It's unlikely it will be subscription-only, but I'll probably just opt-out of the AI features, and if that's not an option, I just won't use them. People have pushed me into trying Linux, and as a life-long Windows user, I could never figure it out or get used to it, it's like trying to force me to act neurotypical. If only LinSpire wasn't so expensive, because at least it's something I'm familiar with.

Charging for freeware *shudder*

Aye, I've dipped into several Linux builds over the years, but apart from a stint where I used Ubuntu for Web browsing they were largely curiosities rather than proper workstations. That said, I've been recommended Mint as the most Windows-like front end, and have a portable build that can run straight from a thumb drive(!) for those that want to test-run things first.

my Linux experience started with dual-booting 32bit Ubuntu on my old Windows XP desktop PC, but I hardly uses it until it's probably become unusable from hard drive changes

Virtualbox made me revisit Linux from installing assorted distros into it, as well I installed Portable Linux into one of my Thumb drive to hack computers that's hard to boot. and for my main Linux Distros(other than VMs and portable distros) I gone with Steam Deck's SteamOS(for now, at least before Windows 10 got sunsetted next year)

Yeah, I believe there was a big controversy over the LinSpire team charging you to use it, but I think it has to do with the legal issue they were in with Microsoft back when it was still called Lindows, and that's why they changed the name. 

I've tried Mint, and it seems more likely to be something I could get used to. My only problem is that most of the programs I use on a daily basis such as Clip Studio Paint and Moho for example are not compatible, so I'm hoping Celsys will release a Linux build for both of them before I consider making a full move.

I'm just going to edit this down to erase the duplicate post (my connection sucks), but I believe one of my brothers has a Steam Deck, and he's built custom computers before too. He might know more about this than I do, I could probably ask him more about this stuff, and see what he recommends.

Theres a surprising amount of fanart for GaaIno. I don't even remember if they interacted at all, so it feels like a bit of a crack ship to me. No judgement of course, it's 100 times more normal than some of the stuff I like. I guess they do kinda look nice together.

Okay my last post about Gaara x Ino. I was thinking about them and... I like it now O.o I didn't understand it at first until I remember they both like gardening so that already gives them something to bond over. It's like the extrovert adopting introvert trope. I thought of a scenario where Gaara becomes a regular customer at the Yamanaka flower shop because he takes interest in the cacti and they slowly warm up to each other. Or a funny scenario where Gaara takes it upon himself to water the plants while Ino is gone because they look dry and he later threatens her if she lets them wilt again, which leads Ino to discuss it with her dad and offer him a job. They become coworkers Ugh the more I think about them the more I realize how many cute scenarios you can get out of it. They are a diabetes inducingly sweet dynamic. Truly, proof that you should never knock a crack ship until you try it ??

there's people in deviantart that hate Pokemon Horizons for their inability to accepting Ash's retirements from Pokemon anime

worse, when they also hate older seasons of Original anime of Pokemon just as much as Pokemon Horizons for whatever reason

My favorite pokemon generations are 1, 2, and 5 mostly.

I'm familiar with Pokemon Generations 1-4 most

this user is the reason I'm brony

I wish I was not at work right now, I wish I was at home sleeping.

Guess what's Linux distro I'll use to either replace Windows 10 in my desktop PC, once latter got sunsetted in the autumn of next year

not only my Desktop lacks TPM chip for running Windows 11
