Guys quick I don’t know shit about computers.
How bad is Windows 11?
@Evil_Bender Okay so in order to downgrade a Windows 11 computer I’ll need a Windows 10 license key I think? I doubt they’ll just let you downgrade a system for free if it came with Windows 11.
@matty @TheWanax @Evil_Bender It seems like every introduction post-Windows 7 has just been complete garbage when it comes to operating systems. I only really liked XP while I had it on my own laptop back in the day because it was very customizable, from its look and feel to its versatile amount of software that could be ran on it (stick figure animation software).
@matty @Evil_Bender @TheWanax I’m interested in actually gaming and doing some things like with animation and music production so my only Fediverse exports won’t be relegated to stupid puns and fighting!
So I don’t know how good Linux is with digital audio workstations but the good news is that I can finally do that dual-system thing I talked about months ago and have Linux on one drive and Windows on another (I guess?) so I can experiment.
Why’s Linux so good?
The more accustomed to the terminal you become, the easier it'll be for you to complete tasks. For most productivity and gaming though, Windows is still the best. I dual boot, so I have Windows on one SSD and Linux on another. When I want to work on NCD or anything else I just use Linux. When I want to play video games or give my data to Microsoft, I use Windows.
The best way to really figure out how to use it is just to use it. Play around with it. Hell, run it in a virtual machine on Windows if you want, using VMware or VirtualBox. You'll be slightly limited there but it's better to do that when you're starting off since if you delete your entire file system you can just revert to a snap shot or a checkpoint.
@matty @Evil_Bender @TheWanax I’ll look to you. I once ran Microsoft Windows XP in a VM and it was
it was definitely something.
@Evil_Bender @tyler @matty @TheWanax A lot of people say enlisting isn’t exactly worth it, looking back. My brothers that served are even like that.
@Evil_Bender @tyler @Matty @Owl @TheWanax the only people that enlist these days are people who have no idea what the fuck to do with their life or people that think they can make money and get free housing/education/health care by doing it, while pushing the risk in the back of their mind.
there's a 17 year old kid at work who is trying to graduate early so he can join the military right when he turns 18, even despite all the shit that's going on right now he doesn't know what else to do and thinks that he'll be able to coast on by and get skills he'll be able to use in another career after he retires (at age 38, according to him, so 20 years in the military good luck kid, hopefully no wars break ou.... wait).
