Mine was when they have windows 8 out for free for a limited time. Then I wasn’t able to go back to 7 somehow. Was already into linux by then. That just made me commit 100%. Gamer, CAD user, but still haven’t looked back.

Ok now I’m looking for kits. I bought the lowest tier Jackson warrior and you get what you pay for. I should’ve gone higher up the product list.

Ngl a diy guitar kit looks like a fun project.

Finish the joke Bart. … They ruined Linxland

They need a third image of someone at a Waffle House holding a pistol.

Mint for years but i forget. In the updates make sure fully updated first. Then i remember some sort of upgrade command.

Im not much help but i think i did it once. Or you can preserve your home folder, broweser bookmarks, etc… the load the new os from scratch, but im sure theres an upgrade option.

Windows RG

Lol

I laugh and it does/did(over now) affect me. Bwahaha. Im getting work done and nobody can interrupt with email.

Mint power

I liked that one band before they became popular. That’s what you sound like.

libre office not being a smart arse either. it’s the easiest way. i am making some assumptions however. i assume you are a full on Linux user at home and have to deal with MS Office documents of various types at work or some other reason. you can work on that document at work un MS Office. bring it home and work on it some more in libre office. and back again.

i used to tweak windows to look like Linux.

you mean move the task bar to the side or top?

yep. and a wallpaper too.

python i automated a ton of repeatative and boring tasks. made my work life super easy. made some tools for my manager to harvest all drawings for a user specified product. sky is the limit. well until you type import cosmos /s

casually mentions how i run linux. other person. that’s cool. continues with windows.

if they don’t want to hear it, they don’t want to hear it. but if they do, they know they can ask.

Clementine

im.sorry.to.hear.that.

i went cold turkey when i got that early, free upgrade from win7 to win 10. after a week of win 10 and unable to downgrade back to 7. Bam. i became full time linux at that moment.

Ok I’d cut through all of this and focus on your needs: phone with no spying, can’t find rom. I assume you mean your phone isn’t supported for graphene, lineage, or calyxos, or any others I missed?

Easiest way: buy a phone that is supported for the privacy minded os you want.
