Yup!

“Their intentions are clearly deeply conflicted, and their intentions are clearly not completely in the best interest of society,” he said. “I mean, they’re obviously CEOs, they’re obviously companies, and obviously they’re advocating for themselves.”

I love this bit. “You can’t trust those CEOs, they’re completely conflicted. Unlike me, I’m just a CEO looking out for society.”

I really like my friends though. Don’t you folks? Last 3 lines, 4th last if my pals know, sure. Do others really not have people whom we love?

telling users to mess with system settings in a way that will fuck up a lot of things up if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing.

In my head, this is the subtext of much linux info.

I appreciate both your responses, really awesome stuff!

Goddamn the linux community is good people.

Heya thanks so much for that explanation, took a couple read throughs and some thinking but I think I get it!

The time ans thought you put into that are much appreciated and so emblematic of the awesome nature of the linux world.

Thanks again!

I uhhh, just loaded Mint the other week. Any chance someone can English this for me?

I feel these memes are like us looking at rich peoples’ instagrams, yes at some point in time some folks lived like this but many more did not and in fact lived much more miserably then now.

Absolutely agree! It was amazing how much just worked.

I spent a lot of time tinkering and just having fun with all my settings etc. Though I did have to battle a little as my setup, which gave Windows headaches, is a little unusual. (Three screens, one is connected to a receiver and then to a tv, so the sound and third screen are connected. I’ve got it functional etc but am really looking forward to diving in and getting everything to work well!)

Thanks! I’m lucky and at home I have a pair of computers from work. And happily, had so few issues with the initially install that I didn’t really need to use them!

(That being said, absolutely great advice.)

Went with Mint as I was pretty nervous. Already thinking about which distro for my old laptops though…
