Great, now I can stop renaming it on business PCs

Might look edgy or funny to some, but at the least isn’t professional and is offensive to many.

Gimp / retard / spaz

Yes, also say something is “GIMPed” if it’s broken or disabled/restricted in some way.

It’s a DIY electronics marketplace, went offline for “routine maintenance” as has been offline for 4 days and counting …

Why is the glass so fragile ? I’m sure they used to have a bottom metal frame

Ventoy for most, but some stuff doesn’t work with correctly when booted from ventoy:

• ChromeOS Flex won’t install to internal drive when ventoy booted, it will when flashed directly to a usb.

• also had Linux Mint 22 try to install to the ventoy drive (wiping it and then crashing halfway through)

• and dealing with really old 32bit bios laptops you’ll have to use direct usb too (AntiX still supports 32bit)

“Never used Linux,” They say, typing on a chromebook or android phone, before picking up their steamdeck.

A Chromebook /chromeOS is mostly a PC without apps.

1GB RAM is tough for a GUI and Firefox, maybe AntiX will work

Really need a minimum of 2GB then you can run ChromeOS Flex, or Linux Mint XFCE
