This whole thread is wrong lol. Sampling is musicianship. Simplifying a pop banger from the 60s down to its essence is creativity.

Does she know Buckethead? Can you draw her hanging out with Buckethead?

Good but expensive. I really appreciated them doing the organizing for me. Unfortunately, I had trouble keeping up with the stuff they sent me and a lot of it went bad in the fridge.

The best part was all the recipes for sauces. I never make sauces on my own and I still don't, but it was great making them when they gave you all the ingredients and told you what to do.

Ah, gotcha.

I'm not technical enough to understand the functional difference between flatpak and snap, but I know that snaps are centrally controlled by Canonical and thus I assume not as enshittification resistant as flatpak.

But from the end user perspective, they can be a lot simpler to use than PPAs for random software. For me they're kind of a guilty pleasure.

They are a pain if they ever break. You basically have to replace it or get a specialist to work on it.

Can you wire a normal headphones to a USB c directly?

I had so much trouble with this as a kid.

"Why did you poke a hole in my Styrofoam cup and let the drink leak all over the table?" "I honestly don't know."

Like in hindsight it makes sense that this action had a consequence, but I have no explanation for why 10 year old me didn't think this through, or why I would do it in the first place.

Adults always thought I was being difficult but I was so confused :(

Ubuntu is great. Lots of guides for things, great community support, and things usually just work. Plenty easy enough to do what you want to do without having to learn a bunch of stuff all the time.

I think this is why it is not the preferred choice for experts who want to configure everything themselves, or have strong opinions about the internals of how it works.

But I basically want to never have to think about the os if I don't have to.

So October is coming, and this is as good a time as any to switch to linux, but it is somewhat of an overwhelming task. I'm already used to desktop linux, but I am NOT good at migrating apps and settings and stuff. So I'll have some blindspots. I thought perhaps we could come up with some kind of collaborative outline for how to do it. Here are my ideas.

  • Make backups of all data.
  • Install linux as a dual boot / new machine.
  • Troubleshoot any hardware / software issues.
  • Make some lists on windows of apps
    -- Apps you absolutely need to have / replace
    -- Apps that would be nice to have / replace
    -- Apps that you don't need to migrate over.
  • Migrate user data, files, etc., to linux
  • Install apps on linux
  • For each app on the lists
    -- export settings and data from windows
    -- import settings and data into linux

At each step along the way, you can check things off the list.

Not everyone can switch to linux, but for those who want to, would this be a good procedure? What would you add to it?
