That was a joy. Thank you for sharing

As someone also starting to get into Linux I appreciate these posts

Perhaps other people have said it but this is the quote I'm familiar with:
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

Brain off. Guns go pew

Welcome. I just started using linux recently myself and have been loving it. I would Definitely recommend checking out all the desktop environments to see what works best for you! I've done a bit of shopping and I think I've landed on KDE, myself.
Good luck with the transition!

I just installed 6 months ago and I don't feel any need or desire to do a full reinstall if I can avoid it

I've been playing a whole heck of a lot of Celeste lately. Been having a good time with some modded content after clearing all the vanilla content

LEMMiNO is extremely good. His older content is neat but his newer stuff is highly polished 30 min-1 hour ish long documentaries on miscellaneous mysteries like Jack the ripper or DB Cooper

I would want to continue to write my scripts with sh or bash, but is this something worth adopting for just regular shell navigation?
I've thought about it previously but it not being a default shell makes it reasonably less appealing for me.

That's great. Thanks a bunch. That's what I was thinking but glad to get clarification

I've been immensely impressed with DOS2 AI. If an enemy is sleeping, another enemy will use part of its turn to hit the enemy to wake it up. There were several instances where I paused and just stared awestruck

I've seen your comments about reading digital media but if you can get an eink screen (kobo, amazon paper white, etc) it Doesn't feel like a screen at all. Then you can look up words right there. Ive started doing it every once in awhile as a native English speaker since its so convenient.

That said I'm gonna start picking up French again (hopefully) and that's gonna be tough because my vocabulary was always lacking in French and I haven't really read anything in French in years.

I hope you enjoy crooked kingdom. I really liked both books. All the characters are so cool :)

There's plenty to read up on but I think starting with any is a good place. You'll find stuff you dislike. I'd recommend setting up ventoy on a USB (it will let you have several linux images on one thumb drive) and testing out most importantly the desktop environment (DE).

Main ones being KDE, GNOME, and cinnamon that comes with Mint (which is a great first distro to test).

If you end up having questions feel free to DM me

Nice write up. It looks like you used "it's" instead of "its" in a couple of spots but I didn't see any other grammatical mistakes.

Good luck with future posts!

Most reached EOL in may of this year.

99% sure it's in the books

I was literally just looking this up 30 minutes ago. Incredible timing. Thanks for sharing

That does seem to be the case. That makes a fair amount of sense. Thanks for the extra input :)

I was about to say... I don't wanna touch the one from '79 with a 10 foot pole lol. They may be indestructible, but at what cost

Sure thing!

Magnetic pucks (make sure to select the MG-01, not MG-08, those are tiny little things)

Magsafe stickers. Im currently using ones that came with the pucks but I was told those aren't great and I bought extras anyway.

Z mount. There are a bunch of these around. These ones are plastic but Neweer has aluminium ones if that tickles your fancy.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have more questions
