Dude just gave people ideas of how to get revenge on bad landlords, spray some spores on your last day and hope for the worse.

My general rule is that i shouldn’t spend more energy than the person asking for help because there are people that call for help not because they are unable to solve the thing on their own, but because they rather someone else did everything for them.
We are one old guy away from the first world i see
P2p is the way the web naturally flowed, protocols like bittorrent wore able to distribute content better than giant streaming companies without relying on giant infrastructure.
Now sharing is frowed upon, hosting your own server at home is frowed upon, the web used to be more made by users, now to do anything you need to go through a big company.
The difficulties you face on piracy is just a reflection of how capitalism is fucking the web.
You go accepting one small thing after another, and soon you will be locked into a crappy service.
Most of the “tech” youtube world is based around presenting mostly useless consumer products as it was technological advancement.
Most of their SAAS advertisers could be replaced by a “docker compose up”, hardware ones, most of the time are just regular tools with one or two gimmick.
The way to get money advertising on linux is by misleading business people into getting useless enterprise services.
That and using multiple instances of the browser instead of one instance with many tabs helped me a lot. If i have to switch tasks i go to a new workspace and only open the software related to that task there. Once I’m done i just close everything in the workspace and move back to the previous one that is the same way it was before i switch.
Which video editor did you use ? Mint shouldnt fell clunky out of the box, maybe the editor you choose was too much for your hardware, or you had some hardware/instalation specific issue, Da Vinci Resolve is quite heavy on resources, maybe Kdenlive would perform better on this machine.
There are many lightweight basic video editors o linux, give them a try to check if the clunkynes go away.
Not exactly a piracy tool, but syncthing is quite useful to keep pc and other devices in parity if you don’t plan to leave one on all the time.
You didn’t mention gaming, but if you plan to use your tablet for emulators, you can sync save files with it if the emulators are compatible cross pc and android like ppsspp.
To be fair, nowadays malware behavior is more likely to come from the companies than the cracks.
Curators are a good way too, some blogs or podcasts do a lot of heavy lifting in discovering new shows, some communities with similar tastes are also good to find content, way better than algos and ads.
Yes, for things too complex to do in sed but not complex enough to need a “normal” programming language like python.
My advice is segregatting work and personal environment, your company’s computer isn’t safe for general usage.
About stuff you use for yourself, don’t focus on which program you want to use, but on the task you must accomplish, most software that is made to mimic a Windows workflow are not great, sometimes you think you need a msword alternative, but you just need to create a document, there’s many ways to manipulate documents on linux that are so much better than text processors like word or libre/wps/only, and you will miss it by straight up looking for alternatives.
On Window’s software are usually bound by a lot a comercial bullshit, they have to bloat to be able to be forever at development and pushing new versions, Linux usually follows into Unix philosophy, aiming for small high quality software that are easy to compose into a bigger workflow, even when not using cli tools that operate on text streams, a gui linux application usually work with standard formats, don’t try to overlap features and are easy to replace if needed.
And about transition, i like the dual boot approach, have a linux partition, and use it for what you can do better on linux when you want to, as you get better with linux, you will be wanting to use window’s less and less.
Doesn’t have offline support, but it’s easy to setup, ytmusic vanced on mobile with ytmusic with ublock origin on desktop.
In my country, there’s a saying, “The one who hurts forgets, the one hurt remember.”
First time i saw that i went mad, why the fuck i need to download 6gb to compile a cpp module, on linux gcc is only a few mb.
That’s why you don’t make your systems dependent on any of those tools. If Mongo goes crazy, you add an implementation to another document database, test to see if performance is good enough, and start to migrate to another database.
There’s no problem in using proprietary shit. The problem is marrying stuff you can’t rely on, building your house on land you don’t own.
That’s also one of the reasons why it isn’t good to use very unique features from any service, because once you start relying on it, you get locked, AWS may have a billion services, i would normally only use those that other providers also have.
It’s easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don’t know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.
Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.
Well, Apple uses a Unix like OS, that have a lot of nice things in common with Linux.
I don’t hate ms bullshit anymore, people are free to use anything else. Now, i am just glad that the average consumer software is garbage, and we can look like wizards and get some cash when we automate lengthy processes for corpos that got used to the inefficiency.
