I don't know if you happen to have any other machines available to you, but I do recommend you consider giving it a go on a machine you don't share with another person, or at least dual-booting on that machine. It could be pretty jarring to be dumped onto another operating system so quickly, especially as one works out how to use the programs they had been running just fine before.

I recently made the swap to Linux myself, and a dedicated laptop for that transition has made my life a lot easier. I still have my old laptop on Windows, heavens forbid I absolutely need it, but I do find some issues with compatibility. As another person has mentioned, Roblox does not offer native Linux support, which means you have to run a program that more or less tricks Roblox into thinking you're playing on a smartphone. You can do the same for Bedrock Minecraft if you want to play cross-platform.

For a lot of things there are alternatives that tend to work even better in some ways. For others, there are workarounds. And for others yet, you just can't use some applications you might have been using before.

Otherkin, or therians, are not a kink. They're folks that believe themselves on a spiritual level to have the spirit of something else (animal spirits).

Hey, I only recently dipped my toes into Linux about a month ago and I went with Fedora, more specifically the KDE spin of Fedora. My experience has been fantastic- I'm not even dual booting and this laptop has become my daily driver! My computer seems pretty similar in terms of specs, it's a ThinkPad X1 Carbon from 2017 that's also rocking an i7 and 16gb RAM. I see a ton of folks recommending Mint or Ubuntu or Pop! as "Linux for noobs" but I feel like you don't necessarily need to start there. I didn't and I've been having a really great time!

That's how it works on the adding machine I use at work. That might not be universal, but if I input something wrong I press C and retype it, meanwhile if I need to reset it all I press CE.

 

For the first time in my adult life I'm not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I'm passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I'm seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y'all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?

Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don't disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I'll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall's input!
