  • People don’t use the correct terms when describing things. Linux users are very helpful, but some people are much more DIRECT and don’t want to hold your hand, just like the Arch community. Ask a dumb question, get a smart ass response. But still read all of them and then you will eventually find the solution to your problem.

    I have been able to fix all the issues i had with linux after a few weeks of trial and error. Now i have linux running on several computers and things just work. When they don’t, you know there are 50 Ubuntu help threads to get you the information you need.

    Have a windows issue? Good luck even getting windows to acknowledge the problem, let alone fix it.




  • I am new to linux Mint and mullvad had an update ready, so i clicked update. It just stayed downloading on 0% for like 5 minutes, so i remembered this ISN’T WINDOWS. So i opened terminal and sudo apt upgrade and Mullvad was updated and new version installed.

    It’s weird how windows makes things looks easy, but then they don’t work well. Linux makes things look difficult, but it they work well.




  • It’s insanity. I had to upgrade my work laptop to windows 11 this week.

    IT didn’t do their research and turns out our main software isn’t compatible with windows 11 at all. So i had to downgrade back to windows 10. When i did, photos don’t work and the microsoft store wont open.

    Windows is such a horrible system, i have no idea why they made it so poorly. I could have installed any distro of linux and had it working well in less than 20 minutes. Upgrading to windows 11 took almost 2 hours and it still didn’t work.

    Now IT has to scramble to find a solution before the 14th and we lose all security updates, which they are very concerned about. What a nightmare to be in IT.







  • The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. I don’t have a cat, but when i worked in pet stores, i heard all the stories.

    Now for me? It’s a dog distribution system cause i tend to find my puppies in the most odd circumstances and if i had left the place one minute earlier or later, i would never have gotten the awesome pup i have now.
