Yup - I was thinking the fast train, which isn’t fast at all compared to the rest of the world. I think that one is only once or twice a day - could be wrong though. Price aside, it’s not a terrible experience.
I’d rather dig my eyes out with a dull spoon than take the others. Snail’s pace and stops every 5 min.
San Francisco has a pretty good bus/trolley system. There might be other cities with decent busses but I’m unaware of them.
Some major cities like New York, Boston, Philly, Chicago have acceptable subways, and commuter rails. You can probably get a daily train from one city to the next. Example: you can take a train from Boston to NY once a day - it’s fairly ok, and probably preferable than driving for most people.
Most cities have busses that suck, and literally zero trains and subways.
Most Europeans don’t realize how big the US is, and how much of it is quite rural. It doesn’t make sense to build a rail to service the few dozen families in east bumfuck nowhere.
Getting a license to drive is, generally speaking, pretty easy from most states. Usually just a written test and a road test where you just have to drive around the block without breaking any rules.
Some city dwellers survive without cars, but they are kind of stuck in the city. When they want to get out, they’ll rent a car for the day.
I dunno, I recently bought two keyboards and both could do all theee, wired, wireless with the dongle, or Bluetooth with no dongle. I have a keychron and love it - if you’re looking for desktop keyboard, that’s a great choice although pricy. Logitech makes some good travel ones too that operate in all three modes. Try those brands if you’re having trouble finding Bluetooth keyboards.
I have a number of Bluetooth keyboards and they all seem to work just fine with the steam deck. I think you can pick the keyboard you want style wise and you’ll be fine.
Same I run the flatpak app on fedora workstation 42 with zero issues.
Has that ever happened across drives? Without user error?
Every Linux distro I’ve ever used has been pretty damn specific about where it installs boot, and respectful of all other drives and boot loaders.
I’ll concede defeat, but I find your claim hard to believe.
Lots of good advice here. I’ll add a bit about dual booting.
the problem with dual booting is when you use the same physical hard drive. Windows doesn’t play nice sometimes on the same drive. Just do yourself a favor and buy a second ssd. Then you can break linux six ways to Sunday and always have a windows backup. (And if you want to be extra safe - you can just unplug your windows drive during Linux install and you can’t f up and pick the wrong drive by accident)
dual booting is nice just in case something doesn’t work - you can easily switch back to windows.
dual booting sucks because there’s very few things that don’t work in Linux - it just requires a little elbow grease to figure out. But having a windows partition right there leads to many people giving up way too early with fixing their issues.
My recommendation is always to have more than one drive in your computer. It’s YOUR computer. Regardless of what you pick as your “main” OS, you always have another spot to screw around in. Distro hop, extra storage, set up a hiveos miner, whatever. Its flexibility and screwing around with other things helps you understand what’s YOUR computer vs what is Microsoft’s OS.
LOL
I’ve been using it that long too, and I suppose you’re right.
Ya… Go f yourself Microsoft. You used to be the cool kid in town. Now you’re trash.
I bought a psvr2 for my ps5. It’s really impressive but has three major flaws.
Same - I can reach all parts. If I couldn’t, I’d grab a something on a stick.
+1 this is the answer.
Third for fedora. IMO the new “it just works” distro in place of Ubuntu - but a little more current than Debian.
We used to be cool.
Seconded on Monty Python - he should feel terrible about that travesty.
Also a shower per day minimum for everyone is necessary and that’s the hill I’m dying on. Clean your stinky arse up.
Obligatory “learn to use your computer and install another OS” post. You’ll probably find that your computer becomes MORE useful, not less.
I’m out of the loop. Why not virtualbox?
I failed a class in college. It was impossible to make the credits up due to scheduling conflicts/the tight nature of my curriculum’s scheduling. I had to miss my graduation in the spring, and go back to school in the fall for one semester for one class.
I am now a C-suite executive at a mid sized engineering firm.
Don’t worry about it at all. Take the extra time to breathe, get other things in your life in order, and hell-maybe just have a little fun too. You’ll be fine.
Its main purpose is to prevent malware from booting. In my experience its main purpose seems to be preventing me from booting things I want like ventoy flash drives, nvidia drivers, and Linux distros that don’t support it. Same goes for tpm module. Its main purpose seemed to be the switch keeping win 10 from upgrading. I turned them both off and haven’t felt the strong need to turn them back on yet.
That said, and my bad computing habits aside, you probably should turn them ON. I’m not sure they will do all that much realistically speaking, but if it isn’t getting in your way (and it shouldn’t), then ON isn’t a bad default state to be in.
Ah, good to know!
