There are some good enough automatics out now at very reasonable prices.

Of course there are also crazy expensive ones also, but they all do essentially the same thing - convert your movements into time measurements 😀

Didn’t spot that one coming

🤣😂😪😥😢😭

That would possibly work

Aspiring supervillan, please.

I may or may not do this occasionally with byobu and my own services. Byobu is easier to use.

Dripping

Ooh. Thanks

Yes

That explains, but doesn’t excuse, the action.

We are deep in the technical weeds here. 95% of Linux usage really doesn’t require such humour unfortunately.

I game on Linux. Go check protondb for compatibility with your favourite game

Feels like a business opportunity to me

This is the way

Oh yes!

If you have a big enough hard drive then you can install Linux alongside Windows. You will get that option when installing. When you boot, you will be able to choose…

Caveat, win11 requires secure boot which I haven’t dealt with, so you may have to research if that’s the case. There will be lots of info online though - it will depend upon your distro though

Can we assume that all vacuums are frictionless? Makes the math easier.

Ha. No worries. List of distributions…

• Pop!_os Arch derivative. Popular. Quite easy
• Debian One of the first distributions. Medium to hard difficulty
• Ubuntu Very easy, but they are a bit corporate. Usually considered a good beginners distro
• Slackware (beginners guide). One of the first distortion. Can be considered hard mode :)
• Manjaro Arch derivative. Easy to medium
• Arch Arch (not a) derivative. Hard mode
• Redhat Enterprise mode

I would try them out as either live usb tests or in virtual box first to see what tickles your fancy. In the mid to late 90’s I was using slack and Debian. Debian is generally used as a base in docker images for its stability, so getting to know that to get into herding containers can be a good thing.

Many others out there, that’s just a small list off the top of my head.

• List of distros

• 'nother list

• distrowatch used to be my go to when hunting fun distros.

• Have fun!

• Break shit!

• Learn how to fix it (almost every catastrophe is recoverable)

Anything at all. I run on raspberry pis, old lenovo laptops, new gaming laptops, amd pc with 64 gig ram and nvidia 4070ti. Make a bootable usb and test it to see if you like it without installing to the drive (live mode), then if you want to make the plunge, install.

Install mint (cinnamon). Very easy to use for starting. Will make computers fun again. As for games. Most work fine but ymmv

Yup. Personally only use it for work. Linux all the way on all my machines
