>>518 really? I still haven't seen any (offline) shops that don't support cash payment. In fact, I've seen shops actively discouraging using credit/debit cards to pay, at least around my area.

I recently bought untested Thinkpad T60 for reasonable price. I cleaned it and made a dual boot Windows XP and Slackware Linux. I was fortunate enough that it was just a missing HDD which I got a spare SSD to use.

>>565 By coincidence I also bought a T60 with a missing hard drive recently

I upgraded the RAM with 4GB (only 3 GB can be used unfortunately ;-;) and CPU on mine and put Arch on it.

>>566 I never have a thought to replace the CPU unless it's possible and a good upgrade. I did bought 2GB ram to make it 3GB overall. Post your arch desktop please!

it's so easy to make linux look good. this was maybe 15 minutes max using themes i didn't make lol. my laptop for college/work.

my main PC is for gayming so it runs windows LTSC and i don't customize it much. well, i say it's my main PC but it seems like i'm on my laptop more often nowadays. busy busy!

>>704 also just to add to this, i do use a ton of open source software every day such as OBS, thunderbird, blender, and calibre. i've just found that software such as GIMP, kdenlive, inkscape, etc just don't mesh well with my workflow. I do still want to experiment with linux in my free time (ill probably get another ssd to dual boot) but as of right now its not a huge priority ... sorry to derail thread hehe

>>705 no worries friend. honestly i still use winblows on my main PC, even if i do have linux mint on my work/college laptop. software is a tool, use whatever you'd like. i'll still shill for open source software when possible but use what works for you!

>>706 what made me want to make the switch was how malicious microsoft has gotten when it comes to privacy and data collection, not to mention the lack of support for older hardware with these newer versions. linux and open source software has definitely come a long way and I'd like to make the switch eventually once my use case becomes more viable

>>

Anonymous 08/15/2024 (Thu) 21:06:40 No. 709

>>708 >Privacy and Data issues That was part of the reasons why I never upgraded my PC to Windows 10 or 11. I was a main Windows 7 user until 2023 for Linux Mint as my first distro. The first week of Linux was painful due to poor knowledge and fear of not reaching my standard about Linux. After that, I'm very satisfied with it and I'm glad that I did not went to use newer Windows.

Got tired of ricing and in general of the "build your own DE" experience made of non interoperable components that constantly break because its author decided to. KDE just works. >hahaha krashde Works on my machine.

>>930 I don't like manual tilling managers. I used dwm in the past though. I use KDE because I can configure things through a GUI, even though I can do it on the CLI, I got tired of it. Or for example connecting to a wifi network, I don't want to open the terminal. Also I use wayland only because it allows me to replace the GTK file picker with the Qt one. Each time I see the GTK file picker it makes me want to neck myself.

Even if you do, wpa_gui exists. As you wish ofc, but I prefer to keep it as simple as possible without having to use my butthole.

I share /opt across multiple installations and their approach is obnoxious. System packages should go into /lib. /opt is for me. I SAID FOR ME
