I have a small dumb TV I got fairly recently from Best Buy. It’s their store brand and has no smart features. Only 720p but they had some 1080p ones too. They’re nothing special but very cheap. Mine was an open box and I got it for maybe 40 or 50 dollars.

In Northern California my AC is off as much as I can help it. When it’s on it’s set at 82. Energy bill is still at least $250 for my one bedroom apartment…

I’ve run into these issues in the few years since I’ve switched. Old outdated stuff or windows exclusive software can be a hassle to get running. Possible, but your putting a square peg in a round hole.

Were flatpaks a thing when you tried Linux last? Flatpak makes installing most programs extremely easy. I just search my distros software store and hit install. As a bonus, you often get newer versions than when you install software traditionally, and updates can be set to automatically download.

I’ve run Pop OS since 2019. I have never reinstalled and I only touch the terminal maybe once every 6 months. Absolutely everything I do is GUI.

Easy Effects is such a great program. Very good for doing all sorts of effects on audio. Great for filters and EQ.

The way I often end up playing it: mass murder simulator

I refuse to send anything except .zip to basically anyone I know. Because if it was anything else they’d be confused. With the things I’m sending on a regular basis, small images and documents, the difference in performance between archive formats doesn’t really matter anyway.

On my desktop PC I have 2tb of SSD and 16tb of hard disk. I use the ssds for games and OS, while the hdds get used for movies, tv shows, music, etc.

I am actively seeding 4.5tb of data on private trackers.

Drumsticks- those chocolate dipped ice cream cones with the nuts on top. The generic in my experience usually has way more nuts, sometimes more ice cream, and more caramel filling.

For my needs I found that that flatpak just werks for anything not on the distros repos. And for the really obscure stuff I’ve used, I could just build from source

I want to comment more but I often don’t have much to say. I’ve made it a goal to comment more though, because I want to see this platform succeed.

I love the enthusiasm in this thread but if we the mass migration of reddit users that I am hoping for, the toxicity and annoying reddit behaviors are probably coming along with them. I am hopeful that this place will at least stay much more open and free.
