I hope you feel better after typing all that, because I didn’t need it.

Don’t know where all the “private browsing” stuff came in, as if I mentioned anything about using a browser’s “privacy mode”, because I didn’t.

You appear to have conflated some of what I said, but I honestly don’t care enough to figure out where. Use whatever you want, it doesn’t matter to me, but casting Mullvad browser as pointless when it just doesn’t fit your particular needs or preferences is just ignorant.

You asked what we’re using, that’s what I’m using.

I treat the instability like a fun puzzle.

This is how I view my dating life now.

You can install Mullvad directly from its repo, not having account syncing ability or being able to turn certain things on or off is part of the security features. It’s the same for the Firefox Focus mobile browser. Mullvad is a midpoint between Librewolf and Tor Browser, incorporating letterboxing for anti-fingerprinting. If you want personal information saved for later sessions or synced, you need to use something else, like Librewolf or regular FF.

America would benefit tremendously if the GOP were out.

Well, score one in the user-friendly column for Linux Mint.

I uninstalled python3 in Debian 12, it said “sure, no problem”, and instantly broke the desktop and on reboot could not log in.

Tried the same thing on Linux Mint Debian Edition, and first it refused because one of Cinnamon’s libraries depended on it, but when I included that library in the remove and added purge, it said:

“E: Removing essential system-critical packages is not permitted. This might break the system.”

Thank you, LMDE.

In addition to using virtual machines, remember that once a virtual machine is installed, you can use 7zip (or any zipping program) to archive the whole folder containing the vm files, so if something screws up on the vm, you can reset by deleting the folder, restore it from the zipped archive, and trying again without having to do the whole installation process over and over. You can make as many of those archives as you want as you get a vm install to different milestones.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away.

Install the latest version of VMware Player (17.5) on your current OS, then install linux distros on virtual machines to figure things out first.

If you settle on any you like, make a full disk image backup, before repartitioning to install linux as a dual boot setup and try it on hardware that way.

Keep the Windows partition around, if nothing else just for games or apps that don’t work on linux, or as your backup working profession setup.

edit: some will recommend VirtualBox instead, but for me (on Windows at least) it always resizes on startup incorrectly and obscures part of the desktop, so I have to manually resize on every VM boot. VMware does it properly each time for me without issues.

LOL I swear that was an accidental pun, thank you for pointing it out

I want to do this now just to see what happens.

meanwhile

Childs is part of the St. Marys’ governing body, a five-person city commission, and a heavily religious group that attends the Society of St. Pius X, or SSPX. SSPX is a strict religious sect that broke away from the Catholic church.

That doesn’t sound scary or anything.

Hmmm, possibly, and agreed. I’m switching back and forth between the Voyager and Avelon apps myself.

He was in community theater. What shame?
