I don't even want windows on raw metal, so I have a virtual machine for work stuff
I'm really sensible, so please use pinky
Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It's got worse since then
Let's campaign so that they ban it
I was born in the 2000's and didn't have an email account until 2012, and even I know what it sounds like.
Is it finally being shut down? Don't get my hopes up
You guys don't have to be so mean. We get it, AI "art" bad, therefore this comic is the literal spawn of satan. I found it actually kind of hilarious, it's so nonsensical and confusing it made me chuckle
"The laptop of theseus" <3
Some day I'll get myself one, when I'm a little uuum... richer :')
May the remains of this pumpkin rise up next year in the form of new pumpklets.
Man, do I love gardening and composting.
My minimal arch installation on my 128 GB RAM monster of a computer
This is my latest attempt at reaching whatever's at the bottom. I've learned from my previous mistakes and I believe I've got a better character this time. I even brought two akhs, a blessed one and a regular one (both lost in this same level). I'm still running out of food and health potions very quickly in the last levels. The bosses are really taxing in terms of health potions, and exploring takes a lot of time, which means I'm using many food items. Here are my items and skills:
So, I've spent about 7 hours in this game and dying at this point was really painful, after killing the DM-300 and surviving the dwarven city (which was incredibly hard) I died at the hands of some monk. No food, no health potions, nada.
I'm playing as a rogue assassin, I had got a level 8 evasion ring, which I was hoping would make it impossible for enemies to hit me. I also had level 2 plate armour with viscosity.
Looking back this was definitely my fault, I think I was too careless in the dwarven city. I lost two ankhs in one level.
Any advice?? This is the farthest down I've got.
That's why I just use a VM, I skip all the complications of having to fix bootloaders and broken installs. If anything goes wrong with windows I just delete the VM. Arch barely uses any RAM, so even back when I had only 8GB, windows ran incredibly well. I've updated to 16GB (because I needed the 64 bit version of excel and I wasn't being able to install it due to RAM requirements). Ever since then, I don't even look back to dual booting.
Funny story, originally my laptop was dual booted, but I removed windows completely and formated the partition, and since it was at the beggining of the drive, and you cannot move blocks around so easily in storage (I needed another SSD or hard drive to copy them momentarily) I was left with a hole in my storage. What I did was, mount the directory with the VM image storage to the empty partition. So now it's kind of "dual booting" with some extra steps and with the added benefit of being able to use both OS' at the same time
[TL;DR] If possible, just use a VM
