  1. Mostly movies from yts . mx, and movies and tv shows from watchsomuch . to.
  2. Mostly for convenience and I think information should be free. I cam back to the high seas after they decided to have 4,758 different streaming services and kind of hate exclusive as an excuse to get you to pay for one service over another.
  3. I have a dedicated 6TB hard drive(wish I would have paid a bit extra for an 8 or 10 though). I also used it for rsync back ups but that's it.
  4. I switch back and forth between Jellyfin and Plex. Jellyfin is a bit fiddly but open, Plex "just work" but is closed source. I try to use free software as much as I can.
  5. Both JF and Plex will keep track, but I've had issues with JF if a movie or show doesn't want to run(I think it's a transcoding issue) sometimes I lose progress of my most recent watched stuff. Kind of sucks. I've had more issues with JF than with Plex which sucks.

I settled on Cinnamon after jumping around a bit. I do still like Gnome though even if both are fairly bulky DEs.

I used to use Sublime for notes and then VSCode and those types of text editors work just fine for non code stuff imo. VSCode even has syntax highlighting for Markdown so could be a plus for OP.

It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it's way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it's actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.

I was super lucky apparently because my degree's curriculum required C# and ASP.NET, on top of our CTO having a big bug up his ass and hitting the switch that disallowed Linux computers to connect to the wifi. Even connecting Macbooks was a huge headache I guess. Dude didn't fucking care and would just jerk himself off about how hardened the school's network was.

My laptop was really shitty too but I ended up running Windows 7 in a VM just to get by. But had to do a lot of bullshit between OSes and in the end, it would have just been way better if I had just bit the bullet and used Windows for the time I was there.

I'm probably an outlier and today it's probably better but if your school gets kickbacks from M$ and you are going for programming just expect it I guess.

LIbreOffice's .docx formatting sucks when going between it and M$ Word too but someone else already mentioned that.

Not gonna lie, I thought elementaryOS was gonna take off and I guess it never did. I used it on my school laptop when I was in college for most of the time there. It was fine but mostly just a sleaker looking Mint basically.

when we can resell you the same game from 15 years ago, again, at full price???

Well, there it is.

Both side should just compromise and go with 7.5 genocides.

Been using Linux for over a decade and I will never go back lol.

Right? They can say it runs locally all they want and not mention that once it's connected to the internet, telemetry kicks in.

I'd be willing to test it but I'm too busy not using Windows ever again.

This doesn't make sense. I keep getting told communism don't like the gays so communism is bad and capitalism is good because you get to have cars and 1000 types of Hershey candy bars.
