  • How about dual boot, but the Windows OS is never online?

    I used to be Linux only, but after I’ve got a new machine with Win11 preinstalled, I went dual boot " justfor now until I got all my apps running on Linux". Well, it’s been a while and I still didn’t figure out how to run some apps, so dual boot turned out to be a bit more permanent.

    However, since I don’t have WiFi and Windows starts sucking my mobile data once connected, I established a strict ‘Windows must never be connected to my hotspot’ policy. So it never updates.

    I still plan to go back to Linux only, because I just like open source and dislike Windows for spyware and thinking it would be smarter than the user (which in my case is probably true, but still, I take my pride in being able to screw up my own OS if I make a mistake). But at the moment I’m out of ideas for certain things not running on Linux, so my machine is still punished with a secundary Win OS.





  • I actually watched that episode last night, so that post was kinda jumping at me. What are the odds…

    Sagan, a real teacher. Not only smart, there are quite a few smart people. But also able to make something complicated easily understood. To make something abstract sound straight. To make something minds can’t grasp comprehensible. A beautiful ability!













  • I hope I just had bad experience, but I have the aqua with backlight. About 2 years in, the display got terrible; hardly any contrast, especially in the edges. About 3 years in, the rubber buttons just crumbled away; so no more waterproof.

    Can’t read anyways anymore, the contrast by now is like egg white on snow white. Didn’t mistreat, it was always stored dry and in no direct sunlight.
