Twilight Sparkle would totally be an Arch Linux poweruser.
Rainbow Dash would probably use a decked-out Windows PC for gaming, but fall shitty tech trends without question (AI art, NFTs, etc)
(Flim and Flam would be the ones pushing the AI art and Web3 shit)
Rarity would probably be snobbish and use a Macbook, before either raging like a beast or sobbing whenever it randomly breaks.
Fluttershy would be likely be way too scared to even use a computer, until her friends pressure her into getting a cheap Chromebook so she could at least get online. Even then, she would mostly use sites like Facebook to post about the most mundane shit imaginable, while likely unaware what exactly a "meme" is.
Pinkie Pie would be extremely reckless and use an outdated version of Windows without being aware, while constantly infecting her PC with viruses and crapware. In addition, she would probably get frequently contacted by tech support scammers, think they're actually from tech support, but annoy them too much with her Pinkie Pie antics for them to really do anything.
Applejack would be total luddite who only upgrades Windows very reluctantly. She doesn't even like to use her computer that much, but when she does, she just wants it to "get shit done" without having to deal with annoying gimmicks.

ZINE CONTEST (with prize)(≧▽≦)
I have a Zine contest from NOW until Feb 24th (autism holiday). Pls read more about how to submit, the prizes and why I'm so hyped.
This is for BOTH people who consider themselves artists and those who don't. It doesn't have to be a comic. A ZINE CAN BE ANYTHING :D It can be a tech tutorial, it can be a comic, it can be flash fiction, it can be a local history guide, it can be Street Fighter II Turbo strategies printed out to be left in arcades, it can be anything!
The video below explains the process better than I could probably in text (I suck at conveying thing through text). My video also has a tl;dr that I would appreciate everyone read before submitting.
There's some other stuff below, but if you're more visual, like not the reading type (like me) then feel free to skip and just head to the video description to jump in.
Also, you may know me for my "Raspberry Pis are for paypigs" video where I try to advocate for the upcycling for ewasted Chromebooks.
I've been into the idea of leaving around Zines for a while. Every time I walk into a coffee shop or local business, I think "wow, I really would wish there was something cool to read." So I started making things to put there: 8 small 2.5 inch panels, folded into one 2.5 inch square for those interested to unravel. I put them inside of these origami boxes that a learned how to make, ones with a logo printed on them.
So far I've made: a zine template (I call it a dog ear zine for some reason), a template for the box to put them in, a zine about using yt-dlp, a zine about a reindeer working IT (along with a collaborator) and (coming soon) a zine about a monster in a cave doing stuff. All of the odg LibreOffice Draw template files to make your own zines or print out mine are on my archive.org page (linked at top of my Tumblr).
I'd really like other people to try this 8 panel 2.5 inch zine format, and I'm willing to bribe people with sweet, sweet Gabe Newell bucks to do it. You can submit as many zines in this format as you want. Just make sure they're printed out and have pictures of both the front and back (plus other pictures if you want) . In the video I mentioned you can use my submit page, which is probably the easiest for me to keep track of. You can also use the #dogearzine hashtag to enter. Please read the video description before entering, though (which includes Youtube's and Tumblr's terms of service, though this is more of a youtube thing).
Also, and this is completely unrelated, there's a lot more to me than just the faux-clickbait Wojak thumbnails. I like doing tech, wrestling, japanese, vidya and other videos, but I love to throw art in whenever I can shoehorn it in. Like, the video where I go over inchworm, butterfly, colors 3D and flipnote sudomemo - colors 3D on a hacked 3DS was my sister's first experience with digital at (she's moved up to an iPad and Procreate). So, it hold a special place in might heart, as a lot of the things I talk about do. I made a Whomp video because I miss Ronnie. I made a Rockbox video because I wished more people used dedicated MP3 players and knew where and how to download music. I want to help people do interesting things. And I also want to thank anyone who read all of this. You are cool. I hope everyone who's able to can compete in this contest and challenge themselves to get out of their comfort zone, to try something new! Also, also, thanks for liking these posts, people on Tumblr. You all have cool blogs. (^o^)丿

I do not recommend Chromebooks
the OS is locked down in ways a PC is not and wiping the OS to install a Linux based alternative isn't all that simple.
hate how Google keeps pushing awful changes without the option to disable new "features". imagine an OS like this
the MAIN reason to never buy a chromebook is because they put the power button directly above the backspace key
typing something with purpose and fervency? well guess what? that mistake you made and tried to delete accidentally powered down your chromebook and now you lost everything you just typed. of course they blame this on incompatible hardware (like the bios has control over it) but this is demotrably not true. when the OS freezes, you MUST hold the power button down and fast tapping will do nothing. fast tapping the power button twice ONLY poweres down the computer when the OS is fully active. and I think they said something about acpi but basically everyone knows they can work with that just like we do on every other linux based OS on the planet. when there's a problem they don't feel like fixing, they don't even try to bs the end user and call it a feature, they straightup lie to people and say that it can't be fixed. heck, they make their money selling bulk contracts to schools and orgs where the person making the buying decision will never even use one. why should they care what the end user thinks when at home users only make up a fraction of their userbase?
