idgi, who is that?
Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂
I don’t know your use case, but I’m less skilled with computers than you (I’m currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.
I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually
Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I’ve never looked back
I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬
They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it’s very straight forward to use, and means you don’t have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn’t drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc
When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn’t copy my mp3s over, and that’s the last time i ever bought an apple product
Yeah I don’t see the problem here
My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.

What’s with the “Ha ha ha ha” cartoon figure at the bottom
I think so, I only really looked at the cheapest one
Next time I’m having a bad day at work I’ll remember this. At least the whole world can’t look up in the sky and see my fuck up!
Try Usenet, you don’t need to worry about a VPN that way
I’ve been using the free version of protonmail for years, and I’ve thought about paying but it’s just so expensive! Even with the current deal it’s still €40 a year for the lowest tier, budget email subscription. The next step up is €104. Then after 12 months it goes back to full price.
Convincing myself to pay that for something I’ve never paid for before is a huge ladder to climb for me
I just wanna say I appreciate people here making intelligent, good faith arguments on both sides without resorting to black or white thinking or getting too aggressive/ abusive.
Frugal Usenet works great for me
