Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

Freedom isn’t free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

!$$$$$$!<

Hmm seems like China doesn’t like people researching Covid.

Same… Sorry not sorry for your loss.

Coca cola

Rich people need blue & white collar workers and poor people to continue to work or else the economy stops.

The pot calling the kettle black.

I don’t remember why but I switched from k9 to fairemail a long time ago. I think it might have been the branding lol… Shallow I know but I just can’t get passed the logo / name. I might give it another shot once it’s rebranded.

Hackers gonna hack. Where there’s a market, there’s a way.

Yeah any desirable habitat for humans will continue to be gentrified and destroyed.

Evolution is a good client that I used for a long time. But I switched to Thunderbird after their recent UI overhaul and I have to say it feels way more thought out and robust than evolution.

He earned it, sad but true.

Sounds familiar, haha.

popular support of the war

This baffles me

Same lol.

How about just remove cigarettes from grocery stores, gas stations, and all other stores where people go to buy things other than cigarettes.

Regulate tobacco like some states regulate alcohol. Have a state store and that’s the only place you can buy tobacco and make it heavily taxed.

Russia seems to have agents in far right govt organizations worldwide.

What happens to insurance companies in situations like this?

Agreed. Forced arbitration is so shady…

I think this point was not to claim this article is propaganda, but rather that Russia and other dictatorships can continue to invade other countries with minor consequences because they can spin whatever narrative they need and sow division in the worlds political powers by spreading lies and mistruths on fringe news channels and social media.
