  • I’ll probably transition my AMD 8350 build over to Linux when Win10 stops being supported. As opposed to my mom’s FX-8370 build, which I’ll probably just have to replace with a new Windows 11 system, as there’s no way I’m expecting her (an elderly woman) to learn anything other than Windows. Especially since she’s reliant on Windows-only apps.

    The actual hardware she’s using will probably be converted to a Linux Desktop, but I’ll have to migrate her data to a new mini Windows 11 PC or something.


  • Everyone else has answered your other questions, but let me just say that I’ve used KDE Neon (while distro hopping) it’s both beautiful and functional. The latest KDE developments are really solid and intuitive, and based on their development updates I’ve seen on Mastodon and elsewhere, it seems like they’re really starting to understand their userbase.

    I.E. they understand that most people want to double click icons to launch them even though almost the entire development team prefers single click. They’re not doing the tunnel-vision dev thing where they force what they love on users even though the vast majority of the userbase prefers the opposite.

    Edit: It looks and feels gorgeous, and even similar alternatives like Kubuntu kind of feel a little worse to me. Then again, I’m a serious Cinnamon / KDE fan, so other peoples’ mileage may vary.

    Gotta be careful at those moments. Some banks and credit unions “forget” that there’s a bill pending RIGHT before they deduct it permanently. It happens right when they swap a deduction from “pending” to final. Can up to an hour lag (or more) before they do it too.

    I learned the hard way, but back then, my credit union was nice and didn’t charge overdraft fees for the first overdraft in a day. Now they’ve basically changed all their rules to basically being the same as a regular scuzzy bank, but they don’t have the perks, benefits, or number of locations as a scuzzy bank, so I’m thinking of just dropping them.
