One would get you ~2-3 bags of heroin but black tar heroines haven’t been sold since the 1860s in the US thankfully, so I couldn’t quote you a price on that.

Love me some Fedora, why should I switch to an immutable version? The thing that gives me pause is I like being able to change my system when I need to and have it persist, which is from what I understand the exact opposite idea of immutables (but I may be misunderstanding, thus this comment asking lol).

No, when the dev was a kid he pushed another kid off the swingset and I’m pretty sure it was racially motivated. Better just move into the woods and use only stone and wood tools you make yourself, just to be safe! Never know who could have done what, the people who are “good” probably just haven’t been caught being bad yet.

WEEEEELLLL that’s what Fdroid is for and my friends with android all already have fdroid because “youtube downloaders be there” is all I had to say.

They just like the google keyloggerboard.

They seem to simultaneously be ineffective at anything, but also responsible for all the evil in the world

Why does that sound so familiar? Hmm…

OH. Uh-oh.

So transphobia and authoritarianism are totally cool just as long as they don’t wear Hugo Boss?

Who knew.

Idk why nobody knew about it until recently, ime (and I’ve never used Zorin), I feel like even before the recent (likely paid advertising) campaign I still saw it almost once or twice per thread, usually something like “I’d go mint, unless you need cutting edge then Fedora, or if you really need it to look like windows then there is Zorin,” some saying “I haven’t used it but I hear it’s windows like” and stuff. I’ve seen stuff like that consistently for the last 4 or 5 years since I switched and I was the one asking distro advice and being told mint, fedora, zorin, or pop. It has never been the top answer but it was always there, lurking in the shadows.

It’s been asked a million times, and it’ll be answered every time, and the answers will mostly be “Mint, Fedora, FedoraKDE, and if you wanna game Bazzite.”

The real advice that gets posted less, regardless of distro:

• Back up your important files to an external drive, often. It’s entirely possible you’ll fuck up an install beyond repair (or beyond what you know how to do at the time) and you end up reinstalling. If you can just put your important files back and be up and running, nothing of value is lost.

• Don’t be scared of the terminal, it’s incredibly useful. Look up a few YT vids like “bash basics” or “linux terminal for beginners” or something and follow along like it’s a class, you’ll soon be comfortable enough to use it when you need it, and you will, and you may come to love it. It’s not as bad as windows cmd! Be careful when using sudo or su, that’s when you could really screw up the system (but mostly it’ll be fine just be careful.

And most importantly, have fun!

It’s still up!

BOOM

No it ain’t.

Thanks for the links and the help!

Can you do infinite subaddrs or does that mean my wallet has to change every so often?

And if I’m understanding correctly, if I’m buying ETH or LTC kyc and then exchanging without kyc to XMR at a diff subaddr every time, and then sending it another hop as XMR to myself, I wouldn’t need to worry about varying the subaddrs on that one since those two XMR transactions are already obfuscated with 16² decoys, so I can rotate basically a new shell wallet every so often and keep my main?

Oh that’d (ATM) be perfect! Looking it up it seems the non-kyc exchanges these days (I remember hearing about Kraken back in the day, but) are Best Wallet and GhostSwap? Would you recommend one of those or another one idk about?

As for not reusing the subaddress, do you mean use a brand spanking new subaddr for GhostSwap every single time I exchange and never reuse it, but I can keep my second internal swapper addr and the third one I give to “customers” for transactions static?

Or do you mean use one for the exchange every time and ONLY for that, then swap it to an internal only I know, and have a third on my Mastodon for donations (ok I won’t actually be doing that prob, but I mean the one I send people for transactions) keeping them all consistent but separated?

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks! That link definitely helped a lot! Do you know if it matters what the wallets are named? Say I use my randomized one to exchange the ETH to first and then the second one is ArcaneSlimeXMR that I spend out of, can anyone see that name or is it just the receive address that anyone can see? It’d help me keep it organized instead of having to remember which wallet is which.

It also appears I can send it to another subkey within the same wallet (I think lol) according to the post you linked above, which might be easier.

How exactly does “seeing a man wearing shorts and hoodie” affect your “nice evening?” Seems weird to let something so small that is completely unrelated to you affect you so much that you feel disrespected. Honestly I’d argue your projection is more a reflection on you here.

“Well perfect! Get the new one just so you have a safety net, I’ll istall Linux on the old one and you can play around with it, and when you decide that Linux is actually the best, you can install it on your main machine! If Linux ends up not being for you, I’ll prob buy the old laptop for cheap if you want a few extra bucks.”

But my two kicker 12"s, kenwood head unit, and JL audio speakers are better than the broken tape deck that used to be in my 2002. And it wasn’t that hard to just install myself, bro.

And linux was better on my 2015 Toshiba Satellite with 8gb DDR(was it even 3?) that outright refused to run windows 10 because it was so bloated, because Linux ran. By the time I got to upgrading the PC, why would I have gone back to windows after tasting true freedom?

Can they still not tell the screen’s size if you never fullsize your window? I 'member that advice from back in the day using Tor.

Oh then I must, because I can run those two at least. Still gonna check when I get home though, thanks!

Good to know, thanks!

Huh, neat! Never seen this, how is it?
