I have had people tell me " I dont feel like building my own OS from scratch " I’m like what are you even talking about?

This comes up with every windows EOL announcement and it never really ends up with everyone switching to linux

Who does that hurt exactly? Not me seems like that will be your problem.

Linux is not really that hard to get used to. Welcome to the club the water is fine.

Osmand+ still gulf of mexico… Just sayin.

And yet you can borrow anything from the local library for free and its considered totally fine and not pirating.

Honestly i didn’t even know this was still a thing

Okay any time I mention this product I get roasted but I don’t care because I like it. There is a program called aptik and basically it backs up all your settings and home folder and then can be restored if you need to reinstall. https://store.teejeetech.com/product/aptik/

It’s a one time purchase. I bought my copy like maybe almost 10 years ago and still use it. I used to have a script that I would maintain manually for this sort of thing but this is much easier. I also like that it will update strings and stuff for you when going from one version of a distro to another or between distros. You can also easily go in and uncheck things if you don’t want them or only revert certain parts of the backup and not others. it has 100% saved my butt a few times especially where I had some weird config on a piece of software and after a restore it worked just like before. In my opinion this is also a better option than a diskimage because of the customization of the restore and the fact that you can do it I guess my biggest issue with it is it’s not free software which is kind of annoying however it’s just one dude and the license is very bare bones so it’s not like he is trying to get away with anything with this tool.

As someone else said its free libre open source software. Not my term I just use it because it tends to piss off the least amount of people.

Its osmc updating on the veroV

Starlabs starlite tablet looks really nice. I actually just ordered one the other day. I don’t have it yet so I can’t give you a review but from what I have read it’s pretty nice. It’s an Intel machine, upgradable, running coreboot so the compatibility should be high.

thank you at the time I posted the link to invidious was not working and I didn’t think to check peertube.

I’ve had a brother laser printer for 8 years now. Recently my wife was asked “can we get a color printer” and I said but we have at least 5+ years of toner left in this thing!
