Got my parents a new computer for Christmas. I didn't feel like acting as their 24/7 tech support so I let it with the Windows 11 that it came with. Yesterday they couldn't get their webcam and microphone to work at all for our weekly family videocall. We ended up having the videocall on Signal. I believe they would face less troubles with Debian at this point.
Dude: "Damn... I really want to be able to see the inside of my computer. Why won't anyone help me install windows to the case?"
Too bad my usb stick can only store one distro at a time.
Tough love is the realest love
Solution: install windows for them, but complain and evangelize at every opportunity. You'll be so insufferable they'll never ask you again.
I do that every time I have to use windows. But I think my boss does not like that...
i installed linux mint on my sisters household PC last week.
my dad did his usual grumblings about "it should be windows" and i just said "i've been out of the windows ecosystem completely for the last 5 years and partially for another 3 years beyond that. i no longer provide support for windows, if you want them to have windows you need to support it"
he went quiet after that.
Me with 40$ 1tb external ssd with ventoy be like
I always install openSUSE without removing my buttplug. Or any extra USB cables.
I dare you to use it for bios updates. Better don't clensh your butt or you'll brick your board
Two bricks would be made in that case. >!In that PC case.!<
Oh yeah I have that too. Just sit on the PC case while you are installing. ( οΏ£β½οΏ£)
Idk i think if it was my usb stick it would fry it
Uhm... Where can I find that? For a friend, of course! (β ββ α΄β ββ βΏβ )
Well, I only know of one and you'll need 12 angry men to pull it out.
Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).
I like spinny media.
I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven't used it for a looooong time because it's no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.
Much cooler than ventoy, no?
I used to have hundreds of movies, games and a couple linux distros on DVDs and CDs.
I threw everything out years ago. It was cumbersome and it sucked. It was a waste of time.
You have all that up your ass!? ( ; οΎΠοΎ)
I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.
Impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's 256GB Ventoy USB with 118 Linux distros and 36 ISO boot tools up his ass
