I’m not crying, you’re crying!

It’s there. It’s the tiniest dot there at the bottom.

The land of the free-ish*

* Several restrictions may apply, consult your personal lawyer for legal details. You may be subject to a incarceration without trial for an extended period of time during your legal process, or be subject to a modern flavor of slavery once convicted. A medical injury and receiving a higher education may generate debt for several decades that requires years of work at a minimum wage that barely covers your rent and groceries and may require you to get a second job to survive. You may suffer delusions of grandiose or uniqueness, or a feeling of unjustified pride for wearing star-spangled underwear every 4th of July. Keep out of the reach of children who may be subject to religious and far right indoctrination, perpetuating the cycle of freedumb-ish.

Station 24 Fitness here in Mexico :/

Had to do this for a predatory gym membership that would only let me cancel on a certain day of the month at a specific time of the day. Fuck that.

It wasn’t hardware-related, but rather software-related, which is puzzling. The installer kept crashing for various reasons, and I ended up trying to install it multiple times over a couple of weekends. Once I did, I found out I can’t work on my plugins with Figma desktop because the port is fucky with the fonts, and I can’t put my laptop to sleep without breaking my wifi until I restart. That’s been a showstopper for now until I finish these projects. It’s taking too much time trying to get things to work.

Sweet, I’ll have a look! Mint isn’t doing it for me.

Lucky them! :P

The Mint installer crashed multiple times and for multiple reasons when installing.

One time was for selecting the video codecs along with some other settings I can’t remember.

Then it also crashed because I backed out of the installation once for being unsure what to do, so the window crashed on me, and I ended up having to rename files on my thumb drive to get it to work again (???).

I also had to go digging to find that Safe Boot needs to be disabled, because it’s common knowledge to everyone except newcomers. It would’ve been nice if the installer had mentioned it at some point.

All in all, it was a total of like 4-5 failed attempts on my laptop. Not to mention the times I couldn’t get it to install on my tower for other reasons.

And on top of that, my wifi keeps disconnecting every time the computer wakes up, and I need to do a full restart or I can’t use the internet.

I also can’t get the Figma desktop version to work right because it doesn’t load the fonts correctly, and it needs a hacky workaround that I don’t have the time and patience for right now. I can’t imagine what else I need to fiddle with just to get on par with my Windows setup, so Linux has been set aside for now.

It’s not exactly our choice. I got 7 for a huge discount back in school and I’ve been upgrading it for free. That’s around the time when I switched to Linux the first time and realized it wasn’t for me. I tried again a couple of months ago and it’s been a bit of a headache trying to get things to work. Installing this is way easier in comparison.

Sorry, I should’ve included 11 in the title! The minimum requirement is 10. :)

That’s easy to say, but not everyone has the luxury of switching to Linux and investing the time in troubleshooting it. I can’t even develop my plugins properly on Linux as it is, and I’ve already spent too much time trying.

Funny thing is, I have and it was a terrible experience getting the thing to work, but I’m slowly getting over the other side hopefully with a decent distro.

Thanks! :D

What business does this have being so crisp?

Omg, I’m stealing that one.

Humor is how people cope with the bullshit happening all around us. If anything, humor is what keeps people going. No part of that joke minimizes the threat to democracy in my mind. Quite the contrary, it makes the threat manageable without succumbing to misery and giving up. We can do two things at once.

Nice, but umm, where’s the rest of us?

The only reason to do it. Lol

Thank you! I actually needed this for some things at work. Godspeed, kind internet stranger.
