I’m Back to Linux

My hatred for Microsoft, disdain for Apple, and my generally anger at Google has reached all new heights this year. I decided to look into Linux again.

You can put an entire Linux operating system onto a USB thumb drive and boot from that, which lets you try the OS without installing it. I decided to try Pop!_OS because it’s pretty (lol). While I was trying the Pop!_OS out I was shocked to discover my Kingston SSD was failing! That was the hard drive that had my Windows 10 installation on it!

I immediately got myself a new hard drive (Samsung EVO this time). I could have installed Windows 10 on there but I thought “What the heck, let’s go for it!” and installed Pop!_OS instead. 

It’s been a surprisingly wonderful experience. 

Pop!_OS is somewhere between Windows 10 and ChromeOS in terms of user interface. It hits all the right notes for me, in that sense. I really like how it functions, easy and it’s very pretty! I like it way more than Windows 10 anyway.

Linux has gotten better with gaming. As long as it’s not multiplayer, a lot more games are built to run natively now. Valve’s Steam has a nifty compatibility feature for Windows-only games, which gets better and better every year.  GameHub and Lutris fill the gap lefts by Steam. I’m not going to say Linux is AS GOOD as Windows, but it’s good enough for me.

Some years ago I went from drawing enthusiasts to barely drawing hobbyist. What that meant is that I don’t draw, specifically digitally, much anymore. Some of the best drawing apps are on Windows/Mac. What little drawing I do doesn’t require anything that fancy. And for that, Krita is MORE than enough (almost too much) for my needs.

Speaking of that, I have a Yiynova monitor tablet that had become useless on Windows 10. Every time Windows updated, it broke the drivers. I have no idea why and no amount of searching gave me any answers. And 2020 was the Great Windows Update disaster. It felt like every month was a new update... or two. Making my tablet useless until I got around to reinstalling the drivers (which required 2 reboots). 

But on Pop!_OS the drivers are included AND THEY WORK PROPERLY. Now I don’t have to wonder if my monitor tablet will work after I update something. It just will!

In general, native-Linux apps, open source (FOSS) programs, have come a long way in 5 years time. They all feel a lot more polished and comparable to, if not better than in some cases, their Windows, closed sourced counter parts. You can get just about everything from the Pop Shop (similar to Google Play or Apple Store, only not evil).

All this to say, I really enjoy Linux. If you’re like me and just using your computer for office type stuff, consider switching. It’s free, it’s usually easy, and it’s more secure than Windows or Apple. Lastly, and most importantly, no one is harvesting vast amounts of information from you to sell to 3rd party companies (even if only indirectly).

the male and female bodies are fundamentally different, the way people think their is just one human body and if you add specific bits and pieces, the body becomes male, add different pieces it becomes female is so absurd. you think a couple of injections will just cause the body to mold itself into the other sex? that’s where this sex is a spectrum idea comes from right? you can add a spectrum of bits to your basic human.

you really think i can’t clock the average male from the average female, you really think gender identity is about more than sex and sex stereotypes, you really think sex is a spectrum and mutable, you really think biological males don’t have an advantage over females, you really think that gender is some spiritual essence/soul/feeling/conscious/identity, you really think sexism is based on gender, you really think all females have anything in common but biology, i suggest you f off.

thinking about my optometrist who was treating my eye infection and said “if it hurts, you can rinse your eye with boiled water. look at me - look at me. i want you to understand that i mean water that has been boiled and has since cooled down. not boiling water. do you understand?” like i’m so grateful for this man ensuring that I wouldn’t destroy my eyes by pouring boiling water in it, because it is an adequate assessment of my intelligence

I was searching for some pretty Hanukkah gifs to schedule a post tomorrow wishing my Jewish followers Happy Hanukkah and I found a fit/shape/body building site that posted this

And I thought to myself, I simply must show my Jewish followers fit Menorah Man
