I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.
Bingo. I haven’t had a windows install mess up my bootloader in a while, granted I haven’t booted my windows partition in a while either. As long as you create a separate partition for the bootloader, it’s stupid easy to fix with a liveusb.
Another industry becoming enshitified. I really wish there was something we, the people, could do about this, because this really fucking sucks. Average people won’t care though, because shiny.
Sure, but the article was saying they’re on an acquisition frenzy, scooping up any and every alley they can. Most smaller cities only have maybe one alley is the point, where Bowlero has an effective monopoly.
Oh they understand the secularity of government just fine, and that’s the paramount problem with this country to them. In their view, we should all be bound by biblical law, and anyone who strays from those views should be eliminated.

It just has a crap load of software packages it depends on to work properly (though a number of them seem like fonts). I have reasonably fast computer, and it’s been compiling for about 45 minutes at this point.
I finally got back on the horse a few months ago after about a 10 year hiatus from the Linux world, and I am just cautious about what I install because I’ve borked many distro installs over the years. Since my DD is also for work, and I don’t have the downtime to troubleshoot or reinstall because I went on a package install spree without doing my due diligence on what the packages I’m installing are actually doing, I’d rather take Flatpak for a spin through an Arch VM just to get a feel for it and any kinks I might encounter.
A lot has changed in the past decade, and while I’m amazed at the stability these days, I still err on the side of caution, and also don’t want to fill up my install with a bunch of random stuff I don’t actually need. Same reason I’m also cautious about using AUR. I know dependency hell has very much improved, but call it PTSD for lack of a better term.

I’m right there with you. As silly as it is, I absolutely love the touchscreen on my Lenovo. I could live without it, sure, I don’t wanna. Once framework supports it, I’m there.
