My buddy works IT for a company and that 20% chance is one he encountered just last week!!

Fake it till you make it! (งツ)ว

You wouldn’t download an island…?!

I take back my chuckle

(That’s also when I realised my relatives never call me to share good news or to ask about me.)

I feel that in my bones, mate

Same here! I joined lemmy right around the time my main hdd took a dump–so there was probably a bit of influence coming from here…While scrambling to get another windows installed (and encountering a bunch of obstacles along the way) i finally decided to just try Linux Mint Cinnamon. Tbh, i wasn’t sure if my computer was bricked by the time i finally got mint to start up via usb. When it started working, i tried a few basic things–browsing the web, playing music, videos etc. When it all worked with a minimal amount of fuss, i decided it was time to give up windows if i could. Haven’t been back to windows since!
