  • For me it was my older brother (who owned the only computer in the house). He had very strict rules about what I could do on his PC but even then he would only leave his room unlocked once a week at most. This was before I even cared for internet so being offline was no big deal.

    When I was 13 I managed to talk my way into doing some chores for a neighborhood PC school in exchange for access to computers whenever there was some free spot in any of their classes. A couple years later they opened a Lan House so I worked there and could finally use PCs all day every day. One more year and I was already teaching programming classes there (well, trying to).








  • I’m Brazilian. For the first time ever, this month I started seeing ads from the US’ tourism department or something. I used to see ads from Brazilian traveling agencies that take people there, never ads directly from the US. I thought it was quite absurd to think anyone would be going there for leisure purposes any time soon, but turns out the idioms school a block from my house is taking people there every year and the 2026 group is apparently larger than usual.

    I used them side by side for nearly two decades, don’t really remember what was my first distro or why I needed it, but when I tried Bazzite I finally realized I had absolutely no need for Windows anymore and finally got rid of it.


  • Because they don’t know what could potentially be running with root access and they’d rather block everything they don’t know.

    Earlier this year my accountant asked me to install an app on my phone to give them access to some banking details and that app would not open the login screen without the gboard keyboard enabled, because they considered custom keyboard apps = bad. It also would not let me use password managers, so I was forced to put my banking details beyond a weaker password than any of my online accounts for random sites.

    Can’t believe it’s only been six months since this.

    I’ve been fully rocking Bazzite since then. Only issue I had was that the PC freezes if it enters sleep mode. Bought a new laptop for work shortly after and put bluefin on it (loved it even more than Bazzite), then nuked Manjaro from the desktop to keep it dedicated to gaming only.

    Sadly shortly after the company I work for wrote a new device policy and now the only distros they allow are Debian based, but I didn’t want to give up bluefin so I went back to working on the desktop with dual boot mint+bazzite and kept the laptop going in hopes of switching jobs soon so I can go back to it (I’m hating have to use mint after getting a taste of much more stable options).

    So far I only had one single game that needed some tweaking to work properly, everything else just ran smoothly out of the box.
