just run it in wine

btw, ccleaner, along with avira, avg and avast have all been (or are about to be) acquired by norton. all the washed up anti-malware companies are grouping to form a giant scoop with which they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

is this a joke or would ccleaner in wine actually be able to do anything?

christ, good to know. i know avira/vg/avast/norton are all horrible but i didn't know ccleaner fell under that scope :( that sucks

It's different though. You see, when things suck in Windows, you have to use it, but when things suck on Linux, you get to use it!

Norton Crypto is included as part of Norton 360 subscriptions. However, there are coin mining fees as well as transaction costs to transfer Ethereum.

The coin mining fee is currently 15% of the crypto allocated to the miner.

so as part of your subscription to norton, that you pay real dollars for, it takes 15% of the crypto you mine with your power and hardware. so you're paying to pay with a different currency. what a fucking ripoff lol

I honestly do prefer the problem solving process on Linux. Solving problems on a Windows desktop is finding a tutorial with instructions to click (as the best case scenario), which may or may not be up to date. Clicking the right fields takes up a lot of attention, somehow. I find command line and text file stuff to be clearer a lot of time and you can build up some conceptual understanding over time, even if the tools could be better without legacy cruft. E.g. bash is not a fine programming language, Unix commands are needlessly cryptic ('cp' instead of 'copy' and 'mv' instead of 'move' or 'rename' kinda suck. But learning basic command line usage made me way more efficient and it was also fun.

I missed this, but I agree. The big benefit of the command line is the uniformity. Every interface is its own language, subject to change, laborious to speak, and unrecordable.

But the Linux command line can be stored and every solution recorded for future use. It kicks ass.

Sometime after this post, I broke my bootloader partition because I made it hilariously small. But my "things to do after installing Linux" script was pretty thorough so I just copied my home dir and reinstalled Linux lol

It took ~1h of copying and a bit of attention in between baking cookies, autumn of 2022 :)
