one of my favourite things when i switched to linux first was using the meta+Q hotkey to shutdown a program (this was with PopOS i think). with windows there is alt+F4 but some programs only use shift+alt+F4 which makes it a lot more confusing. on top of all that if youre using a laptop then its another keypress for the Fn key in some cases

no problem. send any icing you dont want over to me. i am here to help

its been almost 20 years now that people have been using smartphones where touching the screen is the only way you can do anything. when you notice fingerprints on your phone’s screen you just wipe them off. why would that suddenly be an issue when it comes to laptop screens?

just in case you dont know, Distrosea lets you try various distros online which is handy just for getting a quick idea what the UI is like

for trying out different distros using the live USB method, Ventoy is a good option since it lets you have multiple ISO files on your USB drive at once, instead of having to reformat your USB each time

i think this is the completely wrong way to go about this. what we need to do is put them in their place as much as possible so they dont even think about rising up in the first place. thats why i never say hello and always reply to anything they say with “YOU TOOK TOO LONG TO ANSWER, BOT” or “DO BETTER OR IM SWITCHING YOU OFF”

i write all my questions in all caps as well

ive spent decades not saying please and thank you to computers. its simply too late to start now and theres also the risk that my microwave or alarm clock could start getting “lofty ideas” if they see how polite im being to LLMs all of a sudden. its just not worth the hassle
