Off the bat, one observation: #Windows11 is a PAIN to install. I had a completely unformatted drive and the installer couldn't install the OS on it until I went into the command line and "cleaned" the drive. Compare this to #ZorinOS, which installed without crying at all.
On top of this, the #Windows11 installation is taking twice as long as the #ZorinOS installation. For #ZorinOS I chose to run updates upon install, but #Windows11 forces me to run the updates. Nonetheless, installing #Windows11 alone took slightly longer than installing both #ZorinOS and its updates. I gave my younger sibling a bath, it was taking so long (I'm not even joking!). It's installing the updates now, but that's taking about as much time as installing #Windows11 did. 😮💨
I'm installing #Windows11 in large part because it's good for me to have some version of #Windows, but if I can magically make my #DRM removal tools and games run on #Linux, I'll be kissing #Windows goodbye almost completely.
Actually not happy about this because I have some app settings I'll need to do over again but at least I use mostly #FOSS apps that are available on #Linux so I'll be able to reinstall everything I had before in my #Linux environment except my #DRM removal tools and some of my games
I also have a secondary drive I'll try to put #Windows11 on so if I REALLY need #Windows11 I'll be able to boot to that as well
Strange, after installing #Windows11 on the other hard drive, I can't boot to #ZorinOS on the main drive. Apparently not installing the version with the right graphics drivers causes issues later? So I'm reinstalling it, with the #NVIDIA drivers. This one is on me I think 😂
@xianc78 I see. Well if castration is a treatment to a physical condition then it should be allowed ofc. But castration or mutilation for cosmetic or mental reasons isn’t proper medical treatment.
If you wanna castrate or mutilate yourself of have somebody do that to you, I guess that's fine. I support freedom. But don't call that a medical decision 😂 That's just lunacy.
Okay so why did #FSE and #SPC die? Isn’t #pleroma / #akkoma supposed to be so much better than #Mastodon? Why then couldn’t they run at full capacity indefinitely?
I’m not hating on #rebased BTW, #Poast seems to be doing fine from what little I hear. It’s just funny that I heard so many people over there boasting and bragging about how #pleroma and #akkoma are so much better than #Mastodon because they have more features and run lighter, etc. etc. meanwhile those instances are down now while instances like mstdn.social have been running at full throttle for years now with a pretty similarly sized userbase IIRC
