The generation that raised you will say "yeah, duh, it's common sense" without a hint of introspection to realize that it was their job to teach you this kind of shit.

Between the Technology Connections channel on YouTube just being legitimately interesting and having just bought a house, I'm speedrunning a lot of information about DIY maintenance to mitigate the disasters. When it comes to knowing how your water heater works or where your main water valve is, better late than never. Routine stuff like cleaning your dishwasher filter and running the machine properly will have immediately recognizable effects that greatly benefit your life. And unlike other people who you've heard shit like that from, I'm not selling anything lol.

8 year olds still have a lot of potential to grow. This piece of shit has shown a track record of about 70 years of non growth. Imagine getting rewarded for a behavior for 70 years straight. Even if he had the humility and intelligence to do it, he doesn't have the time left it would take to rewire his brain against that kind of conditioning.

To be clear, I'm not excusing him. I'm explaining that his brain is irreversibly fucking broken. Anybody holding on to hope that he changes in any meaningful way, don't you think that getting shot at would've been a humbling moment if ever there were to be one? By being a disgusting, hateful, stupid predator asshole consistently for his whole life, he's gotten absurd wealth, a model wife, an army of cultist followers, and he got to be president. Twice. When was he supposed to have learned that he should really take the time and energy necessary to do some growing?

Dope! I appreciate you taking the time! So it sounds like a slightly less bloated version of 10 that gets more support, but it may not be exactly legal and breezy to obtain for my personal home use.

With the possible exception of finding drivers for a device or two, it sounds like I'll be better off just pivoting to a Linux distro mid 2025. I have been happy with SteamOS on my docked steam deck with m+kb and controller, so I'm sure I won't be missing much by picking a popular distro that I can find troubleshooting guidance for when I hit inevitable snags.

A few questions since you seem to know much more about this than I can probably even find from searching:

  • What is "IoT"? What is "LTSC"?
  • Other than update support, how is this different from my existing home laptop's Windows 10?
  • Is this free? Will there be obnoxious limitations or reminders to pay to activate?
  • Why should I as a medium skill home computer user without work needs opt for this over Mint, Ubuntu, Nobara, Arch, or whatever other distro somebody would insist I use? I don't need Office.

Just choosing to phrase it with an air of plausible deniability paired with a pun related to the industry.
