  • I also recommend downloading a linux image file, putting it on a USB stick and booting your computer from it. This lets you try out linux without making any changes to your computer. The other nice thing about a live USB stick is that it lets you make sure that linux detects all your computer’s hardware. If you don’t have any problems during the live session, you won’t have any problems when you install it for real.

    Another vote for Linux Mint. You can always try different linux distros later on.

    That’s not what it will be used for, and they damn well know it. Whenever tech companies come up with new applications, always think of the most evil thing it could be used for. And it is ALWAYS about propaganda, surveillance and control.

    This tech will be by authoritarians to scan faces in crowds, especially when those regimes give speeches. Looking for signs of ThoughtCrime: anger, incredulity, amusement, etc. Because if you show ANY of those signs, you’ll be added to the regime’s “list” even if you never carry a protest sign or say a single word.
