  • Ubuntu Karmic Koala. To be fair, I was a kid and that was, according to people on the Internet, the most likely to work. And so it did - it had out of the box support for my wifi adapter, which some other distros I tried later did not, I had to use something called ndiswrapper. Of course I did not yet know about compiling my own configured kernel, that came a month or 2 later.

    I only stayed on Ubuntu for a while, then tried Mint, used that on and off for years, dabbled with Arch at some point, too. In the last 5 years I’ve used PopOs, Gentoo, OpenSuse, NixOS. I’m not gonna bother with capitalization and punctuation on some of these.







  • Yup. With shows and movies it’s the other way around. Netflix was already losing a lot of the third party content I liked and then they pulled the whole “have to live in the same house” thing. Instant cancel.

    I do have Apple TV+ nowadays, but only because I have the Apple One package that gives you Music, TV+, Arcade and storage space for a bit more than any of the services separately. TV+ is also nearly all originals and there are a lot of good ones. They have much less content, but much better quality to garbage ratio. I’ve watched some shows 3 times over. Not a service I’d likely pay for separately, but the bundle deal is just an excellent value proposition for me.

    Everything else I torrent. Indiscriminately. Hollywood blockbuster? Torrent. Estonian movie? If I missed it in the cinemas, torrent.
