Dragostea Din Tei ("Numa Numa") is unironically one of my favourite songs. It wouldn't have blown up as a meme if it didn't go so hard.

Pepas by Farruko is another bop.

I wouldn't recommend dual booting anything with Windows, especially if you're not familiar with installing multiple operating systems. Windows will pretty frequently fuck up your boot settings when it updates because it doesn't respect not being the only OS on your system and will cause way more problems than it solves.

My recommendation if you really want to stay on Linux is to run Linux as your only OS and then run Windows from a VM for the apps you absolutely need to use. VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes are good options if you want a regular Windows VM with little to no integration with the host Linux instance. There are also software that will create an experience like Parallels on Mac with Windows apps that appear as regular windows in your Linux desktop (I've heard about WinBoat but don't personally use it so can't say if I recommend it or not). For most games, Proton should have you covered.

If you want distro recommendations, I'd say Fedora or Linux Mint are good options for general users getting into Linux. If you do a lot of gaming, I've heard good things about Bazzite.

The easiest way would be to boot a live USB of a distro that uses the latest kernel (like Arch or Arch-based distros, OpenSuse Tumbleweed, etc). That way it's temporary and won't modify your current install. If you find that the latest kernel does solve your issue you can always install the distro you were testing with.

That's on you for choosing a Lemmy app/instance with ads.

You almost certainly hate China yet used a Chinese phone/PC to make this comment.

.ml should follow suit, add .world as well.

Watch as all the people complaining about .ml in .ml communities freak out about actually not having to hear from us tankie authoritarian Chinese Russian bots again.

"The hippies preaching veganism are classist because vegan food is expensive!"

See, this is what all the carnist arguments come down to. Shamelessly willing to sacrifice animal lives, the climate, and by extension the future of your own species on this planet for your tastebuds, and don't anyone dare criticize you on it otherwise they're the problem.

Every American who called Russians orcs better be getting ready to fully embrace that label.

Most of the world hates them

Just most of the white world

Why is Lenin wearing the Scumbag Steve hat?

What a terribly designed project if even compilation requires sudo. These "sandwich" maintainers don't know what they're doing.

As an immigrant who had to learn English (and a very small amount of French) and also programming languages, programming languages are much, much easier. You don't have to deal with tenses or conjugation, you don't have to learn pronounciation rules because most things you express in programming is not directly pronouncable, there isn't a million weird syntax and spelling exceptions that you just have to memorize, and you don't have this disparity between formal and casual language. Learning technical or literary writing is even more complex.

Computer science as a whole is in my opinion more like learning a language. Once you know the fundamental concepts of computation, different programming languages are more like dialects than full languages.

ChrisFix said once (in the first Mustang video at 7:40) that you try old gasoline in your lawnmower. If the lawnmower works, you can probably use it in a car.

Seeing a massive cumulonimbus cloud structure from a plane. The diagrams in university don't do it justice.

If you use one of those regularly just buy an ebike. Doesn't take that long for the cost of those ultra short term rental apps to exceed buying your own.

For-profit cororate tech: Goes down all the time and horifically inefficient despite having trillions to throw at R&D

Some random critical infrastructure open source project with three maintainers basically working for free: The most goddamn robust and optimized code to ever touch your silicon.

It's significantly easier to make a third party GUI for a command line tool than to make a third party CLI for a GUI only tool because you'll be working with an opaque binary that doesn't have any public APIs.
