  • ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.

    If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.

    There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.




  • Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.










  • It’s extremely flooded at the moment. Going to any state college you will see how many other kids decided this was the path for them. If you like it, it makes sense. It’s extremely hard to get that kind of job (a programmer) unless you really study and work outside of school and actively apply to internships. A computer science degree is not necessarily limited to programming, however, and do not feel ashamed if once you come to college you feel like this is not for you, because there are always opportunities outside of software engineering such as network engineering or system administration.
