There are some companies that sell hardware with Linux pre-installed. The bigger companies that do are Dell and Lenovo. Maybe some others I am not aware of. If you want to support a smaller company that also sells Linux preinstalled, you should look into System76 and Framework. I would not be surprised if there are others as well.

If you are feeling up to it, I think it’s a great idea to watch some videos regarding installing a Linux distribution on your own and doing it that way. It isn’t very difficult (You may have to adjust some BIOS settings for example) and many distributions guide you in keeping a windows install and Linux install at the same time dual boot style if you want a back up Windows install. It will be a good first step in learning a little about how Linux works so you can figure out any issues more easily if they happen to come up.

I switched to Linux primarily last year, and other than some distro hopping to find my right fit, I haven’t looked back and I don’t plan on it.

Oh I love Cyberpunk 2077! The atmosphere is fantastic, the story is good, and the game play reminds me of immersive sims with a lot of choices to complete tasks if you pay attention and take advantage of the movement implants. Enjoy choom!

I finally picked up a Switch 2 a few days ago along with Tears of the Kingdom. I've never played it before, so I am excited to check it out!

No cream, but I will take some moon sugar with that coffee... Thank you!

Yo, GameCube PSO! Ah Yeah!

I use GrapheneOS and have reviewed a lot of the documentation in the OS and built in apps. They like to pair the words privacy and security together in that documentation. The info sheet for the chromium degoogled browser they developed called Vanadium is very focused on both aspects. I personally think the two concepts go hand in hand.

Its also the first time I've used a non-firefox type of browser in almost a decade. It feels weird, but they are good at describing why it's more secure in GrapheneOS due to its superior ability to maintain app sandboxes, which is a big reason I use the OS. Full control over what apps can see on my device.

Also, the climate control is all on smaller screen that just displays info with the climate system. The infotainment has nothing to do with the climate controls.

I highly recommend Mazda if this is something you care about. I had a 2016 Mazda 3, and now I have a 2022 Mazda 3. The infotainment is all controlled though a physical knob and buttons, the climate control is all physical buttons. I am not sure if the screen is even a touch screen... I don't think it is, but I have never attempted to touch it since I was so used to using the physical knob system in my old 2016. The physical buttons are why I picked my current 3 turbo up over the WRX I also tested. The WRX and the other Subaru's I checked out all annoyed me with forcing use of the touch screen snd buttons to change the climate settings. I hope Mazda never changes that aspect of their cars. Not sure if the other models also do this, but I don't see why they would.

You also got a letter from Mary? She died 3 years ago!

I sometimes still hum the opening theme to Silver Star Story from my time playing the OG on PSX when it released. The game is just wonderful, hopeful, and fun. Enjoy!

I agree with your statement that the ad block options are bad. If you have never heard of it, the Orion browser from the Kagi search engine company will let you download and use Firefox or Chrome extensions. I have the Firefox version of uBlock Origin installed and it does work. Maybe not as well as the Android or desktop browser versions, but it does the job. All free as well.

lol, I think they are saying that the “Eclipse” died after Gen 2 stopped in 2000.

And I have to say that I agree. Gen 2 was the best Eclipse design.

A funky groove to fuck fight to!

Me reading this :

1st line : yeah, I've never noticed this before, but if it bothers you; hell yeah get that celery out of there. 2nd line : I agree with all of these statements 3rd line : ... goddamn...

A minute later : You know what, fuck Campbell's! I'm won over. That third line is legit.

Kiwi Rook giving out that armor and being a friend. Gotta love it.

100% agree on the Mazda 3. I have a 2016 3 sport and I’m still in love with it. My next car will probably be the 2023 or 2024 Mazda 3 turbo depending on the type of deal I can get with a used one. In the entire time I’ve owned this car it has given me less problems than even the 2008 Toyota Yaris I had before it did, and I still thought that little guy was reliable. I’ll stan Mazda all day now. If I didn’t live in the north east, I’d get a MX-5 today… and hell I’m still tempted even though it would not be a “great” idea.

No, I'm replaying 8 via the mobile remaster right now and that is what you can do and how the game essentially explains why it happens. It only works with Squall and Seifer as well.

The La Li Lu Le Lo?!

I installed PopOS last year after I got fed up with bloatware, adds, and just outright annoying “notifications” in windows 10 and 11, and I haven’t looked back.

I found a great resource in the ProtonDB website for configuring proton settings as I have also occasionally had games not work properly that are steam deck verified. There are typically enough people posting how they overcame issues and their build components so you can try to match up their fixes with your computer parts. It helps a ton most of the time.
