I went with Mint. I've read it's the easiest for beginners. Once I learn more about this new environment, I may experiment with others. I have 3 1T drives in my PC and I have one dedicated for that process whenever I get to that point. Thats the idea anyways.

I switch to Linux 2 days ago and have been enjoying testing my Steam library. So far, everything Ive tested run BETTER in Mint than they did on Win10. Im currently waiting on BG3's massive 120GB download to complete but I'm looking forward to finally booting it up again.

The Linux community has been so friggin helpful in getting me up and going.

I'm installing Mint for the first time at this very moment. So far, it's easier than I anticipated. Fuck You Microsoft.

Edit: bro, firstly, what the fuck and where did all this performance come from?!?! I vastly underestimated how many resources windows was hogging. I downloaded Steam (easy-peasy) and then Project Zomboid just as a test. This game runs like butter now. I was having major problems with it before. To the point I basically stopped playing. I know its just one example but I haven't had my machine run this well in several years, I feel. Also, got Spotify running. Super easy. I need to figure out how to get my VPN set up (ProtonVPN) but so far, I'm kind of in shock. I can't wait to actually dig in and see what I can do with this new setup.

Bullshiiiit. Companies will never do things they think will lose them profits. I used to pay $18-$25 a ticket and now its hundreds for the nose bleeds. Its 100% because of ticket master and I have no faith they'll give those profits up. God they fucking suck.

It's true. Im 40 now but i never had kids and chased my dreams from age 14. I dont tell any stories irl very much anymore because some people think I'm showing out or making shit up. Examples:

  • Had coffee with Pierce Broznan... at his house in Malibu. Wild story.
  • Avengers Endgame spoiler crew sound guy. Wild story.
  • I was at Derek Rose's house, doing an interview when he got traded from the Bulls the first time. Wild story. And so much other random shit like that.

So, back in 2009, I lived in a tour bus touring with big acts like Linkin Park, Pearl Jam and guys like that. Well, we did a little stint with Madonna and we went from LA, straight to NYC, down to Miami and straight back to LA in I think about a week. It was one of the most brutal on road experiences I've ever had to endure for 4 shows. I was on a really sweet fully decked out tour bus too, so it was the best case scenario. It gave me a new appreciation for how motherfucking vast my country is. However, I would NOT recommend the experience.

I did get to meet Spike Lee and Chris Cornell in Miami tho and even had birthday cake with Justin Timberlake while in NYC. It was his birthday and he was doing a music thing inside our bus. He sat right next to me at the front of the bus and we talked about Pink Floyd. Super nice guy. It was a pretty wild week.

I don't think you read my response. I wasn't attacking you at all. I'm not one of those mean shits on here. I certainly meant no aggression.

 

Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

 
 

Ya'll said no stupid questions, so here it goes... I've been on a huge Coolio kick the past 6 months or so I've been listening to his albums but haven't watched any of this music videos. Tonight, I decided to smoke some weed (Not a super regular thing for me) and watch some Coolio music videos. Do any fellow 90's kids recognize any of the three other guys in the car with Coolio? If this isn't the place to ask, I'd really appreciate some direction.
