I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄

Yah know, I got laid off in 2014 and it still hurts a little.

I haven’t had windows for 5 or 6 years when I switched to Mac. But earlier this year I bought a cheap Windows 11 machine because Windows was required for a contract I thought I was going to get (but didn’t). I was going to return it but thought meh it might be nice to have a personal laptop I can play around with. But I was unimpressed with Windows 11 so much that it mostly gathers dust now.

I’m thinking this is the perfect opportunity to take the plunge into Linux. Has anyone on here used Linux and have any advice?

The men where I live don’t seem to buy into the idea of toxic masculinity. They’re fashion conscious, spend a lot of time on their hair and if they don’t carry a “man bag” per se, then they’re likely to at least be spotted holding their GF’s purse. A lot of guys do cardio, not a lot do bodybuilding. Most men ride Vespa scooters and cars with fart cannon mufflers are not unheard of, but vanishingly rare. Gigantic pickup trucks are nonexistent.

But even here the most popular men’s body wash variety is “charcoal.” 😂
