for large movie collections like this?

Do you have server racks? Which ones would you recommend?

 

This was I can wipe the drive it's on and install a new OS without losing anything in /home/
