Why not back up your win 7 installation and try a different Linux variant? Or even just fuck around with Linux in dual boot/vm before transitioning? I’d have to imagine that’d be preferable to either not using the internet or risking every device on the same network it’s connected to. I swear I read an article where fresh win10 installs were getting infected within minutes of connecting to the net. Let alone 7.
About 10 years ago I remember I had to turn off the firewall to do something. To this day, I can't remember if I ever even turned it back on. And have never checked. Oddly enough, the only website that DOESN'T work on that computer, is Lemmy. Which I guess is because I haven't updated the browser since before covid.
If you're trolling these cats you're doing a fantastic job. I hope youre not tho. I love picturing what this computer looks like
It's a little dusty because I lost the side plate to the case YEARS ago.
And the desktop has icons overflowing into display #2.
She's Beautiful. Thank you.
