You're right, but I guess others haven't yet learned this wisdom. Wisdom cannot be taught, only learned. 🤷

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here's the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run.

Step 4: Play around with your new Linux installation as though it were your real OS.

The only stats I could find show that historically the US has had a terrible record for worker deaths during labor disputes.

It could be random chance. It also could just as likely not be. The only correct answer is "we don't know".

I'm so tired of this freepressjournal trash, it's always some clickbait article that looks like it was written by a child for a middle school book report. Can we stop posting throwaway sources like this and use real sources instead?
