I didn’t used to be this guy, but… LINUX.

Hey now, you've got to use something to download ~~Firefox~~ a Linux ISO on a brand new windows install.

There is gateway software out there, folks!

Don't jump off the deep end like this degenerate...

I’m running distro installs on perfectly set-up rigs and customizing the bios just to feel normal. I installed Wine and Proton on my Pebble just because I could. The other day I blew a guy so that I could talk to him about start-up efficiency and convince him to take an Arch boot drive from me that he promised to install on his 2008 dell mini PC. I told him it would run Skyrim!

Learn from my mistakes. Linux… not even once.

Sucking data out of an ethernet cable isn't normal. But on Linux it is.

But seriously, did it run?

I mean, there were a few extra installs and whatnot, but hell yeah it worked, because that’s Linux, baby.

Edit: The part about the 2008 dell mini pc is inspired by true events, but it was mint, not arch, I don’t fuck with arch. And with some tweaking it did run skyrim.
