Hello there!
I’m also @savvywolf@furry.engineer , and I have a website at https://www.savagewolf.org/ .

“It’s just horror, bro” with the same kind of energy as “it’s just a prank, bro”.
I’ve not played the game, but “person riding another person in horse gear” is absolutely a fetish thing, intentional or otherwise.
I think it absolutely would fall afoul of kiddie porn laws. Honestly, I think any depiction of a child in proximity to nudity probably would count.
Just have replaceable Li-ion batteries.
It’s easy to get fame as a programmer: Just make a popular open source project and you’ll be surrounded by people angry at you for not doing enough upaid work on it.
It’s open source. If 32 bit support is important enough, people can fork and maintain it.
Don’t know if this is true for all environments, but you might be able to just create a file in ~/Templates for it to show up in that list.
And then there’s the guy whose like “this comic could be two panels shorter!” because timing and pacing is a myth, apparently.
This is why you use Arch/Nix because the package is likely in their repos.
The software probably still won’t work, but you can waste more time on it.
Dual booting is fine. Bitlocker just makes it so that the installer isn’t able to resize the Windows partition (since it’s encrypted), but you can resize it in Windows to create enough space to put Mint on. You can also disable bitlocker entirely, but your files will no longer be encrypted.
There’s worry about the bootloader being nuked, but I think that’s a bit of an overreaction. Now everything is EFI, Windows shouldn’t touch other OSes. If it does, then that doesn’t require a full reinstall; it’s possible to boot from the live USB (the installer) and reinstall just the bootloader.
I don’t know if they still do it, but Mint used to do staggered updates (through their update manager) for some packages. They would start out making the update only available for, say, 10% of people and then slowly built up to 100% if no issues were discovered.
“So, you said on social media that you hate this group of people…”
“Woah, that was like, 10 years ago.”
“Oh, so I take it those aren’t representative of your current views then?”
“… Lets not be too hasty.”
One thing that many guides tend to skip is how to install software. People coming from Windows might try to install software the “Windows way” by going to the website and downloading them. That is just likely to cause pain and suffering for a number of reasons.
Instead, every beginner friendly distro has its own flavour of software centre that users should be encouraged to use instead. Maybe even include a link to flathub in the guide or something.
What is a human washing machine? Is it a machine that washes humans?
Counterpoint: Making positive lifestyle changes can result in a more positive outlook which in turn leads to more positive social interactions.
Would rebuilding his face not be akin to someone getting in shape and thus feeling and acting better.
Last time I used the recomp, which has the randomiser built in. The game looks and runs much nicer through it.
I grew up with Zelda Ocarina of Time, so now every time I feel like playing it I use a randomiser to put all the items in random locations. It makes every playthrough more unique and interesting.
Nowadays I find myself checking changelogs to see what features they’ve broken and what AI features I now need to disable…
When I was a kid my parents would only let me play games for half an hour a day. That works out at, using the monthly times, three times as much as Microsoft is letting people use.
Microsoft, is it an ad supported tier or a limited trial. Pick one.
Encryption and offsite backups. If someone nicks it then they don’t get any private information. And with backups it’s easy enough to just push the data onto a new device.
Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is… Yeah, there isn’t a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?
Although I would put Chrome under “disruptive”. It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it’s still changing the browser landscape.
For the swap space, yes that’s for when you run out of RAM. 48GiB is plenty of RAM, so you should be fine without it. I have 32GiB of RAM on my system and have been running without swap for ages without issue.
Hardening guides like that are mostly designed for things like web servers which are connected to the public internet and need higher scrutiny. The default configuration for distros like Mint should be secure enough for the average user.
However, don’t feel invincible and run random code from random sites. Both Windows and Linux can’t protect you against malicious code you run yourself.
Having organised partitions is the kind of thing that people obsessed with organisation do. For most people, the default partitioning scheme is fine. However, as always, remember to keep backups of important data.
For installing software, Mint has a Software Centre (which is distinct from the Snap Store). I’d recommend installing software using that for the average user.
In Mint, there are three main types of packages:
Mint’s software centre is able to install both Debian and Flatpak packages. I’d recommend using it where possible since it allows automatic upgrades and easier installation/uninstallation.
