    I didn’t see these questions at all.

    • Do you feel represented in the community?
    • How do you feel, how could the community improve?
    • Do you modify your install in these areas?

    I couldn’t find an answer for this question

    • Why did you start using Linux? (My answer would be, found it on a magazine)

    This question is not distinctive

    • Do you use other Operating Systems? (Yes I do use Android but not on a PC)

    I would expect “independent” as an answer for these questions

    • Where does the distro you use originate from?
    • What origin was your FIRST distro from?






  • Unless you want to feel like Cypher from Matrix, there is no turning back. Jokes aside, if your computer is pre-built or a laptop, it probably already has Windows key saved in BIOS. Though you must install the same version of Windows when you got it the first time. However, there is another way. With a program called Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder, you can extract your installation’s keys (yes, not just the Windows key), and you can use those keys to install Windows later. It’s better anyway because sometimes they don’t give you a key.

    You can debloat your PC after the installation with certain tools.




  • That makes sense. Maybe I’m just old but they are called as programs since punched cards, as well as on Unix, Linux, Windows (until recently apparently).

    Not exactly sure but I think the term “application >> apps” started with mobile phones. So, to me they are different. At least that evokes this meaning in my mind. It seems not with younger people though.
