Nope.

Linux is like Unix and MacOs is (a) Unix system

Idk I liked 7 over vista from the very beginning personally.

8.1 fixed 99.9% of all of this, it was actually quite good but suffered by being called 8.1 instead of 9

I never minded the metro menu tbh.

It’s funny that windows tried to do what is done on Linux (gnome) and Mac and got blasted for it.

I use a full screen style start menu everywhere else.

What?

Vista was ass until the very end.

Windows 8.1 is the last best windows OS

The other side of that coin is the NSA developing SELinux

Right, so be super duper secretive about your observation of them.

If they notice you need to INSIST they’re just crazy and seeing things.

See if you can hire a private investigator

Ubuntu is a perfectly usable operating system, there is a LOT of elitism in the Linux community.

De gustibus non est disputandum

In matters of taste there is no dispute

If money isn’t a problem then gitlab is your best choice.

It’s the most mature of the options you have available to you.

I use gitlab for airgapped networks

dude no shit that sucks

Don’t pirate windows.

Download the official ISOs and then use an activation tool instead.

I don’t think the above scripts work with 8/8.1 but you can likely find activation scripts for them.

Being a tech savvy person in a science field is a one way trip to becoming sysadmin accidentally.

Very helpful

Why is their question, so why is it pretty good?

I’d wager SarcOS was them giving a sarcastic response.

C64 ran “Cassette OS” or really just KERNAL

If they’re internal drives then you choose.

I like to mount drives at root, their parent directory being the logical purpose of the drive.

Got a drive you added that’s gonna be for games?

/games

Is it for movies?

/movies

Or maybe it’s just general data storage?

/data

No need to make it more complicated than it has to be.

This is standard across the industry, unless you are mounting disks that would conform to another strategy (say it’s a drive of repos, it might mounted under /usr/local/src/ as that’s where one would expect user provided source code).

Edit:

Hey, let me say first off I’m probably talking to you all wrong. You’re an adult, and I’m in the “talk to my kid” mindset with this. I apologize for being crass. Shit isn’t easy, I agree, I have been where you are and you’re not alone. You aren’t. Don’t lean into the anger and envy and darker tendencies humans have in these scenarios.

Especially when you choose to not have one.

I assure you even at the bottom of my deepest darkest depression, after 2 COVID deaths and suddenly finding myself a single father left alone with my son … I still CHOSE the isolation route.

It wasn’t the depression and everything else choosing, it was me acquiescing to the sweet sad embrace of it. It was cathartic but it was also drowning.

I don’t mean this to minimize, it is crippling and debilitating but it is still our choice. When you’re failing to choose to get up remember the choice is still yours and turn that into power for the next time.

Take a chance. The worst case scenario is you stop doing the thing you weren’t doing already.

Life is absurd, make your own meaning and your own purpose.

Hobbies is the answer.

Join a gym, go once a week until you want to go more.

Go to trivia at a bar that does it the same day every week.

Find a local club for an interest you have.

Find things that happen on a schedule that you have to show up for.

The problem you’ve described, in my experience, is that it sounds like you don’t have a life for anyone to join you in.

Nothing comes easy, even hobbies, you have to decide you want to do a thing and then do it on purpose even if you don’t want to do that thing in that moment.
