I genuinely laughed out loud. Thanks for that.

On the other hand Tidal will force feed you your favorite songs over and over instead of suggesting something similar but slightly less popular.

Try it out and see if it fits you.

There’s plenty of resources and helpful people out there to help you, and a lot of new shiny tech and toys to enjoy.

Have fun and help others if you can.

Dyslexia sometimes hits hard.

If you’ve never heard the MTV Unplugged version, do yourself a favour.

Behind the 80’s synthpop cheerfulness there’s a lovely sad song.

I wouldn’t recommend Linux to my dad or any of my friends.

Well, you’d be surprised. Sometimes it is just the lack of familiarity that gets in the way.

For instance I have a 86 year old relative that decided 10 years ago that wanted a computer to get in touch with friends. I installed Xubuntu and explained the basics. My relative has been happily using it all this time (using Facebook, mail, some solitaire games, some word processing) and all I do is the occasional update. No viruses, no ransomware.

People who already use Windows can have a harder time adapting to a different system than those that never used a computer.

Terminator.

When you need to have dozens of sessions open, Terminator is a good option.

I mostly use systemrescueCD, but in fact it doesn’t really matter. All I usually need is to mount the root filesystem, dev, sys and proc, then chroot into this environment and fix the breakage. Any live image will work for that.

Thank you, that’s an important distinction to make.

A digitized handwritten signature is not a digital signature. The latter is valid and enforced in court in some countries, the former is worthless.

I’m currently using LibreOffice 7.3.

PDF editing is never pretty.

The format itself was intended for finished document, not for editing. The editing you can do very much depends on the application that created the document, but most documents I see are just a bunch of unconnected textboxes and images, so not very edit-friendly. Some PDF files, scanned in documents for instance, are just bitmap images strung together.

You can do basic editing, but how easy it will be depends on how the document was created.

TLDR: if you need to do a quick fix, LibreOffice Draw will help you. If you need to do a lot of editing, you’ll have to pay Adobe for the privilege.

Can’t really help with your main question, but I’ll add that Raid0 is a good way of losing everything if any single one of those disks dies. Please make sure you keep updated backups.

Does it run the games you want to play? Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

In university we used to prank each other by accessing less knowledgeable colleagues’ machines via ssh and running random commands. We would drive them nuts by ejecting the CD tray, or playing random wav files, or popping up silly websites. The lan was not really secure, neither were the passwords.
