Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day agoI fucking hate itunes/music so much for the way they “remove” files they don’t want you to have by renaming them and reformat photo files
and their tv app sucks so bad
but damn they support such good television production and they pretty much give the producers/writers free rein
microsoft , you still have choices, you can choose to not use microsoft
and choose not to play games on line, you can use a pack of real cards if you choose
reminds me, i have to find the unsubscribe button for epic games, they are annoying me

It’s going to be so hard to disentangle everything. And I’m probably not going to be able to play a favourite game if I can’t get it to work in Linux.
And the .odt files I tried sending aren’t able to be opened on the other end. Kind of important when communicating with organisations.
I think what I’m going to do is break it down in steps.
I have to grab back all my pictures and files from the cloud to local storage before a deadline, I’ve got them off One Drive into a differently named folder so it can’t yoink it back but this computer is getting really full.
So I’ll back up my old desktop.
Install whatever Linux that has a legit iso.
Then get everything onto there.
Then I can try to use Wine or whatever to see if I can get Minecraft and online games working.

I strongly recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, I’ve been exclusively using Linux distros for years, Mint is the only one that for me just works how I want out of the box and stays working.

I was trying to sha the Cinnamon iso and none of the numbers matched for any of them despite trying different mirrors.
I might have to give up and try a different one
