It's been fun. I've had it for a few months and I love it. Currently trying to figure out why my PDFs get corrupted and how to fix it - I'm pretty sure it has to do with signatures but not completely sure. The other thing is that I was having trouble figuring out how to hibernate my computer, so it was sleeping all the time (except when off or in use), but then one day it just started hibernating. Not sure how that happened.

I chose Fedora with the KDE desktop and it's great. I'm not entirely sure I understand the differences in the desktop choices but it works for me for now.

I'm trying to get my partner to switch but they're worried about it not being compatible with/not being able to find suitable replacements for certain Windows software used for work. So basically I just need to get better with Linux before they switch lol

I aspire to be like you! I finally am going to have a DVD player and I am absolutely THRILLED. No joke. It's going to be fantastic.

Not as fantastic as an old VCR since it's like 2% harder to fast forward through the ads. But pretty close!

Did mine a few weeks ago. The only part I'm stuck on is OneDrive, which I unfortunately need. I got access to my personal files but not the shared files. The other part is I still need to download all of my mods...which I am not looking forward to 😆 but let me just say it is so nice to have a computer that actually works! It's older so it was getting impossibly slow.

Between Linux and the new IRS software I am feeling spoiled.

Put it on a VHS, then use one of those VCRs that removes the ads for you.

Every party at my last job was a potluck. Except the Christmas party. The Christmas party was secretly mandatory though.

They both start with C, so it sounds legit.

What really sucks is my local politicians are very outwardly partisan, even though the positions are supposed to be nonpartisan. The surprising thing is that there are more liberalish residents than I expected. Unfortunately it's just not enough to change what we get.

Based on some of these other site names, you probably don't actually want to know
