Wine seems pretty good. Though I need to understand it more deeply before I can comment more on it

Ok then use wine or dual boot

It won’t stop privacy concerns but at least it makes it more complicated for microslop to collect everything about you

More like “I will run literally anything besides things you shouldn’t run because of privacy concerns… Though you may need 3 hours to install it.”

“RAM shortage? What RAM shortage? I smell DDR3 somewhere in the room, use that, I will still run fine”

You get massive latency, and you pay for a service not for something you own, so yea…

Well yea, but that doesn’t change that nothing works on linux on thinkbooks… That was my point

I get what you are saying but sometimes new is needed. For example at work they wanted me to have new not used… For some reason. (They paid anyway)

Oh… Well that’s not really on linux lol, you’re just streaming I/O from a server… Thanks though I guess

Ping me I’m curious

You guys should really tell us normies how to start. For example, the easiest thing is to check approved hardware for a specific distro. Ubuntu has a list. Nobody told me this in my over 4.5 years working with ubuntu during uni, at work and sometimes at home.

(I don’t get much time to research…)

The trick is to buy linux-approved hardware.

For example, there are specific machines which are approved by ubuntu as officialy working with ubuntu.

Thinkpads are generaly good to use.

Consumer Thinkbooks (Shitbooks) like the 16 G7 IML are NOT at all compatible.

You gotta work your hardware around linux a bit.

Every day I learn a new word from you intelligent fucks

Zsf and ctrl-r with history 999999 my beloved

I think it removes some needed files and screws up your activation or something like that

Yea and Usain Bolt can run real fast and you can’t

You got problems buddy

That’s an assumption

It’s infuriating that you can’t just copy the text in those sometimes

Fyi do not run that if you used MAS :-)

Oh my god that is hillarious

Finally, a use for my backups based on FreeFileSync

wipes entire drive

installs linux mint

Now where the fuck did I put that nice start menu icon creation GUI app…
