SOME models do work pretty good with PostmarketOS. Very few with all hardware features working, some with nearly all features working. Mostly classical laptop devices. Convertibles and tablets on the other hand work generally less good. Well of course there’s a gigantic shitload of devices that don’t even have a functional display and a even bigger pile that’s not even booting.

• pretty much every modern Chromebook will be able to have Linux installed over ChromeOS. You might have to open it up and remove a write-protect screw.

I did exactly that. That thing with the screw is only for older models. I did it on a somewhat newer model and I had to open it up and disconnect the battery. Newer models need a SuzyQ cable to switch from ChromeOS to Linux. All of them need to run the MrChromebox script after disabling write protection. Well, except ARM Chromebooks. They are not compatible with the script. For some of these devices PostmarketOS is the way to go.

Sounds like a phone that’ll cost something like 1800-3000€. I’ll pass and stay with Fairphone.

Food drops to the ground

Starts picking it up and eating anyway with a bare minimum of cleaning said food, just like a dog

Literally me after using my moms Windows 11 Laptop for 10 Minutes.

My car and also my scooter are from 2009. I use them (for commute) alternately depending on which season it is and if it’s raining or not.

South Park Season 1 Episode 7 (the episode where Cartman wears a Adolf Hitler costume for Halloween) was partially censored in Germany. Cartmans “Sieg Heil” was changed to “Wie Geil” (means “how cool”). I think the censoring there was actually funnier than the original.

If one would write a name multiple times, would the debt accumulate to the number of times said name was written to the note? Just askin’… googles for names of hated billionaires and other assholes

You know what? You’re absolutely right. “Went missing” is 100% the wrong term for this. It actually sounds too soft for what actually happened.

Damn, that means she was born in 1916. How has she perceived the failing of the Weimar Republic and the rising of the Nazis? Did she know any jews who “went missing” were deported after 1933? How did she survive the bombings?

Not trolling, I would just be genuinely curious. I’m german and I missed the chance to ask my grandpa (born 1925, died before I was interrested in stuff like that), who was in the Wehrmacht on the western front, about how he perceived this and the war itself.

Throwing errors? My dads Windows 8 machine does not throw any error. It’s just as slow as the continental drift. For years already he just keeps blaming his internet connection for that, which is obviously wrong because my Linux laptop works absolutly fine and responsive inside the same network. He doesn’t even think about it that his computer itself could be the problem. I suspect it is part of a botnet or some shit like that but he does not care what I say, so I don’t care about his online vulnerability. Because of all this I know that inconveniences do not necessarily convince a person to do something that’s needed to be done (use Linux or buy new device).

Many of the things you said are definitely right. But People who ACTUALLY need Windows for stuff like Photoshop or whatever would buy a new PC anyway. I think more of the casual “we always did it like that” kind of user. What do most of them need? Language localization, Firefox (or Chromium or for fucks sake even Edge), basic text editing and a basic PDF Viewer. For that kind of usage profile you definitely don’t have to force Windows 11 on your 12 year old PC. Any Linux can do that job like Windows would do, but without using scripts to force it on your machine and most likely with better performance too.

Well, that’s what I said. Old shitboxes and such. May be old, but would run like a charm with Linux. But is a shitbox because the installed OS (WIndows in this case) is completely obsolete.

People actually do this shit? Bruh. Why jump through hoops installing Windows 11 when installing Linux (the ones with graphical installer) is much easier and much less of a hassle? smh

Most people don’t give much thought to their operating system, but with Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, many will start searching for alternatives…

I predict most of them are going to waste a ton of money and buy a Window 11 device. Or waste a shit-ton of money and buy a Apple device. Or just say “fuck it” and keep Windows 10 (that’s what my mom will surely do. I stopped caring, as my dad still wants to use his even older Windows 8 shitbox and my mom 100% agrees to this).

Tall torso, short legs.

169 cm thanks to an unproportional leg-torso-ratio. If it would be proportional I would be more like 180 cm tall. I hate this so much.
