First thing I wanna implore you do is create a separate partition on your boot drive for your /home folder. Distro hopping is super normal when you’re starting out, and by separating your home folder makes distro hopping very easy.

Bazzite, like others suggested, is your best bet at a first attempt because it’s much harder to cause irreparable damage with a stray terminal command.

All of the apps you listed should work just fine under Linux. Bazzite ships with Steam and Lutris (it’s a game store aggregator) to get you started with gaming. Use Microsoft 365 online or one of the open sourced alternatives like libreoffice for office apps. The rest of the programs should either be able to be run with wine/bottles/WinApps.

A 1050 is kinda paltry by today’s standards, so just don’t expect a big bump in gaming performance or super snappy emulation.

Option 2, with more emphasis on the login component. My files are safe, but I don’t wanna bother my buddy to 2FA me every time I need to reinstall Linux for whatever reason.

Omg thank you. I’m gonna try this out tomorrow

New problem: they have 2FA as well

Yes, lol. Long story short,I don’t have the password because it’s a shared account

It is; I want to reinstall my OS without losing my Dropbox install

I’m not, I’m on xubuntu at the moment

If only they had wideband in the US ☹️

Québécois swears are literally just church vocabulary words. You could probably just use any church vocabulary in place of the common ones and I’d understand what you meant.

Don’t give me away so easily you cocksucka

Yes. I grew up in the Boston area.

They’re the shit. I have a hidden one on my bicycle and one on my keychain. 10/10 would buy again. (It’s worth it to spend the few extra dollars on first party trackers with Samsung/Apple btw)

Posting here to see if anyone comes up with a WifiDirect client that’s platform agnostic.

I’ve had a good experience with localsend between iOS/macOS/Linux desktop, but it’s overall platform agnostic and natively built for everything.

Localsend

Holy shit yes. Also while we’re at it please guys add an option to put the timeline in just seconds instead of minutes:seconds

I try to take a page out of the playbook of a cult deprogrammer or a Darrel Davis type personality. My trips home are short (no more than a week) and I try to deescalate any hotbutton conversations. People do change, but unfortunately some people harden and shut off to new ideas as well. Hearing a different personality speak often helps open people up to hearing new ideas; a lot of the fascist ideology is born out of fear, miseducation, and selfishness.

Calling someone online by their IRL name.

I think sex acts are within your sexuality, not the other way around.

Probably not when you consider that there is probably a break point in there. Being super gay just means you’d under no circumstances have sex with the opposite sex, no?

I grew my hair down to my ass until it stopped growing around 25. I would’ve kept it longer, but I balded lol.
