I have been converted. After going through so much bullshit to get Windows 11 configured the way I want it, I experimented with Linux Mint on an external hard drive and I have to say it’s been amazing. I think we have finally hit an inflection point where the effort to install, customize and use Linux Mint is now less than installing Windows 11 IoT LTSC and running the debloating scripts/reinstalling default apps, and it’s a better experience.Open source software has also matured to the point that I have found sufficient alternatives for ALL of my windows programs including Paint.NET with the recent Pinta update.Once I customize the look and feel of Cinnamon/Firefox a bit more I will probably be switching to Linux full time. After years of retarded bugs, obvious features not being implemented, dogshit communities, etc. I think Linux finally made it.
Welcome home babe. Firefox is shit. Google Chrome is also shit. Use ungoogled chromium or even just regular chromium ublock origin.

>>107847595/twg/ being TRUTH NUKING begins NOW.The man who has fully understood the theory of complete irresponsibility (the following aphorism) can no longer include the so-called justice that punishes and rewards within the concept of justice, if that consists in giving each his due. For the man who is punished does not deserve the punishment: he is only being used as the means to frighten others away from certain future actions; likewise, the man who is rewarded does not deserve this reward; he could not act other than as he did. Thus a reward means only an encouragement, for him and others, to provide a motive for subsequent actions: praise is shouted to the runner on the track not to the one who has reached the finish line. Neither punishment nor reward are due to anyone as his; they are given to him because it is useful, without his justly having any claims on them. One must say, "The wise man rewards not because men have acted rightly," just as it was said, "The wise man punishes not because men have acted badly, but so they will not act badly." If we were to dispense with punishment and reward, we would lose the strongest motives driving men away from certain actions and toward other actions; the advantage of man requires that they continue; and in that punishment and reward, blame and praise affect vanity most acutely, the same advantage also requires that vanity continue.

Windows is not stopping you, but if you type illegal text, the website provider can and will stop you.

>>107842976Turns out uncensored AI always ends up some flavor of liberal/leftist, even the Chinese models.

You're all wrong. Wine is just a Linux implementation of Windows libraries and APIs.
