do you know of any similar projects in the opposite direction?

I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple)

same here but permanently since i can only chose between mac and windows for work laptops since leaving the few employers that support linux laptops.

i had to remap the globe/fn key to control since it sits in the control space and i struggle daily with copy/paste and i REALLY MISS the scroll-wheel-click/shift-insert copy/paste; i have to use a context menu for both.

oic, you’re thinking that ww3 will need to happen for the united states to take over, but the united states is already in charge and the only ww3 we might have is w china.

our system has created enough mass desperation for force people to chose military service rather than living a future of destitution and that guarantees that we will never have another draft.

there is, it’s just relatively few.

We’re much further ahead than them. Unlike Nazi Germany we’re already the world’s undisputed hegemon and all of the world’s most advanced economies are aligned w us.

Even though some are starting to learn to regret it; they’re still more skeptical of China or Russia than they are of us and our military presence within their borders and their dependence on our financial system ensures that they won’t stray unless the bombs literally start flying and, by then, it’ll be too late.

The neurodivergent attract the neurodivergent like magnets; it’s either a strong, irresistible bond or a complete, u equivocal rejection, never in between.

It sounds like they’re undiagnosed.

experts are trying to convince americans to respond, but we aren’t.

those weren’t left leaning people, they were liberals; specifically democrats.

advocating for them is always a good thing; my life has been heavily impacted by people like them and this is why i responded to your comment.

you’re seeing for yourself how misinformation can be spread (assuming that you didn’t already know) and, to drive this point home: leftists are called as such (outside the west) because they adhere to writings of people from the past that have analyzed, studied, and trial/errored on their strategies. the term leftists is co-opted heavily in the west and especially so in the united states; so when you encounter an “overzealous leftist” know that they’re not ascribing that any of those texts because those texts advocate for that same grace that you’re wondering if you should afford to them.

i think of them as left-maga since they know as much about leftism as trump’s maga does about politics or history.

the actual left leaning people of this country are reliable voters and the vote counts prove it since their numbers are as consistent as republican voters.

what you’re likely counting as “left leaning” are centrists by the world’s standards (aka democrats) and, by definition, don’t have strong enough feelings to vote either way; hence the political fervor that’s so weak that they don’t even show up at the polls.

I truly do not understand the hostility here…

people are pissed off at our system and redirecting it at each other is the defining characteristic of the culture wars.

that anger would be better placed at the system; but we’re too ignorant of it know how to use that anger effectively and willfully refuse to learn it.

same thing with americans and our government: too many of us derided people who gave this genocide the gravity it deserves during the election, as little more than a single issue voter; minimizing a genocide to some kind of policy or law that has little to no impact on the world’s stage.

vote blue, no matter who.

it sounds like something underlying is wrong, so would test everything that is underlying your system.

a memtest is the easiest first check. i wouldn’t rely on the one that’s on your system since it could be bad too, but it’s still worth it give it a try since it only takes a few seconds. if it finds anything, then there’s definately something wrong with your hardware.

instead, i would rely on a usb stick with the ubuntu image you downloaded. first verify that the checksum for the ubuntu image you have on a trusted computer is the same that ubuntu has on its website. then copy it to your usb stick and then use memtest from there. if it comfirms that your ram is okay, use ubuntu’s installation tools to verify that image on the usb stick is good; google or deepseek can show you how with easy to copy/paste commands.

in your shoes, i would re-install because at his point because then there’s confidence that the base steps are verified and should be working correctly and then you can move onto othere testing strategies if you continue to experience the same behavior.

parastic nature of the water according that the united states has placed upon latin america are coming to roost and this too will be ignored like the united states’ actions in gaza and the rest of the world.

i wonder if it’s too late for either considering the tariffs.

i love this guy’s videos and i bought my last laptop using his discount code; i was waiting for him to provide a slimbook code since i was planning on buying one, but now i think i’ll look for something else.

80 years is about right for people to start noticing that things are better outside the country and then there will probably be another new-deal like welfare state to keep the rat race going along further.
