Unrelated, but I hate when people use percentages like that. You are welcome for my unsolicited opinion

Do a web search for 'color pallet' and pick one that looks good with your black replacing the darkest color

I can appreciate that. Especially if the files in question are of sentimental value.

I would suggest transferring your files to a new drive anyway because of bit rot.

Being the typical helpful (pushy and self-important) Linux user, I might add there is no reason you can´t transfer them to Linux 😜

If it isn't for professional reasons you absolutely can't avoid, I would switch wholesale. As a once famous song said "Freedom isn't free. It costs folks like you and me. Andif you don't put in your buck o five who will?"

The correct answer is no 🙅‍♀️

Did someone spraypaint this before removing stickers from it? Because if that is the case hell yea buy it. You will never agaín find a laotop with such style ever again. Especially at that price.

Not to disagree but mozilla and firefox are not the same thing

A good reason to walk around with a label maker

Uh oh here we go again... spaces are better than tabs! Fight me! The shirt is coming off! Granular white space beats fewer character per file!

You could turn it off and turn it back on every X period of time, but that doesn't guarantee something doesn't go wrong in between. It sounds like you don't have alot of data relatively speaking. Is there a reason not to keep it on your present machine and do the above? Cost? IIRC you can get a 1 tb m.2 for under $150.

Can you flip the switch so to speak?

We are not worthy!

 

Obviously, a bit of clickbait. Sorry.

I just got to work and plugged my surface pro into my external monitor. It didn't switch inputs immediately, and I thought "Linux would have done that". But would it?

I find myself far more patient using Linux and De-googled Android than I do with windows or anything else. After all, Linux is mine. I care for it. Grow it like a garden.

And that's a good thing; I get less frustrated with my tech, and I have something that is important to me outside its technical utility. Unlike windows, which I'm perpetually pissed at. (Very often with good reason)

But that aside, do we give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the "things that just work". Often they do "just work", and well, with a broad feature set by default.

Most of us are willing to forgo that for the privacy and shear customizability of Linux, but do we assume too much of the tech we use and the tech we don't?

Thoughts?
