    Linux Inc. does not spend billions of dollars ensuring you have no options but Linux.

    It also doesn’t exist, so that helps too.

    I just moved my EXT4 home folder off of my old Cachy install onto my new NixOS install on a different drive before deciding to stick with just installing a fresh CachyOS on that same drive meaning a reformatting. I had meant to just copy the files so now I basically just nuked all my data :(

    Mad at myself right now as I’m seeing if i can save any data using ddrescue and DMDE

      I didn’t know you couldn’t just move an encrypted partition a bit to the left. Ended up wiping out the headers without backing them up.

      All my data is technically still there, I guess. ¯\(ツ)/¯

      There is no fixing microsoft

      But there is. People create their own fixes, configurations and utilities all the time.

        By reverse engineering black box shit, then providing binaries everyone is just supposed to trust don’t also contain malware?

          And those binaries are to fix the black box shit that is subject to alteration at any time, rendering them useless.

          Yeah, because they usually don’t. One reason I started using Linux was that I started caring more about security. However, Windows tweaking apps never burned me.

    One of the reasons I love Linux, actually.

    Nobody to blame but myself, so let’s start figuring this shit out I guess
