I can't ignore the irony.

I still call it Twitter. I refuse to call it anything with the letter X in it. That includes "X (formerly known as Twitter)".

Even a broken clock is right twice a day as the saying goes.

Though he's right for entirely the wrong reasons, I'm betting.

I installed Mint on a USB to give it a go.

My wifi driver doesn't work on it. I have to plug my phone in to use it as a tethered hotspot to get it to connect. And I tried what a lot of the guides said online. Nothing.

I'd say I have the technical chops. I just don't have the time and energy needed to try to fix something.

I'm also the kind of person that, if everything's not working exactly the way I want it to, then I need to fix it right now. So I know I'd waste hours trying to fix something that (for me) just works on Windows.

To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I've always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I've sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn't run as well as it did beforehand.

It's like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

Good thing this is posted on lemmy.world.

... I think it's the third reason. /j

Then he can remember what things were like before he fell out of a window!

They're not trying to hide it, though.

Everyone knows that's what they do. And that's why they continue doing it that way. It's a way to say, "There's nothing you can do to stop me, now shut up and obey."

Acute lead poisoning?

This is heavy, Doc!
