The simple way is to dual boot or even simpler, set up a Linux distro in a Windows VM.
Let’s you play/see if the distro works for you.
TBH, I’ve got 1 machine where Windows is more problematic than the Ubuntu that is setup to dual boot… Can’t bring myself to do a fresh install of Windows lol…
Yeah, I realised that, but couldn’t resist it for the lols.
I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.
Artificial satellites? Just for fun, I’m interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:
'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.
Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).
FARTS allow for rapid, ASS to ASS communication. Additionally, Multiplexed Over/Under The Horizon’ allows for increased speeds if ASS to MOUTH is enabled.’

Yeah, but did you include any biobs?
Jesus Christ.
I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.
I tracked down why.
It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.
The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.
And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.
The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.
I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
Every now and then I think ‘OK, this time I surely should be able to switch over to Wayland!’
And there’s always one application or use case that stops me.
Yeah, I’m on nvidia which hasn’t helped either…
All my drives are nvme* now.
I feel so much safer punching in of=/dev/sdaX

I set a different background color on all my machines because of exactly this while using VNC/RDP
I tried upgrading instead of a fresh install.
Needless to say, I ended up doing a fresh install eventually…
Only at “Boil my skin off!” difficulty level
Just last week, I fired up Portal with RTX (on Windows, I’m ashamed to admit), and holy guacamole, I think it stresses my gpu more than any other game in my library!
Every time.
Because this old man hasn’t learnt the lesson…
It was because of ‘security’, which was never explained. And it doesn’t make much sense when other browsers can and do alow it. I’ll see if I can dig up some historical links if I remember tomorrow.
Last time I checked,there was still no acknowledgement of it and appeared to be no intention of ever addressing it. The fact that they’re now telling people to run a webserver suggests that nothing has changed ☹️
Firefox for Android removing the ability to open local html files killed it for me. Currently on Vivaldi.
Well, it’s because after using the system for only a few minutes, I realise it’s not quite right, and I’ll have to spend a few weeks to set it up again!
Excitedly get new machine. Install Debian.
Not so excitedly search error messages.
Dejectedly find need kernel/drivers that’s 18 months later than the Debian versions
boot sysrescuecd to find next distro to write to USB drive …
kick self for buying shiny, latest hardware without checking for linux support. Again…😡
