Ok. Ignorance is bliss, sometimes, I suppose.

Cheers!

You should try learning words sometime

For me, I’ve been throwing distros on a spare SSD so I could test run in a proper install, but I’m sure a thumbdrive would be fine. Just keep in mind that you might get some hangs and things will be slower due to the speed of the drive, rather than the inefficiencies of the OS you end up on. If you want to test out specific programs or games or something, you can always do what I did and put them on a separate faster storage drive (I’m on SATA SSD for my OS right now, but am putting other things on NVME).

As I mentioned elsewhere, I still have my Windows on another drive so I can boot to it if I need to, but I honestly haven’t needed to even once since switching, so I’ll probably end up just switching to VM only for anything that requires Windows fairly soon here.

The transition has been much simpler and smoother than I ever had imagined.

Plus these days you can just use AI to scan your entire system in detail and explain where everything is while sending that data back to their creator.

Oh wait, sorry, that’s Windows, my bad.

Absolutely agree, edited post. Was meant as a joke, clearly wasn’t in good taste and I apologize. It’s pretty solid, just not for me.

I don’t think they’re saying it as a problem or trying to argue with you, just stating reality 😅

Right now, I still have Windows as dual boot in case things go sideways or I run into road blocks with work, but my plan is to move all of that to a VM in the near future (and ideally an actual work supplied machine with a KVM eventually). At that point, I could see myself falling back onto something like Pop!_OS as a stable side install if/when my main OS is having issues and I just want to play a game and not bash my head against a console for 5 hours.

Sorry to be so seemingly unfair to Pop OS, what it does it does do quite well, just not for me as a main driver.

You just have to install steam, haha. I got CS2 up and running in 10 minutes 😝

Honestly, it seems really stable and works great, I just hate how…hand holdy it felt for me personally. I think the emoji was a little over the top. My apologies, haha. It’s totally fine for what it is, and if it works for you, that’s fantastic!

If it’s coming from my older coworkers, I know it’s meant well. They approve of whatever was discussed and are too busy to type out more, or its unnecessary.

If it’s coming from my gen z boyfriend, I have pissed him off.

I get it. You made a mistake, are embarrassed, and are now pointing things back on the messenger instead of just saying, “Oh shit, my bad,” and moving on with your life.

Have a nice day, man. Riveting conversation.

…uh…likewise?

I point out to you how you’re mistaken, and you just go, “nuh uh.”

Cool…

Right, and the initial sentence

It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

Point being, feedback is welcome, disparaging opinions are not.

Nobody declared that “only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work.”

Reading comprehension, my friend.

No one said that though.

Christ, how insufferable. I dont know what I expected. Welcome to the block list I guess.

Way to completely miss my point. For someone who touts communication, your skills are severely lacking. Have a nice day.

This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. There’s a slight difference in using a well established acronym vs. a personally made-up one 😅

You’re essentially getting upset that someone used a word that you aren’t familiar with. With that, you’re comparing someone using this unfamiliar word to the use of a non-existant word.

When you encounter a word you dont know, you look it up in a dictionary. You don’t call out the author on their communication skills (rudely, mind you).

I’m really trying to be cordial here, and I really don’t mean to cause upset, but you must see where I’m coming from, no?

Chill out, man. This isn’t parliament. Everything doesn’t have to be communicated as if we’re drafting laws.

Communication styles vary greatly, and tone is dependent on setting. What OP posted was completely fine. No need to throw around clown emoji 😝

I think you’re making a significant deal out of something that is quite minor, personally. It’s okay, though. It’s minor, so we can agree to disagree. Cheers!

DAE is a fairly common acronym on online forums, often used in titles such as these. You could have used Google (or DuckDuckGo) to learn its meaning 😊

It’s simply “does anyone else.”
