There. That's out of the way. I recently installed Linux on my main desktop computer and work laptop, overwriting the Windows partition completely. Essentially, I deleted the primary operating system from the two computers I use the most, day in and day out, instead trusting all of my personal and work computing needs to the Open Source community. This has been a growing trend, and I hopped on the bandwagon, but for good reasons. Some of those reasons might pertain to you and convince you to finally make the jump as well. Here's my experience.

It's no secret that Windows 11 harvests data like a pumpkin farmer in October, and there is no easy way (and sometimes no way at all) to stop it. The operating system itself acts exactly like what was called "spyware" a decade or so ago, pulling every piece of data it can about its current user. This data includes (but is far from limited to) hardware information, specific apps and software used, usage trends, and more. With the advent of AI, Microsoft made headlines with Copilot, an artificial assistant designed to help users by capturing their data with tools like Recall.

After dealing with these issues and trying to solve them with workarounds, I dual-booted a Linux partition for a few weeks. After a Windows update (that I didn't choose to do) wiped that partition and, consequently, the Linux installation, I decided to go whole-hog: I deleted Windows 11 and used the entire drive for Linux.

Today's game is Halo 3. Me and my Friend finished up our run. I believe last time i incorrectly stated that we finished it due to being used too finishing it all in one sitting. We did finish it this run though. The Covenant level seems to always be our major bottle neck, and this time was no different. It took us maybe 25 minutes this go around, though we did kill eachother a few times. You can piece together what happened from the screenshot above. We also always seem to have major network issues on this level though for some reason. I have no idea why but it always seems to happen.

I then proceeded to do it a second time with the Spartan Laser. I really like this one because Arbiter has that "Crap" look on his face. Like he knew this was going to happen.

There was also a random Marine we carried through the entire level. This was our little guy. Nothing mattered more too me than getting him through alive. And by god we did.

After that was the level Cortana. There's not much to say about this one. It's Cortana. The image for it really speaks volumes to be honest.

Finally there was Halo. We did the Warthog run for this all in one sitting without dying. The battle up the hill was a bit more of a struggle, but to be honest, when i grabbed the skull and carried it through it suddenly became a whole lot easier. Maybe it's just luck but i like to imagine the Skull gave Chief the motivation to do it. I also beat my friend's head in with the skull. So that may have helped too.

After this is Halo 4. That will be a bit later though i think. After playing Halo 4 on Legendary and Normal before, I am in no rush too get too it. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate it, but i also am not eager to play it again. Though, i suppose i'll have too in order to get closer to the last 25% of achievements for MCC.

The Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement signed an open letter and to stand with members of the Canadian Coalition on Human Rights in China.

"We wish to express our deep concern regarding Prime Minister Carney’s forthcoming visit to China," a statement reads

At a time of escalating human rights abuses and transnational repression, we believe it is imperative that Canada’s highest political leadership place human rights at the forefront of all high-level engagement with the Chinese government.

Canadian PM Mark Carney is on a state visit in China. Back in April, Mr. Carney said China is the largest threats with respect to foreign interference in Canada and is an emerging threat in the Arctic.

"Democratic politics is not about heroism, but about consistency, responsibility, and a real transformation of people’s living conditions. I can give inflammatory speeches, find antagonists, promise anything, but if the quality of life doesn’t improve, it’s irrelevant."

"Strangely, in Latin America at least, there were sectors that were unable to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine [...] What I saw was that one country was invading another sovereign nation with the intention of seizing its territory, violating international law. And that — regardless of the political affiliation of the current leader of Ukraine and the permanent leader of Russia — was wrong.”

[Boric's] outspoken stance against Venezuela and Nicaragua made him a favorite target of Nicolás Maduro’s regime. However, he criticizes Trump’s operation to arrest the Chavista leader: “That a foreign state would attempt to exert direct control over Venezuelan territory, administer the country, and, eventually, as its president [Trump] indicated, continue military operations until imposing a political transition, sets an extremely dangerous precedent for regional and global stability.”

Wine fans have a reason to smile today. Wine 11.0 is finally here, and it is a big deal for anyone running Windows software on Linux. After a full year of work, more than six thousand code changes, and hundreds of bug fixes, Wine is moving forward in a way that feels like a turning point. This release tightens up major subsystems, improves performance, expands hardware support, and carries a big win for compatibility. If you have been waiting for Wine to feel smoother and a little less fussy, 11.0 might be the moment you jump back in.
