It is a nice look into the switch from a perspective of a windows user. But since he is experimenting there is a also a lot of bad choices or wrong information.

He gripes about things not going smoothly while replacing his whole desktop environment (when was the last time you replaced your explorer.exe?).

And clamping to old ways of doing things. Which is understandable but would go a lot better with a little bit of guidance. Why force Chrome while Firefox was probably pre-installed or Chromium also works. Using Filezilla while Dolphin can probably do it in an integrated way. Using Notepad++ while Kate probably covers most of his use-cases.

This doesn't invalidate his experiences but it does indicate a resistance to switch.

There is some valid criticisms as well though. The docking station that bugs out or KDE Connect that is confused. We can improve those things, but hardly force Logitech to bring their (horrible) software suite to Linux.

Maybe he should give it another few weeks to actually feel that while his old ways might not transfer over 1:1 the new ways give him a lot more power.

The show they're talking about is American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden . Fyi.

The asshole also keeps waving his Dutch ancestry around. But he left as a small child and can't even speak the language. After the lies no Dutchman wants anything to do with this lying piece of shit.

I must say I haven't been much impressed by movies this year, but maybe you have some recommendations?

I think the movie was... just fine.. There were some funny moments and I like Jack Quaid. But there was really nothing special in it. And it irked me a bit to see the protagonist get pretty nasty maimed.. even though he just shook it off.

All in all hardly a memorable movie for me. I've recently watched Borderline and that one made a better impression.

When I learned that you could solve it using some standard moves the magic was completely gone.

What a horrible human being. If destroying books or repressing knowledge is part of your dogma you are on the wrong side of history.

Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu.. Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

I always liked penguins and Tux.. But that movie cemented penguins as my spirit animal :)
