Some do it’s up to you to pick the ones that have open drivers.

Using timeshift would be perfect for this. I run sid and use this all the time to restore back to a snapshot on a bad upgrade.

Lol i see these over and over and the conclusion is always the same. They really are looking for Debian but they never mention it as an option.

If you like debian and just need a newer kernel you could just add backports to your debian install then install the kernel during the install process.

The best advice I can give you is to switch to Linux is don’t right away. Switch the applications you use to open source or Linux compatible alternatives that also run on windows. Then after you get used to those on windows then make the switch.

I would also recommend not dual booting at first since it’s too easy to jump ship at the slightest issue vs sticking with it to figure out the issue just like you would with a problem on windows. It’s a real thing I have experienced it in reverse as a long time Linux user that tried Windows 11 i kept jumping back to Linux every time I ran into issues that caused frustration.

At this point i don’t think any tech article is written by a human

The hollywood package is also great for this

I mean they call it out in the article that it’s free and open source. Hey it might get someone looking for freeware to get gimp instead.

John Landis would disagree.

This is correct that’s why it always kills me when my fellow Americans identity as Irish or some other nationality then in the same breath be antiimmigration. I’m like you wouldn’t be here if not for immigration. Only valid antiimmigration people are native Americans. For all these shit they have been put through they get a pass.

also block chain is broken if you have enough money to buy enough nodes that verify the ledger you can add fake entries to the ledger.

Yeah I use debian + kde for decades. Debian will install your pick of DEs at install.

Debian it’s a rock solid base that can be updated automatically with minimal user oversight

Also if you have a spare hard drive laying around you could use timeshift to snapshot your install with an easy restore method to give you some confort

If everyone is normal then noone is normal and that’s okay

Chief O’Brien would be so disappointed. he wouldn’t like to be caught without a secondary backup in a crunch.

Yeah alternativeto.net works for that but there is no direct pay and install

Yeah that is his point he is trying to make at some point you just have to come to terms with that trust since you are right it’s not feasible to build your own hardware.
