Excuse the lack of transcription, im writing this on a coffee break

But yes! Steam works on Linux! Unfortunately, many games don't. Some can be run using stuff like Wine, some don't (like destiny 2, literally the only reason I still have a Windows boot)

There's lots of Linux distros and a lot of users with Opinions about it: ultimately if you're gonna use your computer for stuff like writing, doing spreadsheets or surfing the internet it's not super relevant. You'll have time to develop Opinions later, use whatever distro gets you going. I'm partial to Fedora, a lot of ex-Windows users prefer Linux Mint for what I know.

With distros like Fedora or Ubuntu, you don't need to use the terminal for anything. I use it because I'm used to it, because I use it at work, but it's power user shit and it's not necessary.

Happy hacking!

This is a nightmarish dystopian future for windows. Glad i got off the Windows train.

things ral would do if he were real part 2:

"honestly, linux isnt even that hard"

makes his assistants download slack just so he can ignore them there too

you may think his dramatic ass would have a real sick looking sports/muscle car, but youd be wrong. its a honda civic sleeper car hes tricked the fuck out over the course of several years. has done the cannonball run. single bumper sticker that says "my other car isnt a cybertruck"

thinks its neat how he can use his business card for whatever the fuck he wants without having to explain himself to niv. perks of the job, they just cover everything for him

its actually his own card, but his living expenses are so low that he hasnt really had to pay attention yet

he DOES have good healthcare tho, and the second he learns about it he gets a vasectomy for fun (and opioids). hes the hypothetical guy politicians are referring to when they say "people would abuse universal healthcare"

refers to something as being "kind of pog money" in front of hekara to deal critical psychic damage against a woman who has tried to teach him several tiktok dances

The LINUX REVIEW! Okay so I been using CachyOS on my desktop pc and Arch linux on my laptop (previously Linux Mint) for over a month now and I just wanted to post about my thoughts, from someone who has been exclusively on Windows my entire life and am not a programmer/dev (and now, no longer has anything that runs on Windows so you may see where this is going)

Laptop specs: AMD ryzen CPU i don't remember specifics, 8gb ram, 500gb storage (Truly just an average trash laptop whos already physically falling apart)

PC specs: 7600x CPU, 7800 XT GPU, 32gb ram, 2tb storage

List of things I've noticed or liked:

(Laptop) Fans no longer blaze on idle. Was really embarrassing bringing my laptop to school because of this and now no longer an issue. The fans only kick in when necessary

(Overall) Less ram usage. on idle, Windows 11 ate about half my ram on my laptop, its now about 1 gb on arch. Similarly, on my PC CachyOS is about 1.8 gb on idle.

(Overall) More customization compared to Windows. I've stuck with the cinnamon DE for all of them and at least on Cinnamon, customization is easy for the average person who doesnt wanna go mess w configs.

(Overall) I can update my computer and still use it like normal. If its a relatively deep update that needs to restart the restart time is as long as any other regular restart. I wont be tricked to being stuck on a blue loading screen for 10 minutes.

(Overall) I can run all games I like to play, even relatively newer ones like Monster Hunter Wilds. Which is now a few months old, but even Nightreign which is Brand New runs perfectly. People need to stop saying gaming is impossible on Linux. Yall are just addicted to Fortnite

(Overall) Pirating games is also easy and have had no performance issues with pirated games running via Lutris

(Overall) Better performance on Minecraft. Most games r kinda the same, but there are a select few like Minecraft who run better now

(Laptop) i can watch a FUCKING YOUTUBE VIDEO without my computer DYING

(PC) Everything just Works. CachyOS is really good. The reason this isn't an overall point is just that I'm more responsible for getting the packages my laptop needs, so obviously there wasn't a good out of box experience for a normal user on Arch. For being arch-based CachyOS is perfect and has no issues

(Overall) No Microsoft

(Overall) I can use pngs as icons for applications instead of needing to convert to ico

(Overall) And also, Converting something from one format into another is 10x simpler

List of things that are silly:

I can say "yay" to update my computer :3

I will never leave my wiggly window phase. blblublbublbubblubblub

List of things that I don't like:

Honestly such a trivial issue but the RGB on my keyboard under my capslock fucks up and gets stuck and I am in the select tiny minority where openRGB doesn't support my keyboard and akko drivers aren't available for Linux. im not sure i can say i "dont like" it because its such a non issue, its just a thing I wanted to acknowledge.

Transstalked & Transstalker tips

Transstalked

¹ Pretend there's always someone watching you, try your best to resemble a fear in your mind and start questioning yourself if you're truly alone, if you do that you'll trick your brain into thinking that there's actually someone with you

² Question everything. And by that i mean, if you hear the slightest noise think to yourself "is that my stalker?" "is someone with me?" if you hear that something broke / crushed gaslight yourself that it was your stalker in your home, being too clumsy. If you walk somewhere, look behind you at least 2 times to check if there's someone behind you, after that start walking faster, and when you do that, start questioning yourself once again "did i see someone? was it a shadow following me"

³ You can also complain to your relatives that you see a figure following you around, but this one is very optional since it may be dangerous to tell them not knowing how they will react. But i told my family and my friends that there's a figure following me around and they believed me and it gave me some much euphoria so maybe give it a shot, if they're gonna take it too far (like calling on police or other things like that) you can always say that it isn't following you around (if someone wants i can give a prompt to this!!)

⁴ You may wanna either lock your doors and windows and be very paranoid about them, or leave them opened up (so it'll be easier for your stalker to get inside your house) the first one gives much euphoria, and i like to lock my windows & cover the curtains

⁵ You can also try to find a transstalker in radqueer community there's lots of them and there's always gonna be someone who would love to be devoted to you!! ;3

Transstalker

¹ Try acting sly, maybe put your hoodie on with your eyes on the ground and walk fast. Don't talk too much with people and be cold to everyone

² Consume the media that your lover consumes, learn about their interests, what they like / dislike, hate / love what they can't stand and what they enjoy, their preferences what's their favorite ice cream everything you can possibly imagine. It shall bring you joy, be obsessed.

³ Control them. Try installing apps that could help you see their location, try hacking into their accounts on every social media possible (you can do it through using linux, cheat engine, maybe Charles?) control every aspect of their life, how they dress for example, maybe their clothing is too revealing? don't let them leave the house, or maybe they're disobeying your commands and they deserve to be punished somehow? Think creatively about this one!

I love you, you're valid remember that
