Let’s fucking GO!

Ok It seems I’ve misread your train of thought initially. I thought you meant Linux in general is meh (and windows doesn’t exist anymore=> because well W11 sure ain’t windows as it used to be). My bad.

It’s not so much a cost thing for me as rather I don’t want onboard mics/cams in general. The quality is always shit and settings default over there when I never use those anyway.

Come to think of it. As little superfluous bs in general.

I use mx and I’m very happy with it so far. Current AV is based on MX so I think I can recommend it.

How have I ever wronged you stranger? Why does one voluntary collect enemies like this? I beg of you to stop in the name of world peace.

Ah man this was back in the early 2000’s so I’m not sure it’s still representative.

I mostly used rosegarden, hydrogen and either audacity or ardour iirc. (This was when I was still discovering pc recording)

I tried a live version recently and I didn’t really get the that I’d experience recent versions differently though.

Well there’s a careful balance needed. With close friends who are likeminded you can share your idea and maybe it’ll land, but once you’re addressing a larger group of people with an idea that goes against the stream …

You can, however, slowly change the discourse around you. Don’t partake, if the conversation goes towards fb or they send you a link respond with “oh, I dunno I’m not using Facebook anymore”. (Or alternatively “oh gee man, this link won’t load on my phone.”)

I’ve found that being hard out of the gate (“because fuck Zuckerberg!!”) doesn’t really work on people who are in there. What does work is presenting an alternative they can relate to “man I stopped scrolling fb because it’s such a waste of time, went for a walk today”. That’s neutral and wholesome and they can’t really object to that.

It’s not direct but subtle, now you’ve planted the idea that there’s people outside of the fb hive mind. People who might be enjoying fulfilling lives outside of fb.

Best of luck, you’re not alone in this fight.

“Linux is meh”

Sounds like a you problem.

Pretty sure that’s just the wallpaper.

Ubuntu studio mfrs!!

TBH I’ve always found it a bit too bloated for my use more than half the programs on there didn’t get any use. But good on ya!

Oh you holding out for those few microtransaction storefronts that are SO much fun?

“They say we could impeach him ✋🤚tremendously 👐. People say a lot of things are impeachable 🍑but this one ☝️is the peachiest. I’m gonna call it a 💯perfect 👌imp🍑ment. “

Addendum: no webcam or microphone. Firm keys. A bios that doesn’t make choices for us and lets you actually use the damn thing.

Well you know, you gotta phase these things out before sweeping them under the rug.

If you cut it off cold turkey everyone will be like “I did Natzi that one coming”.

Guy fully mummified in plaster in a hospital bed groaning: “well I wanted to test it out to see if it works for a 100 bucks…”

“Oh think I’ll treat myself to a month of gamble driving”

I remember a lot of peoples reaction at the time was along the lines off “oh he’s overdoing it”.

No bitch, turn that shit up to eleven and rip the knob off!!!

No damnit, it says “ON their end” not “IN”.
