@brokenfingers because cats are assholes. Everyone knows that. 😜 It's not at all an absolute -- I am a dog person, and I like cats. . . even though they are assholes.

@jondavidenas Yay! I'm glad to hear it. Let me know how things work out for you.

@mpjgregoire @ink_slinger I agree. Shorter is better. Whichever works best is good for me. :)

The only argument I can think of for #cdnpoli is that more people might expect conversations to be there. So using it might mean that more people are in on the conversation, and that we don't loop ourselves out of new conversations that start as more twitter refugees come on board.

@bobjonkmangreen Oh! Nice tip. Thanks. :)

@criptos Welcome! :)

@koyu @deadsuperhero I think it's the hair.

quad@masto.quad.moe haha. I have to admit, systemd has really grown on me.

Cool! "

@ink_slinger Oh. Cool! I'll definitely use the #Cdnpoli one, if that works. :)

@SarcasmKid I don't know why I like that so much, but I do.

@jondavidenas One last thing: back up your system before installing a dual-boot set-up, regardless of the destination drive or partition. That way, you won't lose all your data if you make a mistake. Even very experienced admins make mistakes. ;)

@jondavidenas Just looked at your message again and it seems you won't be using a flash drive. That's good and will work fine, though the performance won't be good. It will probably be usable, I think. If you have a decent sized primary drive, I highly recommend partitioning it. The Linux installation tools will do all the work for you -- it's point and click.

@jondavidenas The two OSes can be on different drives. There isn't really anything special you would need to do if one of those drives is a usb device. If we're talking a USB flash drive, that would not be a good home for an OS of any kind because of poor I/O performance of those types of drives (USB is slow, and that type of flash is *really* slow).

@jondavidenas You're very welcome! 🙂

@jondavidenas Fair enough. You'll be quite capable before long. Have fun paying with Linux! It's a really well thought out, powerful, flexible system I think you will enjoy spending time on. :)

@jondavidenas lol. Fefora is that experimental Fedora fork -- stay away. ;)

@jondavidenas Yeah. That's easier, though it shouldn't be hard to set up on Fefora (but I don't know for sure) -- see my earlier toot on that. Your GPU will run without the proprietary drivers -- I've done this before on an older laptop -- but it won't perform as fast, and you might not be able to use all the 3D rendering features.

@jondavidenas KDE is lighter (significantly lower memory usage), more stable (judging by anecdotal reports I often see online), and highly customisable (where Gnome is less customisable). Also, KDE will likely be more familiar to you, coming from Windows.
