  • This, MFers will have the most top spec computer and worry about bloat while I install random shit for fun on my 320gb had drive that’s also my boot drive on my core 2 duo computer with 3 gigs of ram that struggles to run firefox and thunar at the same time (also cinnamon is the best running on my computer from my testing, xfce is laggy af and I’m not even going to mention kde, bspwm or any other since the, either lag beyond usability (KDE) or just straight up crash my computer into tty when i try to launch them (bspwm), one massive note is that I’m using software rendering since the GPU on the core 2 duo is struggling with even drawing the boot screen)

    Literally have probably a ton of overlap software from installing the desktop environments and other random (well not very random, stuff I used on windows before) software that I don’t bother googling the deleting commands since apt installed them all as snaps because I never noticed in my first three months of use, fuck you Ubuntu, Xubuntu and all other derivatives, this shit makes me not want to use Ubuntu ever again (not like i can, my pc is fucked and no other drive is bootable, i can’t even boot an install usb)







  • I was about to say that most apps should check the NT number but then I remembered that until XP it wasn’t common to run a NT system, but then I remembered NT 4 existed basically in the same timeframe as 95 did, and even if the argument went to “it’s a 9x application”, shouldn’t these OSes at least have some sort of build number or different identifier systems? Because as I said NT systems were around, so they would probably need a check for that


  • Yeah I need to get a new drive to test as I said, as for the usb ports I tried all of them on my pc, none worked, about reformatting idk if you mean Linux or windows but I have some important stuff there (the reason I installed on a new drive without having another sata cable) so it’s not the preferred option for me


  • Well there was only one physical drive to install on do it had to install to it’s drive, so idk what’s going on, and it wouldn’t explain me not being able to boot live USBs either

    I did had to turn on uefi to install, so idk if that had to do something with it, can’t recall if I tried turning it off yet






  • Well it still works, it’s just that it’s “locked” to Linux, no matter what I change in the bios it refuses to boot anything else, live USBs, my old windows drive (since I installed it separately), nothing, only just that install of xubuntu, nothing else

    I learnt this when trying to distro hop, that was like a few days after I installed, that was like in September of last year, I haven’t fixed (or bothered with) it since



  • Yeah but if you live in places as Eastern Europe there aren’t a lot of “yay LGBT” people (yeah sorry for me saying it that way, couldn’t think of any other way to describe it), especially in the more remote parts (like for example, Prague is like an American city in this regard, a ton of support and stuff, and when I compare it to the middle of nowhere I live in it’s the complete opposite)

    I at least get the luxury that they don’t get the “uwu Linux turned me into a femboy” post on their tiktok fyp (ofc they have that app installed so they can get their daily dose of homophobic bs)

    To note these aren’t my friends but classmates, we had an event a few days ago about learning how to stand up for our opinions and the first thing they pulled out is about this, ofc 95% of all guys in the class went to the “ban and execute” group, they lost their argument since their only opinion was “well it’s not natural”, I hate how they just dragged this for the rest of the event (the next task was to come up with a list of the most common positive opinions of society, ofc since they are the majority of out class the result was “banning LGBTQ”, and not to mention they dragged it for next three days after the event too

    TL;DR

    It just depends on where you live, and what the common opinions there are
