I have had issues when it was copied from an old hard drive where the files were downloaded by another account name. Windows knows the account IDs don’t match so your permissions are limited. If you don’t like command line you can often go into properties , security, advanced, then use take ownership option, or select user name and check the full control option

Was it copied from an old hard drive?

Be cautious in attribution. On a different distro I had nvidia drivers installed and working. When they weren’t working It would boot to a black screen under Wayland. Anyway sorted out nvidia with Wayland. Gameplay was decent but sometimes I’d get stutter in heavy detail map areas, but later I realized there was a missing meta driver package, installing that made the system aware of switching fully to the nvidia GPU and performance improved substantially.

Switching distros sometimes provides other drivers or driver versions, which can appear like it made your system faster, when it could be on par on the other OS if the right package components installed.

The whole correlation causation scenario

Some seems an ironic ingrained superior attitude of “I ain’t needed more schoolin’ , I left school and got a good job selling ammo, ain’t nobody going wiv out ammo, so I’m good.”

And the other part is one state was paying a teacher 30k salary, in Canada it is double that pay to start and has prescribe raises based on years.

I assume they mean private equity vs privately owned. Private equity would mean you have to bow to your investor since they are paying you. Privately owners make their own decisions without needing to answer to an investor

Mines on a Pi2b with a DAC hat, access through web or android app. I suppse you could add it as a docker image.

It may be overkill for your needs. I like it because I can browse my own music library or, online stream, plus it has a slew of internet radio stations included in the free version (you can custom add others)

I use volumio, it has integration for tidal and qobuz

Chrome/google is a monopoly because they actually pay to keep Firefox and apple Browsers running. Firefoxes major funder is google. This is so Google can claim they aren’t a monopoly.

Gog is the games store most people use if they don’t want steam. https://www.gog.com/en/games

Steam isnt a single seller though. There is GOG, there is Microsoft store, and other wasys to purchase games.

UV cured resin could be any type of material cures by UV, so different plastic resin types are possible

Around then. I tried Ubuntu in 2011 maybe, and it opened to this Amazon app being stuck on desktop or something, and so I went back to Windows immediately.

Wasn’t till W10 enshitification that I tried Linux again.

India has 70 years of democracy, but according to my coworkers there are just too many people (density) to enforce laws. You shut something down, there’s another thing tomorrow

Currently it does need more scrutiny though. I have a few coworkers from India, they have tons of stories of how the corruption works there.

Get a traffic ticket, buy the cop a roadside lunch.

Want planning permission slide the civic clerk a bribe. (Apparently that position has a long waiting list, because you will make more in bribes that a doctors salary.)

Injure or kill somebody in a motor accident, offer their family (and police) a lump sum to drop charges.

Typical windows troll, doesn’t like the truth.

Ambiguous; which has the malware?

Its running uneccessary stuff for my user, like telemetry, and other preinstalled MS nonsense ai.exe, etc.

And it definetly wasn’t building indexes. LOL. I have excel installed, if I type excel in the search with app filter it can’t find it.

Also I shared a drive between windows and Linux before. Linux GNOME indexing finds stuff instantly, Windows indexed search still takes forever looking for data.

Those are all terrible suggestions lol.

Yeah Linux users can be like overzealous sport parents.

Side note if you do run into hardware issues that is not as simple as installing a package, my suggestion is try another distro. And I have had zealous users get mad at this, but I went through the same situation. I have a 2010 laptop it would not run any Debian based distro or offshoots, and I tried 8-10. They all fail during install with error, or install then and fail to boot with bios/hardware bug. So I tried Fedora and OpenSuSE and those had no problems (rpm based). So whatever was in Debian mainline and trickle down could not deal with the bug. But Fedora and SUSE gave a warning of “BIOS bug, working around it” and boot fine. Oddly enough NixOS works also.

When I described this before, I did have a slew of people saying “you just don’t know what your doing”, or " Debian isn’t the issue here". Lol. Clearly I know enough to attempt 12 or more Linux installs, and having no Debian distros work does mean Debian is the issue.

People.

I found the WebEx Team app was really good.

Mac has CLI but newer versions they kind of made it hard to navigate to

I think its more that you stated the obvious. Like saying 100% of Linux Appimages run on Linux. The reason to move from Windows, or one of them, is MS using telemetry and screen capture and other bloat that ruins the gamiglng experience due to processing power needed, you move that to a Linux machine and there’s no background garbage running.

For example my machine had dual boot, at idle windows was using 6% of processing power to do nothing. On Linux it was 0 to .5% to idle.

With windows updates I have to delete Ai.exe and Ai.DLL from the office folders or randomly ai starts hogging resources even if I have no office apps in use. Just a terrible user experience.
