dded my main drive instead of dding an iso to a usb 🤦.
Nope, but I think I've given enough to the community over the years.
Though I was thinking of donating to Void (maybe even some sort of a partnership, if they agree to it, which I seriously doubt) cuz I use it for business purposes as well.

That is normal in Linux (and any POSIX compatible OS). By default, in Linux, you're not root (admin in Windows... more like trusted installer and elevated admin at the same time, to be more precise)... unless you use Kali, but that's a different story. You're basically set up as a user in the wheel group, which has sudo privilges. Things are set up this way so that even if things go south on your account (a virus maybe), you don't infect the whole system (it needs the root password to execute things that can affect the install system wide). So, unless you want to easilly destroy your OS in one step, you don't make the root account your main account in Linux.

You need to switch desktop enviroments. Try KDE, I think you'll like it.

Ubuntu is a good choice if you're a beginner (which you clearly are). Install Ubuntu, get to know the OS and eventually you'll see what's wrong with it and why most people are talking trash about it 😁.
They've mostly gone digital as well... at least around here.
Today's computers? Probably 10 years or so.
There was a link there? Sorry, missed it.
I think it's the video aspect of the podcasts nowadays. Back in the day, they used to be just audio, but now, you can add video sponsor blocks and stuff like that, so that made them more appealing to people that want to make a few bucks online, plus video as a media is a lot more powerful than just audio.
My 2 cents, doesn't mean I'm right.
Battery-electric is a way to move power. You still need to generate power in the first place - and perpetual motion would be great for the grid, for ships, everything. It just doesn't work.
I wasn't talking about perpetuum mobile, I was talking about the magnets actually spending their magnetic energy... you would have to magnetize them again from time to time.
Nice comic BWT, funny 😂.
Nah, I'm a late adopter 😂. Actually, a friend of mine got me into it, he installed Gentoo (his first distro if you can believe that 😂), but that was too scary for me at the time (2004, 2005 I think 🤔) so I used Mandrake for a while. Then switched back to Win7 and used that for a while and then got back to Linux and now I dual boot with LTSC 2019 (mainly for stuff that are too hard to transfer to Linux, like software that is dependant on hardware to work properly and meant only to be run on Windows).
Yeah, I know about the OEM keys, they're basically resells, all of them 😂, including the LTSC ones... but why bother when you got KMS38 😂.
Yeah, you can pirate it 😂. Heck, I've never bought a single license in my life 😂.
Seeiously though, I don't think they seel it to individuals, only companies. I think you can buy a regular Enterprise license as an individual, but not an LTSC one.
That to be said, my partner still uses that Windows version and it is definitely the right thing to use, if needing Windows.
It's the only thing I recommend using IF you just had to use Windows and there was no other way around the issue. In any other scenario, I recommend Linux with Wine.
Have no idea as well... especially when it equates to loving a human (giving the cat the attention intended for a toddler).
