Oh damn, would not have expected that to work. The worst hack I ever used is when I helped a friend install Linux who didn’t have any spare (working) USB drives around. He did have a spare SSD in his PC however, so I ended up flashing the ISO to that.
So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....
Police brutality is the excessive and unwarranted use of force by law enforcement against an individual or a group. It is an extreme form of police misconduct and is a civil rights violation.
I think you meant to say that the police using force is not necessarily wrong, but that’s absolutely not what brutality is.
I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.
Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.
I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.
About half a year into this “experiment”, my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn’t working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn’t for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.
Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It’s not the most “exciting” setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.

Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?
