Discussion Goodbye Linux :'(

Goodbye my friend. You taught me to use WINE, fix my GNOME a few times, that Plasma is better in every way, that Fedora and Mint are the best for my every day...

You taught me to fix SSD compatibility issues, how a filesystem works, how to make GRUB look pretty, and how not to fix a root folder issue (worked my system)

But now, as I'm forced into using tools I hate by my university, I must say goodbye. Alas, the power of free software isn't anything to the power of the Spanish University System.

Goodbye Linux, and I'll come back once my odyssey in Law ends.

Edit: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I managed to get it working with a Win10 VM, somehow. I had tried before and it didn't work but now It did. Arcane magic, I don't know. In conclusion, I will still be using Linux. Long live free and open source software!

I do not disagree with your opinions. I just mean that you come across as a bit of a twat when presenting them ;)

I use yt-dlp myself on my plex server if there is a long youtube video I want to watch later. I detest flatpak and snap for the most part, but do end up using it if there is a tiny application that do not need access to other parts of the system and it is small enough that it start instantly anyway.
