dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

My old laptop is a surface pro with a crapped-out battery that got progressively slower and slower until one day just decided to never boot again. I recently flashed it with Ubuntu and the kernel for surface laptops that allows for the touchscreen. Runs as good as new.

Battery is still shot, so I only use it as a media center to cast old video games to my TV, but I was thinking of scrapping it completely, and now I have a pretty good tablet to stream stuff.

Similar to why I switched my laptop. It wouldn't react to any input for sometimes up to 5 minutes. I thought it was just broken beyond repair. Put on MINT to test it, now I can finally use the old mill again!
