That’s so great that a computer that old is usable instead of being binned.

You could do it on your current one. No reason to wait. I’m going strong with Linux as my primary OS for 3 years.

Mine is remapped to Ctrl since I use that way more often.

None. I’ve been windows free for over 3 years. Had to give up some software for alternatives. Switching from Lightroom to Darkroom wasn’t difficult, though it’s not as polished.

Dunno if Autocad is a major dependency for your job, I use freeCAD instead and it works. Of course there will be differences and you’d have to relearn how to do things.

Have fun! Whatever you do, if you run into an issue you can’t solve, stick with it. You’ll learn and become better over time.

I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now and it’s been great. Had some hiccups here and there but they were solved with some searching.

YouTube made more money than Disney in 2925. Tell me why unskippable ads are justified.

Unfortunately it’s a Twitter link but here’s a video of the shooting.

I’ll just leave you with my experience.

I used to be obese. During the pandemic I started tracking my food intake via one of the many apps. It helped me lose about 60 pounds. I was more fit, liked the way I looked a lot more, and also took up biking as a form of exercise.

Fast forward a few years, and I gained a lot of the weight back. I’m not as heavy as I once was, but I’ve got about 40 pounds to lose now. Started dropping weight again by tracking my food intake religiously.

Vomiting or pooping will not help you. Start by evaluating the food you keep in your house. Get rid of any temptations like cookies or chips. Make a meal plan and learn how to cook at home. Look at a food tracking app (I use Cronometer at the moment), and start to track every thing you eat. If you can keep your daily calorie intake at a deficit of 500 you WILL lose weight at a rate of 1 pound a week.

Weight loss is a sustained goal, and you should be prepared to make long term lifestyle changes and stick to it. It’s not an easy thing to do but you can do it.

Apple didn’t have a stylus, but there were third party styluses with rubber tips available. It worked well for its time.

I use this DAILY!

When I went back to college about 10 years ago, I did everything on an iPad. From note taking to studying. Everything was done digitally and synced to online backups.

If you’re not opposed to something hosted outside of your control, 1Password is pretty good. Syncs across devices, has user management, vaults can be shared with other users, and it’s available everywhere.

Never mind, this is the privacy community. I don’t think 1Password fits if you want a self hosted solution.

Then enjoy windows (unfortunately). You have no other option unless you buy those games again on a Xbox or PlayStation console.

I had issues with the steam flatpak, but installing it directly works. Same thing happened with slack and my browser.

You absolutely don’t need to know what that means, and you don’t have to wait for it either. Those are specific things some users want on one desktop environment/window manager, and not necessary to run Linux.

Jumping if you want to and experience it for yourself. I’ve been happily gaming on Linux for 3 years now.

I second this. I run opnsense on a protectli

Ok. Let’s go with it being ads. It’s a free open source project that’s absolutely worth using. Are you going to crucify them for it? Wanna donate for its development?

Yessir! Fzf is pretty much indispensable to me now.

Those projects contribute the bulk of funds for the development of fzf.

It’s normal to credit them and I’ve seen that done on multiple open source projects.
