Are you real? I used to avoid downvoting anything but this, i have no words. If this is real you are…#$&@, and if it is a joke…f***.

“is likely used more in urban and coastal regions of the US and Hispanic is likely used more in rural and landlocked regions”, that is, “latino” is US based word, but it means almost nothing outside that country.

Since many years i do not play because have no time for that, including the fixing the issues. Used to play and like to fix issues because that is a good learning technique.

Depends on the game and version of windows…old games with new windows 99% of time won´t work.

Once there was Corel Linux, could not even install it.

Debian, Debian, Debian, Debian… And please tell us what you picked up and why.

With that background and do you really need suggestions?

I am not a sysadmin, jus user since 2000. I think if you ever need to do something with sudo it will be as dangerous as using su.

Can not screw up and break things with sudo?

why do you want to use sudo? As normal user you can run most of commands. If you are the only one user do not need sudo, use “su” instead with the admin password.

Dangerous asumption: one man, one finger, one second…and you will have a disaster.

why do you think you are going to loose your files if change desktop?

There is a movie from 1992 with Robert Redford, “Sneakers”. It is about a team of hackers, in a scene they face a door with an unexpected smart lock and find the right strategy, just kick the f* door.

So, the best is to bring your towel paper everywhere.

Right, and while in the install process, and the installer detects there is another os in your drive, “tell” the installer (there will be the option to do this) that you want both systems and choose the order of prefered booting. It is the simpler way for a new user.

I have been using linux since 2000 year and at firts had to learn how to configure lilo to get my cdrom working. When distros changed to grub i quit learning that stuff. Used my time learning other things, like R or chempaint.

No one should begin tinkering with grub and other sensitive parts of your system, begin with the command line and system tools first.

I do not use windows since year 2000. What windows version started that? Remember that there was a windows bootloader that could do this but i did not care to learn about, it was not worth of.

I do not know about W11 (using only Linux since 2000) but usually when installing Windows this is going to wipe out your whole disk, including any other os. That is why to have two (three or four) os you should install windows first, then any other os, the opposite is more like…a problem.

Some companies made money from some clueless managers and CEOs.

I worked at a big power and light company, some big boss at the headquarters hired a company to certify our pcs where y2k compliant (we already knew they were ok!).

A guy around 50 with suit and two younger technicians, around their twentys. I was behind them when when they sat down at every pc in our office, inserted a floppy disk, and ran a freeware software! A freeware that anyone could download from internet.

Of course the software printed on the screen that those pc where y2k compliant.

That company charged a fee for every certified pc, and we had lots of pcs.

I have been a Linux user since 2000.

All your chat is about technical issues, and both sides allways talk about the technical pros and cons of each system.

But i remember reading when debian team changed to systemd the arguments included these: 1- now Linux works like Windows and we do not like it. 2- now all depends on the systemd team, while init gives more freedom, so started devuan. 3- init and systemd can do the same but…here all the technical blah blah. By the way, if devuan exists and works well… 4- last and not least, systemd lets lock out the system (distro).

I am not an IT guy, just an user…so an ignorant. My questions: are those statements still valid or wrong? Even today the number 4 gets mi confused, it is, or was, a real reason?

Sorry my wording, my first language is not English.

Guess they deserved it because were too subtle in naming.
