TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.
you’re going to walk into your cave, and find your power animal
I couldn’t pick red if I wanted. Something happened with the USB when I flashed it and most of its space was unusable so I could use linux. And the fact I can’t use games with anti- cheat, I don’t know if that changed though
You can play most games with AC. There’s only a handful that don’t work. Kernel-level AC, for example, obviously won’t work if they don’t release a Linux version (which you should probably avoid installing). There’s also some Chinese games with their own AC that isn’t supported yet, and that’s a choice they’ve made.
Game pass cloud works in a browser on linux too.
Aw did your mum buy you a Dell for doing well at school? 😂
I’m not a fan of Dell either, but it beats many other brands.
This only counts for their business machines, though.
*only if it’s a business machine as far as I know. A friend who’s working for a company selling those B2B keeps telling me how often they get XPS returned, apparently modern variants just keep failing. Latitudes on the other hand seem almost indestructible.
Wow, why do you feel the need to be rude about it.
Dells are reliable and high quality machines, sure they’re no Thinkpads but some of them are business quality and they’re all better then HP or Asus
Latitudes and then XPS are the business-class, I think. I have a couple XPS Studios that have long outlived their usefulness. Integrated video, that’s why they survived the bad BGA era. ;)
Do you get laid by being an asshole on the internet?
Why are both of the USB drives red?
Because choice is an illusion.
Both are Linux.
I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it’s just red USB.
How did that happen?
Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.
I’ve heard of being blocked from a specific service like Xbox Live but never the whole of Microsoft. How would people get Windows updates? It’s crazy.
It’s not all of Microsoft, you just can’t download ISOs from their website.
Fair enough
Talk to your kids about Linux before someone else does.
Sex PSAs are nothing in comparison
You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.Ah, shit, TempleOS.
Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it’s just a few MB.
I look at the cool elephant whenever I’m feeling down
Plot twist it was really clonezilla.
“How come my typing fingers hurt?”
“you’ve never used them before.”
Fingering the rabbit hole?
Dude, you’re getting a dell …
And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it…
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!
Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.
Although I formatted the hard drive and sold the PC to a secondhand electronic shop, that PC is still part of the 5G Vax botnet today.
That PC has Remote Vax™ Technology to Vaxxxxxxxxxxxx your kids
RFK will stop it
They see photos of childhood polio and say “look what they took from us“
What’s wrong with dell?
same thing that’s wrong with every brand name.
Man, I thought the dude did something really bad but he just got accused of buying weed imagine getting cancelled over an accusation
And Ubuntu at best.
People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed
pillsdrives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
some mf gonna grab both and dual boot
Hi I’m some mf
Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows
I know, they won’t, but I’m gonna keep asking anyway
I feel you
Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.
Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.
If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.
“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

Good luck with fighting dependency hell!
Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.
We are not the same.
Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it’s free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.
“But you can make your own!”
If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It’s in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.
Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.
Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it’s still much more free than snaps.
