Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ... in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Probably a combination of free/libre and gratis. Thing is,I was amazed at the speed of it compared to Windows (at the time I had XP).

My first incursion was with Puppy Linux circa 2010, then Ubuntu circa 2012, and now I want to hop to another distro but don't know which.

Good to know, thanks.

Still, I won't touch Windows if I can help it.

Oh, it isn't encrypted. I've mounted the partition before. I just didn't find the time (read: I was lazy :P).

I have a laptop still with Windows 10. I got it from my late sister about 4 years ago, booted it up, went and installed Ubuntu (18.04 at the time), and never touched Windows again.

I later read somewhere that W10 was forcibly upgrading itself to W11, so I'm afraid to even boot into it. Should probably take some time to copy everything important over and finally nuke it.

For reference, I've been using Linux since around 2012.

For those who pirate songs, how do you discover new music? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I usually listen to the radio, or let ViMusic (YouTube music algorithm) recommend me songs. Then I use yt-dlp (Seal app on F-Droid) to download them.
