I’m so sorry man. I hope you find some happiness or at least less misery sooner rather than later. I’m about your age, closed my business a little over a year ago (covid stuff) and while I spent most of the “free” time working on renovating our house I’m at a point where I’ll need to start looking for a job. I’m not thrilled with (or perhaps dreading) the idea.
Fantastic! I thought that communism was impossible to achieve in a state, but if it is only achievable in ‘no state’, then we have to come up with a word more negative than ‘impossible’.
I appreciate your write up, but I think you replied to a different comment from some person in Estonia who might or might not have lived under that regime. Either way, Marxism-Leninism had been drilled into me for decades.
Dude, you don’t know the first thing about communism. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” It means you don’t take more than you need. “Rich communist” is an oxymoron.
Please explain communism for those who don’t understand. I lived in a communist country so it’s not for my benefit, but others might be curious.
Well, there are Libertarians and libertarians. From your username I gather you’re a Libertarian and not just a GOP moron libertarian who might hate corporations but will defend their “right” not to be regulated, while receiving government subsidies.
Do you work for Elon Musk? If so get a different job. Are you making a shitload of money? Is not, get a different job. If yes, spare us your crying about delivery fees. Are you Elon Musk? If yes, fuck you. If no, get a different job. I mean you sound miserable and have no life. I’d rather be homeless than live like that.
I remember being sick, when swallowing and even talking caused an extreme pain, and fantasising about drowning, I’d shower the inside of my mouth just to wash away the foul feeling of dryness.
I’ve tried a few distos, but as for you, opensuse is the way to go for me. I got a new ssd to replace my old hdd and it’s super fast. The new OS is like a shiny new toy that will keep me entertained for awhile. In the end, I’m just a normal person and won’t need most of the features, but it’s nice to have them.
To be honest, I don’t really care that much. Once upon a time I got excited about updates and new features, now I just want things to work. I enjoy exploring Linux and how it’s different, I like seeing the updates come in and it makes me feel safer, but at the end of the day, I’m just a normal user who needs much less than the OS offers.
The ssd made a world of difference! I don’t think the old hdd is dying, the system still worked well with the original win7, but now everything is blazing fast.
I’ll keep the desktop with ubuntu and kde plasma and I’ve installed openSuse tumbleweed on the laptop. The ssd made a huge difference. I’ve made it dual boot with win7, which I’ve reinstalled on the laptop and they’re both blazing fast. It’s a steep learning curve, but I like the freedom of Linux versus the big brother approach of Windows.
Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca). Incredibly fragrant and sweet. Regular strawberryies can’t compare.
In that case I’ll most likely stick with opensuse on the laptop.
Thanks, I’ve ordered ssd and I’m trying opensuse now. Puppy linux sounds great for persistent usb set up. I’ll definitely try it.
Thanks, I have installed tumbleweed today and I like it. It is much faster too. I’m unsure about learning two different sets of commands just when I’m switching. I guess I have time to decide until my ssd arrives.
Well, I’ve ordered ssd and installed openSuse tumbleweed. I like it and it’s much snappier too, but the command line is different to ubuntu and I don’t think i want to learn two sets of commands. I guess I’ll have to decide which way I want to go.
I misremembered the specs it’s actually i7-2630m, which indicates that I thought I got the laptop later than I thought. I’ve ordered a ssd so hopefully that will improve the speed.
I’ve ordered an ssd so hopefully that will do the trick. Meanwhile I installed openSuse and it improved the speed significantly.
Thanks for mentioning beeper. It’s an app I’ve been looking for.
