So professionally, if you include a document searchable online and maybe it’s clear that you both made the document and use no Windows computers but somehow still included these fonts then there might be a case, but I think it would be difficult to pursue and would probably not be considered as the original intent was to put these fonts out in the wild.
Again, IDK. I’m not a lawyer and don’t pay for one. My suggestion is to avoid the grey areas unless you are prepared to fight.
Uhh, maybe on initial setup. I haven’t played in a month or so and just launched it in two clicks.
You can snag the fonts folder directly from a windows install under C:\Windows\Fonts
You can also download them from Soulseek assuming I’m online (which I am not currently) and probably other locations (but be safe about it of course).
I don’t have a problem with either of these on a personal level, and you might be fine copying the folder as long as you own the copy of Windows. Professionally, Microsoft might actually have a case that you are using their fonts outside of their agreement.
Also, unless you can get a proper license from Soulseek (or wherever) that limits your liability, you are probably in the same boat.
Just make sure that you don’t mix business with a personal machine if you do this. I am not a lawyer, but I am in IT. Fonts are a source of aggressive litigation lately, so I’m only suggesting you be careful or find a proper alternative. I would treat any gray area professionally as a possible breach of terms. I think the real take-away is that unless you really need it you can do without it.
Nobody can but the companies that make it. Mostly due to kernel level anticheat (which you shouldn’t install on windows either tbh). Some games like Destiny run fine but they just ban your acct for playing on linux, it isn’t linux that is the problem, it’s Bungie (etc).
I agree completely. Something something played us for fools.
Luanti is great, but since the topic is about switching to Linux I feel the need to point out that Minecraft Java has been running on Linux I think from the very beginning. I use prism launcher when the kids feel like playing. The setup is more complicated than using the official Linux launcher, but it is more stable.
I guess this is bait, but I installed LibreOffice explicitly to test compatibility recently. I was able to make the same Word document in both. I opened the LibreOffice doc in word.com and the only reason it was different was fonts. It did look fine in print preview. Excel functions and VBA both worked in simple tests. Bonus points for functioning on the 18 year old test system. If your argument is that LibreOffice looks like ass, then I agree.
Now, if you can’t let Windows go because of Roblox or Apex, I can’t help you. All of my Steam games work, and I have games in Epic and GOG launcher. Sometimes I have to click options and select a different proton, but that has not been an issue since upgrading from my 10 year old video card to something new.
Buy a SAS adapter and put them in an external storage rack.
This hardware is for those who are storing EB of data.
I have the highest horse to bitch from about systemd.
I have GNU Hurd running on a distributed compute platform of 40 salvaged optiplex 9010 workstations.
160 cores 320 GB DDR3
It shares space with a gigabyte board stuffed with SAS cards providing NFS shares.
I’m still working on the details, but my Luanti server should be up soon.
Working on a distro is the new starting a band.
The cold probably is what killed the battery. For the touch pad, maybe? I’d blame the travel too.
Sorry I couldn’t help you with it.
Yeah, that shouldn’t be struggling as you explained. I say this as one who cheated curates these things professionally. I assume the 128 disk is a SSD, because that is the biggest bottleneck right there. Next is to disable as much startup stuff as possible.
If you are anywhere near Cincinnati, I would come buy that laptop off you.
Yikes, less than 60 GB? I’m betting you are practically out of disk space and/or you don’t have enough memory. What’s the model laptop?
If you feel really froggy, post the memory configuration too: number of sticks and size.
I realize it’s a Linux conversation, but some people need Windows-only tools. Case in point: there is no way I’m updating insulin pump firmware via a compatibility layer
Is your Windows laptop still running a spinning disk? Putting a SSD in there is a game changer.
Trump has a special Bible that cuts and pastes the bits and pieces of the Bible that says what he wants.

It’s based off New King James, which is the official Catholic text. This is the Orange Catholic Bible.

Edited to correct date from 2001 to 2021. My fat fingers tell all the lies.
I do it in sprints. I’ll set up a service, test it, get it working, then share it with the family.
I hear you on the instructions. A lot of these are pet projects that just happen to work well enough to share, so a bit of work is needed to implement them. If you document for others, you find that you can’t ever put every step in there because you can’t control all the variables.
More like shitposting, but someone is bound to take this to heart.
If you are doing word merges or something and need to have a standardized load then you are kind of locked on there. We aren’t all lucky enough to have an in house team that will build a one-off app to do whatever.
Extra-stuck if it is postage or banking related.
Now, if it was a home PC, then the Windows tax is making less and less sense.
