I don’t doubt anything you said, except for the last paragraph.

Ken Bone did an AMA on the same account that he commented on porn subs with - that was not a result of surveillance programs.

Like I’m not getting ahead no matter how hard I try

They don’t want to at all but I’ve chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows

No, I’m putting a gun to their head and they will use Linux. /s

I have gotten a few comments like these, not sure why some of you are getting the idea that this is a forced switch lol

If you’re American, this may be why. 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

You are seeing the effect of America’s deeply rooted culture of anti-intellectualism and the decades-long Republican crusade to gut the public schooling system.

Hexbear is a leftist instance. People interpret any criticism of Democrats as coming from the right instead of the left.

Also, Hexbear refers to both Dems and Republicans as liberals. In the US, “liberal” usually only refers to social liberalism. The definition of liberalism elsewhere in the world includes liberal conservatism.

Bingo!

They wanted to give it a try so win-win for both of us if they end up liking it.

Awesome, thanks for this! Looks promising, I’ll check it out.

Oops, thank you for the heads up!

You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.

Why not just try to get it to run on your machine?

I wanted to gauge the level of effort involved first. I easily can sink hours into tinkering something and getting it to eventually work but sometimes it isn’t worth it.

Nope

That’s a good and sadly realistic point.

I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy

Makes sense. I don’t know why, but I somehow read the original comment to mean that Americans were randomly dead on the side of the road, sans car. Lol

Why are they dying on the roads?

Haven’t been back to Reddit. It’s going great. Mostly I am relieved I don’t have to see that fucking Jesus ad anymore.

Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? A company should not be promoting Christmas and then banning any mention of non-christian holidays. Just don’t mention them at all then

Thank you for the heads up. I was considering OpenSUSE bc I am looking for a new distro after Fedora’s telemetry bullshit. Not anymore

That’s an understatement
